Referring to African-American men as "the hip-hop vote," Rivera said on The Sean Hannity Show Tuesday that Trump could court the voting bloc by brandishing how rich he is and stressing his anti-immigrant bona fides.

"If Donald Trump can go to black men and say, 'Trump is keeping out your competition for jobs with the immigration stuff' and also 'Trump is rich, you can be (too),'" Rivera said on the program. "If he can get the hip-hop vote — if he can get that number from 10% to 15%, 18% — in a state like Ohio, (that) makes a difference."

If stereotyping all black men as "hip-hop" doesn't make you roll your eyes, Rivera's underlying point should.

After decades of demagoguing against minorities and dog whistling about "welfare queens," the GOP isn't going to repair the damage by telling black voters they can be just as rich as a billionaire candidate. Trying to stoke resentment between black and brown-skinned immigrants isn't going to help, either.
