Trump Begged Blacks To Vote For Him. Their Responses Are PERFECT
Yesterday Republican nominee Donald Trump spoke in North Carolina and made a pathetic attempt at appealing to African American voters. For the last several months polls have put Trump’s support among black Americans at roughly 1%. His policies are anathema to the needs of black communities – healthcare, better public schools, safety from discrimination and police violence, free childcare and paid maternity leave for working mothers, and a guaranteed living wage.
In his uninspiring speech, he asked:
“If African Americans give Donald Trump a chance by giving me their vote, the result for them will be amazing. Look at how badly things are going under decades of Democratic leadership – look at the schools, look at the 58 percent of young African Americans not working. It is time for change.
What do you have to lose by trying something new?”

African Americans, like all Americans who are not white supremacists, have nothing to gain from a Trump presidency and everything to lose.
