"'Look at MY African-American over here." "We're going to take care of OUR African-Americans."

[napkinz]

He made the first statement last week, the second tonight.

What's with Trump and the ownership of African-Americans??????

[spanone]

1. duh!

[napkinz]

3. how will Republicans spin this one tonight?

for the past 72 hours, they've been arguing that saying something racist doesn't make you a racist

[spanone]

6. i don't have a clue. i would keep sharp objects away from reince priebus.

he's a blatant racist.

[napkinz]

8. one surprise, conservative radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt called him out on it tonight

[spanone]

11. i couldn't believe he agreed with rachel maddow!!!!

[napkinz]

12. I'm wondering ... was that actually written into his speech, was "OUR" actually on the teleprompter?

[spanone]

13. well, nicole wallace claimed he helped write the speech...that's probably the 1 word he wrote

[napkinz]

14. if I heard correctly, his daughter, Chris Christie, and Jeff Sessions helped him write the speech

[madaboutharry]

2. He probably owned a plantation in a past life

and the memory keeps bubbling up. Ugh, he is a pig.

[napkinz]

5. he has a great relationship with "THE" blacks ...

[1StrongBlackMan]

4. But only his ghettoeized African-Americans ...

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.

[bravenak]

7. Oh my!

But he said black fifty times....

[napkinz]

19. note that Trump often says "THE" blacks

[bravenak]

22. He really is a creep

[napkinz]

26. a creep ... and a racist

[craigmatic]

9. If trump was smart he'd actually propose policies to help the black community. He's not going to win

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.

[napkinz]

15. Haven't you heard, he's really smart!

[onecaliberal]

10. He doesn't even know the connotation that come with "my" African American

Scary stupid.

[napkinz]

16. "MY African-American," "OUR African-Americans," "THE blacks"

very revealing

[onecaliberal]

17. Indeed. Sad and sorry state of affairs. I've been competely dissolutioned by

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.

[napkinz]

18. notice how now Republicans are calling Trump out on his racist comments, but where were

they five years ago when he was pushing the birther issue?

[onecaliberal]

21. Precisely. The media made this Frankenstein in the name of greed for their own profits.

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.

[genna]

20. I like trump's run for president solely for his ability to explain to America what is bubbling up

Underneath the surface.

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.

[Quantess]

23. Those are actually some really good points.

I appreciate that Trump is like a republican laboratory monster on steroids, who has a supernatural ability to turn the dog whistles up so that everyone can hear them.

[firebrand80]

24. At least he's sharing us now

That's progress

[napkinz]

27. well, he does say he is a very generous person ... look how much he's given to veterans, ahem

[Dorian Gray]

25. Paul Ryan: "Look at MY racist over here! We're going to take care of OUR Racists!"

Ridiculous

[napkinz]

28. just heard on CNN that Ryan had a meeting this morning with House members and urged them all to

get behind Trump

[Dorian Gray]

29. Ugh

of course he is…

I thought that Lindsay Graham might be the beginning of the tide turning.

Guess not.

[napkinz]

31. sums it up ...

30. This is how you talk when you're raised by racists

You don't even realize the shit that's falling out of your mouth.

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.

[napkinz]

32. Tweety covering the story on Hardball tonight
