Did anyone see Brian Williams show last night where he showed a clip of MF45 talking about how

Blacks get all the jobs because they are black? It was from 1989. He’s always been a racist MFer.

I recorded the video on my Apple phone but don’t know how to get it on DU.

i could almost see the wheels turning, reminding him to say "black" when what he wanted to say was a much more derogatory term. he is a diehard racist. i hope he skips the speech being written by miller. is it already announced?

In an ad released by a super PAC affiliated with Emily’s List, ordinary Americans are asked to read Trump’s statements. Many refuse, although they later show the cards with the quotes to the camera. This is an effective way of demonstrating how objectionable Trump’s statements may be to certain voters, but it also allows the ad makers to show one provocative quote — “laziness is a trait in blacks” — for which there is no actual recording; it is a secondhand quote attributed to Trump by a former employee.

Still, Trump has made other remarks, in public, that could be considered racially insensitive. In 1989, he told Bryant Gumbel in an interview: “A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. … If I was starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I really do believe they have the actual advantage today.”

He was smoldering at Brian Williams the rest of the segment. Everything Trump said in the clip was hard core racist propaganda. Like Michael Steele said, "not just an educated black man, but a "well" educated black man."

I'm 71 (white) and have been listening to this racist shit my entire life, as had Michael Steele.

We take a look back to some controversial comments from Trump on race from 1989, and Michael Steele reacts to what - if anything - has changed in how the president views this issue. Aired on 6/9/2020.

he had done more to help black people than any president since Lincoln.

The slimeball will say anything, no matter how offensive and vile.
