Trump continues to mock African Americans at his victory rallies who "didn't come out to vote"

Trump calls on Pennsylvania rally crowd to cheer for African-Americans who "didn't come out to vote" http://trib.in/2hqjq1n


Thursday's rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania, found the president-elect calling for the mostly white crowd to cheer for African-Americans who were "smart" to heed his message and therefore "didn't come out to vote" for his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.

"That was the big thing, so thank you to the African-American community," Trump said.

...you just know Trump will be first in line to block efforts to remove restrictions which prevented millions from voting, like voter id; early voting; same-day registration; the purging of voters from election rolls; outdated and faulty machinery; and a shortage of voting sites.

When Trump applauds declining black voter participation, he's openly celebrating the elimination of voting rights for non-whites.

Trump's campaign reportedly worked to suppress black votes. The black vote was down. Trump applauds that publicly. https://t.co/cjwPQqZQKu

I'm surprised that someone in the halls of Justice haven't jerked a knot in his ass over all this racism yet.

It matters not where a person is from, the color of their skin or anything else. We are all Humans, brothers and sisters.

At a time when he should be uniting the country, he continues to divide with rallies and twitter.

This is important because when tragedy or calamity occurs, and it will in some form from natural disaster to terrorist attack, he will not have the support of the American public.

In fact when such an event occurs, he will use it to further divide the nation. He will be incapable of anything else
