Donald Trump says African-American youths 'have no spirit'

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/donald-trump-says-africanamerican-youths-have-no-spirit-10342030.html

On the same day that a New Hampshire poll put Donald Trump second in the race to be the Republican Party's nominee for president in 2016, the New York mogul said that African-American youths had "no spirit" and blamed Barack Obama for dividing the country.

Mr Trump was talking at the annual dinner of the Maryland GOP on 23 June, which state officials said would draw in over $100,000 for the party in the Northeastern state.

Talking with reporters, he spoke briefly about race relations in the country following the shooting in Charleston, South Carolina last week and after President Obama discussed the matter with Marc Maron, with the country's first black president using the "N-word".

Mr Trump said that African-American youth had reached "a point where they've just about never done more poorly, there's no spirit, there’s killings on an hourly basis virtually in places like Baltimore and Chicago and many other places.

Be prepared as well for Republican big shots to tell us how they're all not racist and stuff, but for some reason, T Rump just keeps getting more and more popular with Republican voters when all he does is spout bigotry and prejudice.

It's 20-frickin'-15, fer crissakes. I can't believe we're going to have to go through this bullshit one more time.

I would not be surprised if we saw civil unrest. I do not believe for a second the dude has a prayer but its an interesting thought experiment. What exactly would a Trump presidency look like from the moment the numbers came in to inauguration day and beyond
