It is unlikely that Trump will win the black vote
Trump travels to Detroit Saturday, where he’ll be interviewed by Bishop Wayne T. Jackson and give brief remarks before his congregation, Great Faith Ministries International, with remarks set to be broadcast on the Impact Network.
“That’s incredible that you would ask everybody on here to be respectful and civil when you are interviewing someone who never display that”, Kerry Hill said in response to the warning that asked users to refrain from name-calling. While he usually speaks to mainly white crowds, Detroit itself is 83 per cent black.
“This weekend, we know we are having a guest here: presidential candidate, Mr. Donald Trump”, Jackson said once the music had died down. Ben Carson is seated next to Trump at center.
Watch Roland Martin, Wendell Anthony and the NewsOne Now panel discuss Donald Trump’s attempt to garner African American voter support in the video clip above. African-Americans will vote for Trump. At a recent rally in OH, the GOP nominee took the same perplexing approach.
“African-Americans still love Obama”, he said. “How much more crime, how many more shootings, will it take for African-Americans and Latinos to vote Trump=SAFE!”
But some say it could be too little too late.
Jackson said that his Christian faith teaches him that it was important to sit down and talk to people with whom he disagrees. Democratic politicians have ruined inner cities, he says.
Mr. Trump what is your vision for America? He has urged black voters to support his bid for the presidency, posing the rhetorical question, “What do you have to lose?”.
Trump described struggles “beyond belief” in the interview.
Michael Barnett, an African-American, and chair of Florida’s Palm Beach County GOP, praises Trump for raising uncomfortable questions. “Barack Obama was a special candidacy”.
“And the things people are asking: ‘Is Donald Trump paying me off?’ They haven’t paid me off”.
Trump may not be able to reduce that slide among black Americans. Every individual, regardless of race or ethnicity, must have access to the full array of opportunities in America.
“I do believe he’s going to get a higher percentage than the last two cycles because people don’t trust Hillary Clinton”, he said.
That leaves many black leaders and voters accusing Trump of peddling stereotypes. Regarding the allegation of bigotry, Clinton’s 1996 labeling of young gang members, many of whom were black, as “superpredators” still haunts her. Trump and GOP chairman Reince Priebus both cited that statement as justification for Trump’s accusation, even though she apologized for it in February.
Throughout her bid, Clinton has directed specific appeals to African-Americans. He also says that the candidate has a right to make his case to black voters.
Trump’s campaign is already on air in Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and Florida. There were dozens of polling precincts – mostly in Detroit – where not a single vote was cast for Romney in 2012. “He is not speaking to our interests, he is not interested in us, he is interested in our vote.” .
