http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/07/20/trump-busted-in-racist-slip-up-laziness-is-a-trait-in-blacks-i-believe-that/I think the guy is lazy. And its probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is. I Believe that. Its not anything they can control.
One of the biggest holes in the party apparatus that the Republicans want to take them to the White House is the hemorrhaging of minority support.
The African American communitys votes handed Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic nomination, and their support, along with that of other minority groups, is gearing up to hand Clinton the presidency in November.
Did the vulgar talking yam not once own a football team, presumably with a number of black players?!

(50,601 posts)The USFL was a football league formed in the early 1980s to play spring and summer football. You can read all about it on the Internets. Anyway, The Donald was one of the biggest movers in the league's attempt to become a fall football league...he wanted to merge with the NFL, and the NFL was having none of it. The USFL sued the NFL on antitrust grounds...and won...one dollar, which because it was an antitrust case was trebled. Yes, the NFL delivered to the USFL a check for three dollars. The guy who founded the USFL still has it.
If they would have left the USFL as a spring league I think MLS Soccer would have had a hard time gaining a foothold. But thanks to Mafia Don, they're long gone.

Last week, Morning Joe's Mika and Joe were talking about how they've known Donald for so many years and he's never, ever said anything remotely racist. I kept thinking, both of you are fucking white...how would you know what he says to or about non-white people when you're not around? Their willingness to believe that this man is "color-blind" is naive.
Here's yet another story:

Irish, Italian, Jewish, and many other minorities overcame prejudice and worked their way up. Black people should do the same without any special favors.
Its really a matter of some people not trying hard enough; if black people would only try harder they could be just as well-off as whites.
Over the past few years, black people have gotten less than they deserve.
Generations of slavery and discrimination have created conditions that make it difficult for black people to work their way out of the lower class.
When analyzing this survey data, we threw in a number of statistical controls for individual race, age, income, education, partisan identification, political ideology, level of political interest, church attendance, perceptions of economic performance, and opinions about free trade and whether government should provide fewer or more services. That was meant to isolate the extent to which respondents views on race affected their views on the election.
On just about every measure, support for Trump increased along with the measured racial animus.

(10,499 posts)The best way to combat racism has always been to increase opportunities for interaction so that both groups get to know and understand each other. Donald has grown up with great privilege so that his only exposure to minorities is when he is around low level staff which he probably barely acknowledges.
I would hope he gets to spend a lot of time with Willie Gary! Mr. Gary is black and happens to be one of the most talented, wealthy trial lawyers in the country. I hope that time is spent answering Mr. Gary's questions accross a conference table in deposition and in court on the witness stand!
