Trump brought out a Group of Black Young Conservatives

[busterbrown]

into the Briefing Room..When he addressed the nation about the Capture of the Bomber. This Morning..

It was so weird to see a group of Blacks (Conservatives) Cheering Trump on..

It was also weird especially when the crowd broke into.. CNN SUCKS CHANT!

Trump Smiling proudly shouting out to them.."How many of you would like to be President One Day?"

The Response was all glee!

Wow! Something was very wrong about this.. I'm glad they were there, not happy about the manner in which he used them...

I'm sure many in our Black Community will react with dismay.

1. I keep thinking about Hitler and his youth propaganda camps. Hitlerjugend ... n/t

2. I noted that he didn't remind them what he thought of the first black President.

6. You never know what THEY think of President Obama

I have heard conservative friends and family members tear into our own ethnic group worse than any White racist could. Some conservative people of color are even crazier than the White ones.

3. When I first saw your headline, I read "bought" instead of "brought"

I wouldn't be surprised if both words were accurate.

10. I deleted that ...Too many mistakes..

But I get your point...Funny!

4. I have always been dismayed by people of color who are conservative.

I understand that conservatism is not monolithic. Some people are "free marketers" some are anti-choice. What gets me is that the ultimate goal of conservatism is to slow down any progress and change to society and in many cases, the conservative has a longing to return to a time when "life was better". When you talk to White conservatives they either can't or they don't want to say exactly when life was better for them because it is typically a time when women and minorities had fewer legal protections.

What to Black and Brown conservatives want to conserve? What time do they want to return to when life was better?

I also understand about internalized oppression and wanting to side with the dominant group, but man that is a delusional process.

5. Well,I guess he proved ANYONE can do it.

Trump Smiling proudly shouting out to them.."How many of you would like to be President One Day?"

[Caliman73]

7. Well, anyone can do it, as long as they have access to daddy's billions.

If Trump didn't come from money, he'd be in prison or at the bottom of the East River by now.

8. Oncet, whites only would NOT have allowed it!

Try imagine a cohort of african Americans publicly cheering Reagan and that nasty clique o' racists, Cheney Rumsmell WATTS! OLLIE North etc 30/40 years ago! ...maybe society has moved ahead- Kanye's a rapper ferchrissakes!

11. Was Van Jones in the crowd??!

[busterbrown]

12. What are you trying to Say..

That Van jones is a secrete Trump Supporter? I agree that he comes on too soft.. But He's o.k...It's his style

[miss-nasty]

13. I used to like his style, when soft was okay.

But in my opinion he upholds the MAGAt's far too often. I don't see this administration being "soft" with people of color. At one time he was one of my favorite journalists but as time has passed I turn the channel when he comes on. As far as I'm concerned he's a real disappointment.

14. Ben Carson got them there. Him coming out after the chant to "brief" the nation

is quite obscene.
