"Why cant he go to a black city?" Trumps "my African-American" voter slams his presidency so far
‘Why can’t he go to a black city?’: Trump’s ‘my African-American’ voter slams his presidency so far
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/why-cant-he-go-to-a-black-city-trumps-my-african-american-voter-slams-his-presidency-so-far/
Greg Cheadle became the subject of national attention in 2016 when then-candidate Donald Trump singled him out at a rally in Redding, CA and called him “my African-American,” but now Cheadle has harsh words for a president he believes has abandoned the black community altogether.
The Los Angeles Times spoke to Cheadle, who says he mostly voted for Trump by default and has steadily become more frustrated with the president.
“I would like for him just to show an interest in black people,” Cheadle told the Times. “Why can’t he go to a black city? Why can’t he trumpet black business? Why can’t he have more black people in his administration?”
Not that Cheadle feels that former President Barack Obama did a great deal for black America, either, telling the Times that Obama “didn’t do anything publicly to satisfy me he was for black people.”
