Trump is trying HARD to reach out to the black community, this may be part of that effort.
“It took me a long time, and a number of people talking to me through the years to get a sense of this. If you are a normal, white American, the truth is you don’t understand being black in America and you instinctively under-estimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk.”
“. If you are a normal, white American, the truth is you don’t understand being black in America and you instinctively under-estimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk.””
To the contrary, normal white Americans understand what being black is better than blacks because we aren’t jaded nor have been brainwashed to accept that blacks are oppressed by whites. They don’t understand what it is like to have a job given to someone else, not because of skill set, but because of pigment. They don’t understand the promises given them election after election which amounts to nothing. They don’t understand how they are used and abused by the hand that purports to feed them.
They see the world as what is owed them because of their skin color. We actually know what it means. But what they really do not understand is on any given weekend in Chicago, that’s the norm and not the exception.
When I look at blacks I see Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Alan West, Hermann Cain. I see what anyone, regardless of skin color is capable of. They see Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson Corrine Brown and the CBC, race baiters who make their living off of the backs of self oppressed blacks.
Refusing to open their eyes to what is going on around them isn’t my problem, nor should I be blamed for their problems. It will only be the day they take the Reverend Wrights of the world and string them up will they shed their stigma of being oppressed by whitey.
“Trump is trying HARD to reach out to the black community, this may be part of that effort.”
Yes.
I agree - everything Newt said is fine.
and it is an important effort
this is the way to get folks to pay attention to the real issues
