President Trump on Friday made a direct appeal to Black voters with a slew of targeted policy pledges if he's reelected in November, including making Juneteenth a federal holiday and prosecuting the Ku Klux Klan as a terrorist organization.

Trump, speaking to supporters in Atlanta, unveiled what he dubbed the “Platinum Plan” for Black voters, outlining what a second term policy agenda could look like for African Americans. The plan leans heavily on economic proposals, such as tax cuts for minority-owned businesses, further focus on opportunity zones that encourage investment in low-income areas and additional money for broadband and internet access to foster job and educational opportunities.

Certain proposals, such as making Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of slavery, a federal holiday would require congressional approval.


The campaign event, hosted by Black Voters for Trump, featured several prominent Black public figures, including Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson and Heisman Award winner Herschel Walker.

Campaign promises are novel to you?

Dudes gotta get reelected, unless you think Harris/Biden won’t give away the farm and additional rights we are trying to hold onto.

😎

This is how democratic election system works, ie different promises to different voter groups.
If he wins the only thing he needs to worry about is his legacy. Helping descendants of slaves to become successful is a wonderful legacy to have.

Reckon he will declare Black Lives Matter as a terrorist organization?

Not just yet... he will start with the KKK as low hanging fruit...

But after the next round of riots when Derek Chauvin is acquitted... YEPP.

Seems racist.


P

Good for Trump.

I don't have a problem with any of that. Yeah, Juneteenth is a stretch, but it's gonna take a push to get Blacks off the Dem plantation. The Emancipator in Chief, is making strides with Blacks.
If it gets him re-elected it's a win.

Has anyone belonged to the Klan for 150 years?

None of them around here work on Juneteenth anyways. 🤠

There's many, many Caucasian Trump voters out there today that are out of work because of the COVID crap.

When is their half a trillion dollars going to arrive?

Pandering to blacks to the tune of a half trillion dollars while they're out rioting in the streets is a stupid, stupid campaign strategy.

Whoever recommended it is a closet Biden supporter.

What's with this KKK chit. The KKK is a few tiny groups that make noise. They try to make them sound like they are riding like they did after the civil war.

Wonder if that’ll stick around when the minority/majority statistics change...?

Brazil north.

Meh.
Today gave potus more cannon fodder when Joe starts the racist bullsh!t next week. Trump's dotted that 'i' and he'll be the better for it with Blacks.
Things are at a tipping point with Blacks and the Dem party, hopefully this will inspire more defection.

He declared Antifa a terrorist organization too.

He can't do that until he prosecutes Soros and all his hate America front groups and documents how all this garbage is being financed. Guarantee BLM is right in there in the web.

Or getting assassinated.

Republican candidates can pander to blacks in every way imaginable and they won't increase the black GOP vote by .05%.

On the other hand, Republican candidates can cause a lot more than .05% of their base to lose interest in voting if they spend a lot of time flagrantly pandering to blacks.

Especially these days.

It's a numbers game for Republican candidates.

The numbers don't favor pandering to the black vote.

Maybe Methusela. Slow learner.

Hell yeah.....

Indded. Innumeracy and self delusion abounds in those who think otherwise.

Also, the anriterror laws and rules would be applied almost exclusively to white advocacy groups adter adl and splc are brought in board to advise.

Sounds like a good plan. Instead of a handout, he’s offering a hand up.

He’s not promising them money to sit on their asses. He’s offering them a plan to start their own businesses and bring prosperity to their communities. Who could argue with that?

Here in Georgia we have a few million African Americans we could ship up to you, so you could have a try at getting them to work they are currently trained to riot & loot. Then you could have a African Canadian colony.

If blacks get off the dem plantation, the dems are done, forever. There are more hopeful signs of this than I have ever seen. Diamond and Silk, baby. ;-{>8

Blacks have been getting a "hand up" in America for a half century.

It doesn't work.

You have got to realize that this drives the Biden campain CRAZY.

The Dems have said, many times that their key to victory is the black vote.
Now with Trump siphioning off some of the black vote, Joe's handelers are banging their heads against brick walls.

It's the handouts that have entrapped blacks in the never-ending cycle of less that satisfying existence. A true handup should work, but configuring such a thing without the kind of social reform excluding the acceptance of fatherless babies and broken homes would be doomed to fail...and difficult to conjure in the first place. I have little or no idea how to make that happen, but maybe someone DOES know and Trump may be the man. We might see.

On the political level, think about the move he has just made. If Congressional approval is required to implement parts of it, then the onus in on the dhimmicrats.

Somewhere I read that designating Antifa as a terrorist group was a part of the proposal. I'd cash in the KKK for Antifa any day.

The "hand up" has been there for any black willing to take it for a long, long time.

Everything you're suggesting has been tried over and over.

Doesn't work. All it's done is place lesser qualified blacks in jobs and colleges in the place of better qualified whites.

You can't strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

America could have done something significant with all the time, energy, and money that its pissed away on blacks.

I love Juneteenth.

The hand up called affirmative action has placed blacks in key positions with civil service, military, post office, and any other jobs that hire minorities, women, blacks first..regardless of qualification.

These minorities are doing the hiring now. Chickens have come home to roost.

What about 5 mayo?

Septemberteenth.

