Because President Trump is
an Alt-Right, White-Supremacist, Nationalist Racist who wants to bring black
slavery back in America, he dispatched a tweet proudly declaring record support
among black voters.
“New Fox Poll shows a ‘40% Approval Rating by African
Americans for President Trump, a record
for Republicans.’ Thank you, a great honor!”
See, the thing you don’t understand about Alt-Right,
White Supremacist, Nationalist Racists is that while their entire mission is to
bring back black slavery, they also really want to be popular among black
voters.
Such disgusting white privilege!
Of course the Great White Media immediately pounced on
the proclamation and declared Mr. Trump’s
tweet a lie.
Mr. Trump “invented”
the poll, blared one internet rag.
“It’s 100% false,” declared another white person billing
himself as a journalist. “Is Trump simply
lying or is he so unhinged that he thinks its true?”
Actually, it turns out to be 100 percent true that such a
poll was conducted — by Rasmussen. The results of that poll were reported by a
columnist at FoxNews.com, which is where President Trump presumably
learned of it.
I am sorry, but who is unhinged here?
This is what the Great White
Media has morphed into in the age of Trump. They
simply refuse to focus on the substance of anything.
They don’t want to talk about the economy, America’s
disastrously broken immigration system or any of the other serious issues that
got Donald
Trump elected in the first place.
No, they just want to talk about Mr. Trump’s style.
The tiniest misstatement gets turned into a mountain of Fake News. Oftentimes,
there isn’t even a misstatement at the foot of that mountain. Just Fake News.
In this case, why did the Great White Media come so
unglued?
Because they are absolutely terrified that the Rasmussen
poll is actually correct. Or at least onto something. In fact, there are
numerous surveys that indicate Mr. Trump’s
popularity has improved significantly among black voters since he was elected.
In August, a professor named Michael Tesler wrote about
black voters for The Washington Post in a column bizarrely called “Monkey
Cage.” (I guess you are allowed to do this sort of thing if you call yourself a
race expert.)
Professor Tesler dismissed an earlier Rasmussen poll
showing 36-percent support among black voters for Mr. Trump as an
“outlier.”
“Many critics have argued that Trump’s attacks
on the intelligence of such prominent African Americans as LeBron James, Don
Lemon, Maxine Waters, and Omarosa Manigault Newman were rooted in racism,” he
wrote. “Manigault Newman has also made headlines for claiming that Trump is a
racist who uses the n-word.”
Let’s set aside the stupidity of this claim. What matters
more to black voters? Goofball accusations from un-serious people or the lowest
black unemployment in history?
As an American voter, I can tell you what matters more to
me. And I know I am not alone.
And this is precisely why Democrats and the Great White
Media are so stricken with fear today. This is also why Democrats and the media
have cranked up their race-baiting to the highest level ever.
Mr. Trump’s
policies are actually working to make life better for all Americans, including
black voters. And Hispanic voters and Christians and Jews and Muslims and all
the other categories Democrats like to divide Americans into.
If Mr. Trump can
break down those false barriers and allow all voters to vote as Americans
rather than the racial groups politicians put us all into then America will,
indeed, be greater for it.
