Question for African American DU members

[DemocratSinceBirth]

How insulting is it that Donald Trump said palling around with Kayne will help his party in the mid terms ?



Thank you in advance for your responses.

1. Frankly,...

...because of the backlash Kanye has gotten from this, I am quite content with Trump's words.
Trump's comments were to show faux unity for his white, bigoted base as he is being advised by Stephen Miller and Bannon. Trump does not care about the Black vote.

Though Kanye's music has certainly declined in the most recent projects, his older stuff is wonderful. His relevance to most voting Black people is taken more seriously by non-Black people, though.

In some polls, Trump's approval among Black people is as low as 4%. His remarks about Kanye helping with the Black vote probably hurt Trump more than it helped him.

2. I owned the CD with Gold Digger on it. It could have been about Trump's three wives.

Trump and his followers really believe African American men lack agency and can be easily be seduced by bling.