The only thing that will change black lives in America is a change in the education system, black schools are a disgrace, and the lack of an education is holding all so many back, charter schools, smaller class rooms and an plan to learn or get removed, proceed or leave, no more of all day babysitting.

Black schools are a disgrace because blacks make them that way.

Why do you think that fixing blacks should be the white man's burden?

If Blacks were capable and willing to do what you want to be done to "fix" them, they would do it themselves.

They aren't, they don't.

Clan is democrats hang them all.

What's been happening is not what I'd call a "hand up." School vouchers might be a hand up. Affirmative action is nothing but a chain to a stake on the plantation that cost us all more. A strategy that destroys the influence of the Jacksons and the Sharptons of the world---and the credibility they somehow maintain among urban blacks, is key, IMO.

That's right the blacks, have messed them up, but there are good teachers , black and white , we need good schools with code of disaplean, you at up and you are out, back to getto high, that could make a difference if we would end the outside influences, not all black people want their kids to be ignorant drug dealers or street whores, its those parents and their kids that we can help, help them and they will in turn help themselves .

And your right it is not all the white mans burden its Americas, only the educated pay taxes !

I'm ok with encouraging development in black communities, tax breaks or low interest loans, whatever

I mean, they'll burn it down again in 15 years but its the circle of life I guess.

In Rio the shopkeepers hire off duty police to kill juvenile delinquents thieves and street gangs.

Trump can declare a pile of schitt to be a hot fudge sundae, but that won't make it so. There are no federal laws currently in existence that allow for domestic organizations to be considered "terrorist groups". It would go against the Bill of Rights. Think about Bill Ayers.

The reason that heavily much less predominantly black schools suck is the direct result of the parents. Good parents take an active role in what there kids are learning, setting expectations for grades and getting homework done on time, have curfews for there kids, have a good idea who there hanging out with ect. Good parents generally have there own sh1t more or less together and live in communities with other people that do.
The schools are “good schools” because the kids come from mostly decent good families. Parents that raise there kids in Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore ect and send there kids to those public schools. Are generally some of the dumbest, most fugged up, substance abuse attics in the country. That’s why they live in those violent, drug infested, filthy ghettos. With parents or a single mom of several and baby daddies in prison combined with a low IQ no amount of money being dumped into the school is going to fix it.
If the schools set the same level of student behavior and academic standards for those schools as a typical suburban one they’d not have any students left.

Genetics and biology laugh at all your bleatings about schooling, hands up, and such nonsense.

Take your argument to Clarence Thomas, Allen West, and Ben Carson for starters. I doubt you'd stack up intellectually.

Outliers, of course.

I may lose frie3nds over this, bit I do not give a shit. I stand behind my convictions: if you judge people for the color of their skin, then I count the content of YOUR character lacking.

So, you can, or you cannot judge intellect or value as a human being based on skin color? How many POS white people do you know? Niqqers come in all shades.

If Jews weren't steering our civilization into the ground with Marxist horseshit, the poor and stupid of any race wouldn't be breeding so much. Back when we had values, single-parent households were seen as a tragedy at best, and pathetic, irresoponsible decision-making at worst. Now it's hard to tell which group is smarter. But think about it: which group invented science, had an Enlightenment, saw the value in humanity, invented the concept of environmentalism, established systems of equality under law, and basic rights? And which group is still enslaving its fellows, and still can't build a 2-story building, and resorts to gangland-style violence on mass whenever someone finds some weapons?

Sure, each group has its outliers. That doesn't mean that the average doesn't have validity.

so who gave US the hand up, hmm? who gave US these charter schools, help at jobs and positions,etc ? why is anything on US to help them? They've been free for a 160 effing years, man. To this day, how many of them went to the mining towns, or homesteaded? Most of them are scared to leave their ghettos. Without their homies, they are NOTHING. Did any of the freed blacks do the Kit carson, danl boone, John coulter thing? Why not, hmm?

"[/quote] So, you can, or you cannot judge intellect or value as a human being based on skin color? How many POS white people do you know? Niqqers come in all shades.[/quote]" -------- All these posts have truth in them. Blacks as a race are lower IQ than other races with the exception maybe of Australian Abs. There are exceptionally brilliant high IQ even genius Blacks. So people should be judged (and rewarded) individually. And there are certainly a good number of stupid POS Caucasians. Where is the argument?

You entirely fucked up your quote, Hastings, but I have to believe in the merit of the individual. I have known plenty of white people I would not let walk my dog, and a handful (admittedly not known that many) of blacks I'd have trusted to guard my little sister---brother-in-arms...I know waaaaaaaay more white guys I would have kept away from my baby sister. Scum is scum, skin color varies.

I was Job transferred to Mississippi in 1976, and found an invitation to a KKK meeting under my windshield wiper. Had zero interest in it.

If you suque that blaque coque harder, i am sure they will love you afterwards, conservatard, and vouch that you are not a racist.

You are a joke, the worthless conservative who thinks that NAXALT is a policy prescription. Heres a clue: those three are the pinnacle of what derbyshire described as iintelligent well socialized blacks. They are rare as hens teeth and were they white no one would have heard of them or made them keynote speaker at every loser conservative conference on the conservative grifter circuit.

We're stuck with the nation we've got. We have to make it work and the little genocidal fantasies you spin while you rub you're naughty place ain't making it. Grow the fuuccc up.

That you think poorly of me is a badge of honor. Thank you.
