Democrats need 90% black turnout and 90% black support in order to win elections on a national scale. Anything that erodes either number is a mortal threat. And they must be sensing softness, if not outright desertion in the face of three factors:
1. Blacks have done far better under Trump than Obama in terms of rising employment opportunities and rising wages. The growth in manufacturing employment in particular has pushed up wages in the segments of the labor market with heavy black participation. Very few people of any color prefer life on food stamps and unemployment insurance to gainful employment at rising wages.
2. The enthusiastic support of Kanye West, slated to visit the White House along with football icon ”Big Jim” Brown (as President Trump affectionately calls him), powerfully diminishes the ability of Democrats to call on ethnic solidarity to spike turnout and support.
3. The Democrats’ embrace of political correctness is very unattractive to black voters. Steven Hayward of Powerline cites a startling study revealing the depth of repugnance felt by blacks and Hispanics toward PC:
Asians (82 percent), Hispanics (87 percent), and American Indians (88 percent) who are most likely to oppose political correctness. . .
Three quarters of African Americans oppose political correctness.
So acute is this fear of desertion that members of a CNN panel resorted to the other N-Word (Negro) to insult Kanye West. Victor Morton reports in the Washington Times:

The party of slavery is still racist.
What’s up with this. I haven’t heard the term “Negro” in many years. Are they reviving it?
An ever widening crack in the walls of the Dem plantation.
“The Democrats haven’t been this angry since Lincoln freed their slaves”
RE: I haven’t heard the term “Negro” in many years. Are they reviving it?
You’re allowed to use the term.... if you yourself are black.
They are monkeying things up with that comment.
“Blacks have done far better under Trump than Obama in terms of rising employment opportunities and rising wages.”
A bit hyperbolic. No group turns out 90%. Ever.
...because color is everything.
I’ll go out on a limb here and say, Trumps support among Black Americans isn’t 36%, but closer to 50%! I always add 10-15% approval to whatever Fake News says!
Democrats still using blacks as a pawn thinking they are to dumb to think for them self,what party had a KKK member as a senator what party did Jim Crow belong to............................
I won't be GREEDY! =P
Calling a black man “negro” is like calling a white man “caucasian”.
Whenever I comment on CNN youtube videos and I want to call out the person I’m talking about (usually don lemon), I’ll say something like, “the negro on the left...” to troll the leftists. I then say what I said above. I’m not offended by caucasian. Why should they be offended by negro?
I remember the hilarious newscaster gaff back when some negro was shooting someone in Paris, France and one reporter said he was “African american” and the other reporter pointed out that he was french. :-D
The President has shown the fallacy of “the black community”
The “black community” is a political construct determined to present and sustain a concept of homogenity where none actually exists. There is no truly black homogeneous culture. Rather, there are several, perhaps many, black subcultures that have little or nothing in common except various shades of black skin
In asking the question “what do you have to lose?” the President is shattering the fallacious concept and permitting some with black skin to desert.
He has attracted support for his thoughts. He is winning
Democrats haven’t won a majority of the white vote since 1964 and they have remained competitive only by virtue of the monolithic black vote.
Kiss the Rat dreams of a Blue Wave good bye should the latter ever drop below 90%.
They need to stave that off at all costs.
The Democrat Party version of MAGA ...
