Trump: African-Americans in ‘worst shape…ever ever ever’
Trump must have forgotten about slavery and separate drinking fountains.
Click here for reuse options!Trump made another eyebrow-raising comment in his efforts to speak to the African-American community Tuesday, telling a rally in North Carolina that blacks in the United States are in their worst shape “ever, ever, ever.”
“We’re going to rebuild our inner cities because our African-American communities are absolutely in the worst shape that they’ve ever been in before,” Trump told the crowd. “Ever, ever, ever.”
Trump’s comments came in a town named for a slaveowner’s family: Kenansville was founded in the early 1800s and the Kenan family, according to the town’s website, owned “20 to 50 slaves.” As he has done in other recent speeches, Trump compared inner city shootings to war-torn countries like Afghanistan.
“You take a look at the inner cities: You get no education. You get no jobs. You get shot walking down the street,” he said.
“They’re worse, I mean honestly, places like Afghanistan are safer than some of our inner cities.”
Trump continued: “And I say to the African-American communities, and I think it’s resonating, because you see what’s happening with my poll numbers with African-Americans. They’re going, like, high.”

Slaves were considered property, and they were property because they were black. Their status as property was enforced by violence — actual or threatened.

He didn’t see it, people didn’t tell him that slavery actually happened, and we all know that those are his only sources of information. Poorly digested information, at that.

Show how removed this JA is from most of us. I wish a reporter would ask him, “what kind of life are people from trailer parks living? Please state your views on white trash”. I am white and lived in trailer parks so I can say this BTW.
