Someone should ask him this question at the meet up in Detroit this weekend.

Obeidallah: If Trump is serious about keeping blacks safe from gun violence, he should support gun control
Is Trump simply engaging in political posturing or does he sincerely wants to reduce gun violence?

"Dean Obeidallah, a former attorney, is the host of SiriusXM's radio's daily program "The Dean Obeidallah Show" and a columnist for The Daily Beast. Follow him @TheDeansreport. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his."

(CNN)Donald Trump recently began saying he's concerned with keeping African Americans safe from gun violence.


But it's hard to believe he's sincere given that Trump refuses to support the very prescription to do that: Gun safety laws. And unless he talks gun safety measures, it would appear the pundits are correct that Trump's true goal is not to help the black community but rather to persuade white voters uncomfortable with Trump's history of bigotry that he's not a racist.

Over the weekend we saw Trump continue to raise this topic. First, he tweeted after the cousin of NBA star Dwyane Wade was killed by a stray bullet while pushing a stroller down a Chicago street (and misspelled the player's name): "Dwayne Wade's cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!"

(..........................The NRA's opposition to any reasonable measure that could save lives from gun violence?




Nope. Instead Trump claimed that this gun violence was due to: "Failed Democratic policies -- the policies of Hillary Clinton."................




If he does care about people of color not being killed by gun violence, all he needs to do is follow this simple road map:

First," ...................



Second,.................

So will Trump make it clear that black lives matter more to him than the support of the NRA? We are awaiting his answer......................

1. I think most Trump supporters and many gunners who do not, are like George Zimmerman or Michael Dunn

when it comes to Black Lives Matter.
