Turning Point USA's plan to "red pill" black America for Trump should concern Democrats. Here's why.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump joined Kanye West in tweeting his support for Candace Owens, the black liberal-turned-conservative who serves as communications director for Turning Point USA.

Turning Point is the pro-Trump nonprofit organization that brings controversial right-wing speakers like Ann Coulter and Milo Yiannopoulos to college campuses. In March, Turning Point’s founder, Charlie Kirk, interviewed Trump at the White House during a Generation Next forum where conservative millennials and administration leaders talked about policy and how it affects their lives.

It’s clear political strategies centering on black America are being brainstormed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and TPUSA is playing a major role in the process. Kanye West’s cozying up to Owens and Kirk, and expressing his love for Trump, certainly hasn’t hurt. On April 29, Kirk and Owens met with West at his Calabasas, California, compound. Shortly after, Trump credited the rapper for an erroneous approval-ratings boost among black male voters.

In the past, Trump’s been accused of using famous black people like Steve Harvey, Jim Brown and Ray Lewis to disingenuously get support from black voters.....

The Democrats have done nothing and can offer nothing.

The GOP has never really tried to attract black voters. Trump is going to perform a miracle just by making the effort. That’s his whole modus operandi.

So does this "red pilling" involve pizza-gate and spirit cooking and Satanic rituals and gangs of elite politicians?

I'm thinking that kind of trash won't work.

I think a lot of Blacks realize the Democrats have delivered very little if anything to them. As Trump said last time “what have you got to lose”? The answer is not much.

I think the Rats full embrace of the Gays, Trannies and illegals makes them vulnerable with Blacks especially males. Black women are a total lost cause at least with Trump.

“...Trump...using famous black people....disingenuously...”

Right - President Trump forming relationships with conservative or at least open minded back leaders is “disingenuous” while Hillary’s blatant use of JayZ, Beyonce, Al Sharpton, etc. to try to get people to attend her feeble rallies was just fine.

Hypocrisy alert.

I am part of a pro life witness at an abortion facility every week. We have a sign to honk if you agree with us- most of the ethnic men will honk, smile, or otherwise indicate their agreement with the pro life position.

It is the women who are angry - all races. I think “angry white men” is a myth - trust me it is the women who are angry and bitter and for baby killing.

This is hilarious.

Obama concentrated on importing illegals to eventually boost the Dem electorate.

Trump is concentrating on bringing AMERICANS into the Conservative movement.

Turning Point is pretty down the line regular libertarian conservative stuff. It’s not about any of that as far as I can see.

Actually, ladies of Democrat Slave Extraction have been among the first to look at the world through a clear lens. So I wouldn't give up hope just yet. "Red Pill" as a symbol of this awakening is sheer genius. Take the pill and see how your masters use you.

...controversial right-wing speakers...

There are no 'conservative' speakers. There are only two types of speakers:

1)"Controversial right-wing speakers"
2)"Beloved, intellectual, rational, urbane, sophisticated, tolerant, diverse and LGBTQRXYZ supportive speakers",

IF you believe the MSM.

Red pills make you right-wing
And blue pills make you left
And the ones that RINOs give you
Don’t do anything at all.

Wasn’t it Mad Maxine Waters, who said at a DC abortion rally something like, “I must march for abortion, because my mother couldn’t have one” ?

Doesn’t rhyme. Change “left” to “fall”.

I’ll have to think about it. Hate to lose the “left.” Maybe change the “all” instead.

I think a lot of that hate comes from them of having an abortion and not wanting to face the reality of what really happened.
