President Barack Obama delivered an impassioned plea to the African-American community Saturday night to help stop Donald Trump, saying he would consider it a “personal insult” to his legacy if black voters didn’t turn out for Hillary Clinton.

Addressing the Congressional Black Caucus gala for the last time as president, Obama warned that while his name would not be on the ballot in November, all of the progress that the country has made over the last eight years was on the line. […]

“You may have heard Hillary’s opponent in this election say that there’s never been a worse time to be a black person. I mean, he missed that whole civics lesson about slavery or Jim Crow,” Obama said. “But we’ve got a museum for him to visit, so he can tune in. We will educate him.” …

If African Americans are so much better off with Democrats in charge then why are their schools so bad.

Yet another reason to vote Trump, to insult the Muslim idiot.

Obama, right now your legacy is that you did nothing for African Americans. Their lives are worse since you took office and more are dying than before. You increased the racial divide. Good job, loser.

“You may have heard Hillary’s opponent in this election say that there’s never been a worse time to be a black person. I mean, he missed that whole civics lesson about slavery or Jim Crow,”

I don’t know what it will take to awaken blacks to the realization that it’s the very people Buckwheat is pushing for their votes that are the SAME party who initiated and maintained both slavery and Jim Crow. When will they understand that Obama and all Democrats are NOT their friends?

To: right way right

Many silent majority voters like me will vote Trump too. I think quite a lot of voters who do not want co-workers, family or even spouses to know they are voting Trump will do so in the privacy of the voting booth. My husband believes I am joking when I say I am voting for Trump. We try to steer away from politics ; )
