Here's the deal with Trump's "Racial Outreach"
It's not for "the blacks", as he would say....it's entirely focused on making whites, preferably college-educated ones, take a second look at him, convince themselves that he's OK to vote for (which is what they REALLY want to do in their hearts) since he "clearly" is no longer a racist.
It explains why he reaches out to African-Americans by giving a speech nowhere near where African-Americans actually live. It explains why his message was so misaligned with what African-Americans actually want to hear. The audience was not black people.
The audience is white people who are, against their will, voting for Hillary or not voting. It's totally to give them the mental excuse to go back to the Republican party.
It's a craven and disgusting, cynical strategy, but don't underestimate the appeal to those white voters who only need the flimsiest of justifications to come running back to the Republican Party.
We need to fight this.
