Appearing on ABC’s “This Week”, Trump said blacks would fare well under a Trump administration. Trump says he agrees with those who say King’s dream hasn’t been realized.
“I agree with them, especially under President Obama. We have an African American president and the black youth, the African American youth has essentially never done worse,” Trump said.
“You look at the unemployment in the 50s, you look at African American people that are 30, and 35 and 40 in the height of their strength and life. President Obama, an African American, has done a terrible job for African Americans,” he added. “Donald Trump will do a great job for African Americans. I’ll bring back jobs to this country from China and many other places, and I’ll let people work and make a great living.
I will be great for African Americans.” He goes on to say ““I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks.”
As if the words “the Blacks” doesn’t tell us all we need to know about his pre-election attitude. As if the words “I will LET THE PEOPLE work…” doesn’t say the second top thing we need to know about his attitude.
He doesn’t have to LET any of “the Blacks” do the very thing that made him and his kind rich in the first place – work. “The Blacks” even worked for the welfare that his own skin color kissing cousins received when “the Blacks” weren’t welcome to eat at the table THEY prepared for this nation. To make things worse, his own father’s white nationalist Ku Klux Klan legacy as a pimp, a hustler, a numbers runner, a player, a womanizer, and a drug dealer says even more about his personal attitude on “the Blacks”.
“The Blacks” from Trump’s Point of View
Now …
If Trump really knew what is meant by how King’s dream has not been realized, he would know that it is his kind who have helped it not to happen.
Under past leadership like Trump’s African American youth have always done worse, and it set the precedent for what we see now. So many Black youth initiatives like Har*You in Harlem, NY, was started back in the 1960s to address these disparities. The other point here is that African American youth are not really going to do any better under a Trump Administration than they have in the past 150 years.
That much is a mathematical certainty.
In the meantime, enjoy the Seth Meyers jokes from circa 2011 … if Trump wins, you will see the jokes about Trump get more serious by the second, come to pass in full view and 3D/4D. And the same “the Blacks” who voted for Trump will have more to say after it’s too late.
#LateFreight Isn’t that always the way?
Meyers says the closest Trump ever got to a Black family was the white folks sitting at his dinner table. Accuracy in journalism, where ‘funny’ makes you go “Hmm”.
