Trump's Pitch to Black Americans Called Flawed [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 21 Aug 2016 | John Semmens

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's bid for Black votes was labeled "flawed" by his critics. In a speech in Wisconsin this week Trump maintained that Democratic policies have worsened the plight of minorities. This view was assailed by Democrats and their media supporters.

"Trump's contention that minorities are the foremost victims of the breakdown in law and order doesn't excuse his failure to reach out to the Black Lives Matter group," contended CNN talking head Carol Costello. "By refusing to bring BLM inside the tent he leaves them no option but to burn down neighborhoods, beat white folks, and agitate against police repression. This man's election would undo all that President Obama has done to empower the minority community. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has made BLM's interests a guiding light for her future policies toward the minority community."

"Trump's notion that he can win a significant share of the minority vote is absurd," Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton declared. "Democrats are the champions of all the government programs that have sustained the minority segment of our population for generations. Democrats have built public housing. Democrats have ensured that their access to abortion will be unconstrained. Democrats have put food on their tables. Democrats are the ones who take their grievances against the police seriously."

Steve Bannon, Chief Executive of Trump's presidential campaign, defended his man by assailing "the 'plantation mentality' of the Democrat's claim that they own the minority vote. The welfare programs they boast of creating have destroyed the minority community in our inner cities. By subsidizing unwed motherhood the Democrats have undermined minority families. Democrats' unstinting support for abortion has ensured that more Blacks die from this than die from America's leading killer—heart disease. Democrats' job-destroying economic policies have left fewer opportunities for minorities to earn an honest living. Democrat-created public housing ghettos have become high-crime neighborhoods that terrorize and claim the lives of too many in the minority community."

"Donald Trump wants to get past the Democrats' propaganda and bring real solutions to the suffering that has gone on too long," Bannon continued. "This means bypassing the Democrats' pandering to radical hate groups like Black Lives Matter. He doesn't deny that wrongful police shootings have occurred, but riots targeting innocent bystanders solve nothing. He offers policies that make a self-sustaining life a more realistic possibility for all Americans. He offers support for the law enforcement that defends the rights of all to peacefully pursue happiness. He thinks that a government that respects all persons is the 'hand-up' that will improve lives more effectively than the 'hand-outs' that have been the core Democrat policy."

In related news, Democratic vice-presidential candidate Sen. Tim Kaine told a group of Black Baptists in New Orleans that "the 400 years of repression of Blacks in this country must be balanced by a period of repression of whites if we are to achieve true equity between the races."

MSM: "Trump, speaking to an almost all-white audience, made a pitch to minority voters." That's not satire, that's the news at the top of the hour.

“By refusing to bring BLM inside the tent he leaves them no option but to burn down neighborhoods, beat white folks, and agitate against police repression.”

Umm, it’s one thing to burn down one’s own neighborhood and such, foul ones own nest so to speak. But, if BLM should expand this conduct into middle class suburbs they might be in for a big surprise. Just saying....

That sort of "Faculty Lounge" logic is what has gotten us to where we are today. Time to throw the bought and paid for by Soros bass turds out!

Is Costello asking for a civil war? It has been revealed in hacked documents that Soros is paying BLM leader to cause a breakdown in civil society.

And, BLM does not represent all blacks, just a small minority. At the end of the day, they are outgunned.

Yes, there hasn’t been this much rioting, looting, burning, and destruction since the 1960’s.
That’s a legacy for sure.

Sad it is so hard to tell journalists that write satire from the MSM.
