YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In recent days, Donald Trump has recalibrated his presidential campaign to reach out to Black voters.

The GOP’s presidential nominee talked about the problems Black communities are facing and how he’s the person to fix them. The problem with Trump’s attempt to attract African-American voter support is that he’s making his appeal to Blacks in front of predominantly all-White audiences. The pitch Trump is using to woo the Black vote: “What do you have to lose?”

While many have been fooled into thinking that Trump is making a serious attempt to gain Black voters, Roland Martin views Trump’s Black voter outreach attempts as a way to prove to White voters that he is not racist.

Martin, who’s said for months that Trump has an issue connecting with suburban White women voters, exposed Trump’s plan to juxtapose his African-American voter outreach efforts with his campaign’s desire to sway the opinions of White women and counter the view that he’s a racist.
