    Leaked Script Shows What Advisers Want Donald Trump to Say at Black Church

    Well, this is interesting...and no I won't be watching.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/02/us...kson.html?_r=0

    The document includes the exact wording of answers the aides are proposing for Mr. Trump to give to questions about police killings, racial tension and the perception among many black voters that he and the Republican Party are racist, among other topics.

    The official said the answers could change based on feedback from the black Republicans they are consulting with.

    After this article was published online Thursday night, Jason Miller, the senior communications adviser for the Trump campaign, said that Mr. Trump's plans had changed and that he would address the congregation for five to 10 minutes after the interview. Mr. Trump will then visit neighborhoods with Ben Carson, a onetime campaign rival, who supports Mr. Trump and grew up in Detroit.

    "If you know anything about Mr. Trump, it's that he will want the opportunity to take his vision and message of opportunity directly to the people on Saturday," Mr. Miller said.

    It is not uncommon for a candidate to request interview questions in advance; aides to Hillary Clinton do it from time to time. But it is unusual for a campaign to go so far as to prepare a script for a candidate's own responses, and highlights the sensitivity of Mr. Trump's first appearance at a black church. A series of slights, including his questioning of President Obama's birth certificate, has not endeared him to black voters.

    This is just a question. What reason do black voters have for thinking that the Republican party as such is racist ?

    mostly propaganda from the dumcrates over the years. considering what the dumocrats have done to the minorities over the span of 100 years you'd think many would wise up. Alot of what is going on now was because of Landon Johnsons policies from the 60's called the great society policies which decimated the nuclear black family to what it is today. I call it "big government slavery...

    The Dems don't really care about blacks. They care what the blacks can do for them which is get them elected. Dems are for abortion, and abortion is basically a black genocide. Many other things.

    What do you think of the following ?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy

    The perception that the Republican Party had served as the "vehicle of white supremacy in the South," particularly during theGoldwater campaign*and the presidential elections of 1968 and 1972, has made it difficult for the Republican Party to win the support of black voters in the South in later years.[4]*In 2005,*Republican National Committee*chairman*Ken Mehlmanformally apologized to the*National Association for the Advancement of Colored People*(NAACP), a national civil rights organization, for exploiting racial polarization to win elections and ignoring the black vote.[13][14]

    I see it as very cynical tool to win elections. The Republicans were using southern bigots very much like Democrats are using African Americans. It denotes a lack of trust in the electorate to be anything other than a Vote. Do you think either side REALLY cares about their constituents? The best we can do is vote for the candidate who has shown us their interests at least align with ours without deluding ourselves to think they really care.
