(1,693 posts)5. I just
Tuned into that too. I think I just found on the Internet that he recently resigned from the Democrat party and for what reason I dont know but its obvious from listening to him talk, the guy is just a right wing nut now or hes just out for himself, is all I can figure. Hes A black man who is now touting all of trumps crazy activities as being okay and for what reason is beyond me. What I dont get for black people that are in the Republican party is dont they realise that the Republicans would have them shining all their shoes and walking 10 paces behind. Thats what the Republican party thinks of minorities, including women.
When Trump says make America great again what he really means is lets go back to the 50s where white men led the parade with women walking 10 paces behind and cleanIng the house and took care of other needs that the man may want and of course black people should be back right where they were before Lincoln freed them. Thats what they still believe in their heart of hearts.
