Black communities in worst shape ‘ever, ever, ever’
Donald Trump made an eye-popping claim on Tuesday when asking black voters to support him for president. “We will educate him”, Obama said.
Trump has made multiple overt attempts to reach out to African-American voters in the past month, including a trip to a black church in Detroit earlier this month, which was his first of the campaign.
Trump also used to regularly state that 58 percent of African-American youth were unemployed, though his explanation of that figure indicated that he included a larger sample than typically recognized, many of whom would be full-time students not actively looking for work.
Despite his words aimed at drawing black voters to his campaign, Trump on Tuesday did not address the most police recent shooting of an unarmed African-African American man. Terence Crutcher, a 40-year-old black man, was shot by police Friday night in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
From there, Lemon asked Lewandowski about why none of Trump’s African-American friends and employees are getting through to the mogul about how he insults people by talking at them instead of to them.
Trump has not taken advantage of numerous opportunities he has had to speak in front of predominantly African-American audiences.
NBC News reported that the image that Trump presents of black communities “tends to hyperbolize the black experience in America and plays into stereotypes about the experience of African-Americans in the United States that does not match the reality”.
KENANSVILLE, North Carolina (CNN) – Donald Trump thinks black communities in the USA are “absolutely in the worst shape that they’ve ever been in before”. His comments have appeared to have had an impact on African-American voters, but not, so far, a major one.
“We’re going to make our country wealthy again”, Trump said, according to Politico.
The GOP nominee’s actual poll numbers among African-Americans have been dismal: according to Washington Post/ABC polling, Trump is only taking 5 percent of the demographic, based on an average of data from August and September.
