Donald Trump, the Republican who is running for US president in 2016, has been doing what the White press calls “Black outreach”:
July 2016: Trump names Omarosa head of Black outreach. Spike Lee comments:
“Trump Has Named Her As His ‘Director Of African-American Outreach. You Might Know Her From Trump’s RealityTV Show The Apprentice. #Who’s Next? Step N’ Fetchit? Aunt Jemina? Uncle Ben?”
August 22nd: in Ohio before a vastly White audience Trump says:
“Poverty. Rejection. Horrible education. No housing, no homes, no ownership. Crime at levels that nobody has seen. … Look, it is a disaster the way African Americans are living, in many cases, and, in many cases the way Hispanics are living, and I say it with such a deep-felt feeling: What do you have to lose? I will straighten it out. I’ll bring jobs back. We’ll bring spirit back. We’ll get rid of the crime. You’ll be able to walk down the street without getting shot. Right now, you walk down the street, you get shot. Look at the statistics.”
Thin on policy, thick on stereotype.
August 29th: he tweets:
“Inner-city crime is reaching record levels.”
As if “inner-city crime” is a thing the FBI gathers numbers on. If he means big-city crime, that has dropped by half during the past 20 years or so – even in Chicago. It is nowhere near record levels.
September 3rd: in Detroit he sets foot in a Black neighbourhood for the first time in his 14-months of running for president. Gasp! And, for the first time in his 70 years on this earth – the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s – he goes to a Black church. He gives a scripted interview with no hard questions and then gives a short speech. Standing next to Omarosa, he sways while music is playing. Afterwards he visits Ben Carson’s old house – and then takes off.
September 14th: Trump goes to Flint, Michigan, where Republicans have knowingly allowed its Black-majority citizenry to be poisoned by lead in the water. When that made news nationwide, Trump refused to comment. At Flint he speaks at a church, but later bad-mouths its (Black) pastor. He takes a picture with Mari Copeny, Little Miss Flint (shown above), but does not answer the questions she had prepared.
September 16th: Trump, Birther-in-chief, admits that President Obama was born in the US – five years after Obama made public his long-form birth certificate. But Trump does not apologize (or even fauxpologize) for humiliating the country’s first Black president.
Trump has not appeared before the NAACP, which even Romney did, much less, say, the Roland Martin show or the Tom Joyner Morning Show, which reaches 8 million people. It is not as if he has not been invited.
Thus his “Black outreach” to date.
Remarks: Someone running for president who was serious about the Black vote would not act like this. But someone putting on a show for White voters who think maybe he is too racist to vote for – he would act like this.

Fan, you said what I was just about to. That little girl looks super anxious.
More to the point, who is the guy standing behind Trump? Have you clocked the evils he is giving that little girl… Oh, u said that too!
To your second quote Abagond, does he say how he’s going to manage all this because that’s a mighty big order. I doubt even Jesus with all his miracle superpowers could do that in 4 years. He’ll get rid of Crime? Wow then what will all the politicians, law enforcement, lawyers, judges and bankers do? Half the country will be out of work in his crime free U.S., Oh! But wait! He’s going to get rid of unemployment too so is he going to have new jobs for the bankers and politicians? I know, they can build the wall dividing The U.S. from Mexico… I think my brain is about to explode! Surely he didn’t mean that all the unemployment and all the crime lies entirely in the hands of black people? I mean, that would be racist wouldn’t it so he wouldn’t think that!

Yeah Zoe – either that guy is as you say, “the evils he is giving that little girl…” or he’s checking out Trump’s rump! Which might explain why his thumb is up. Either way, it’s not a good look!

I also just noticed in that picture Trump is not even holding Mari Copeny’s hand, he’s holding onto her wrist. This is not a naturally friendly gesture at all. It denotes ownership or possession. Also he’s not looking at her he’s posing for the camera. She’s clearly picking up on this by the way she’s looking away and frowning. Also her body is hunched and slightly curled into itself in a gesture of self protection. Her right arm in front of her body could also indicate that she feels ill at ease. If this was a picture of a father and daughter I would guess that they don’t have a good relationship and that he is probably abusive. Admittedly it is just a moment in time and we don’t see before or after but they say a picture tells a thousand words. If I was his pr I wouldn’t have wanted this picture circulated to be honest. Especially compounded with the weird gesture of the guy behind

Even Trump’s smile looks fake.. strained… unnatural .. not genuine or real.
Could be he’s never touched a Black child before…
“If I was his pr I wouldn’t have wanted this picture circulated to be honest.”
If I was his pr I wouldn’t have wanted him to leave his apartment, or give interviews and press conferences.
This election *show* is quite the production. Never has there been two highly unfavorable and undesirable front runners.
I believe Trump doesn’t want to win. I think the plan is to throw the (s)election so that Hillary will get in office (without having to rig/cheat her way through the entire voting process).
Truth is stranger than fiction and hindsight is 20-20. We’ll see soon enough what will happen. Bet you’re glad you’re NOT an Amerikan.

It’s not much different here tbh. And what ever happens over there will have a knock on effect here anyway. Teresa May is pretty right wing and the ‘Brexit’ campaign was a farce. Both sides told blatant lie after lie in order to gain support. And the whole immigrant situation in this country has been blown completely out of proportion as a scapegoat as to the real issues going on in Britain right now. If corbyn can hold onto leadership of the labour party and get elected next year it could be a real boost for the country but as it stands right now I don’t really see that happening unless May makes some massive error. At least our police don’t carry guns so little black children don’t get shot in the back by them, Although statistically more black men die in police custody than anyone else. And young black men get stopped and searched all the time.
Your theory on Trump running to facilitate Clintons presidency; I have heard that idea from American friends of mine also. It wouldn’t surprise me it it were the case.

You know what, i’ve said this very thing in a few comments up! I agree that his run is a farce in terms of its legitimacy. Trump is way too extreme to be taken serious.
I too, feel he is trying to sabotage his own campaign, to insure a Hilary win.
Say what you will about the white supremacists but it is so masterful in execution, where nobody never suspects such a diabolical plot.
Only a few individuals with a discerning eye can pick up on something like this.

Sondis,
Rumors, subterfuges and conspiracies (not theories) abound in secret …
We’ll have to wait and see. The *show* ain’t over yet. It may have even more twists, turns, sub-plots, misdirections and surprises.
Somewhere in the background there’s probably an Olivia Pope-like persona (a fixer) directing this mess toward the desired outcome – whatever that might be. It won’t be a return the good old days. Darker days are coming. We’ve lost a lot of basic freedoms since 9-11 via the elite. All of the terrorist groups combined could have never hoped to hurt Amerikans as much. The police state is killing more Amerikans than any terrorists! Moreover there’s talk about federalizing the police. Do you remember the analogy about boiling a frog in water?? The water temp rises gradually and before long the frog is COOKED/DEAD with no chance to escape. Anywho:
I would have bet the farm a few years back that the Clintons would not have been permitted by the people to get anywhere near the big house AGAIN given their past “behaviors.”
Silly me! Shows precisely how much I know.

Hmmmm… Maybe that was the plan in the beginning. Bogey man Trump drive voters to Clinton. But then the health story blew up. Gotta call an audible and perhaps throw Hillary under the bus.

That was a bad move, if he really hoped to attract black voters. The only black people that are going to vote for that are the police. Plus he had his black surrogate Don King offer up a racial slur. It’s as if he said it himself.
