The southern Democrats were responsible for Jim Crow laws and opposition to itegration. Democrats now want to keep minorities on their plantaion and dependent on them.

There are quite a few blacks now who realize that the Democrats have been scamming them for half a century, that the Democrats are the real racists and that Trump is their best bet.
He will be getting a lot more black votes in 2020 than he did in 2016.
When he was running then, he told them "Take a chance, what've you got to lose?"
Since then, his policies have brought black unemployment to its lowest numbers in American history. Obama, meanwhile, their great black hope, like all Democrats did nothing for them.
But then, the Democratic Party is about nothing, anyway, except the economic, moral and social destruction of America and whatever personal gains they can make individually through their boundless corruption.
The fact that you support all that and are willing to lie on their behalf speaks loudly about your own character.
