He made the first statement last week, the second tonight.
What's with Trump and the ownership of African-Americans??????

(31,849 posts)who else made the mistake of only speaking of African-Americans in the context of poverty and/or prison?
But then, trump did start his speak by welcoming pissed off Bernie supporters ... ho also, tend to think of African-Americans, in that context.

(4,510 posts)latinos anyway and democrats are taking us for granted. He talks off the cuff and you would think he'd say something like this but no. He's stupid and wants attention more than winning.

(32,775 posts)The level of hatred and racism that frump has brought out from under the woodwork. He made hate cool with these people. And there is a breathtaking number of them.

(32,775 posts)Just wait until he goes after Clinton. The republicans are going to lick it up because there is no one they hate more than her. Then all the talk of the GOP dumping him will go away.

The media chooses what is newsworthy and has chosen to ignore police brutality until it became self evident. They chose to cover it until became obvious that it is part of the culture and there is no immediate answer for it. It is still happening whether anyone wants to continue to report on it or scrutinize the means employed to continue the practice.
Trump is demonstrating how deeply felt our dehumanization is. This is just one more unacceptable thing he believes that the Republican Party has made policy or politic if they can attach a black face to it.

BTW, the "inner cities" he's going to fix up (yeah, right) have other ethnicities besides African Americans. Latinos, Asians, even Appalachians. He's so NYC-centric.
