Do u believe that Donald Trump cares about Blacks?

Or is he trying too hard to impress the Black community with rhetoric. Or sensational promises. He has Black friends. But they are celebrities. So he just likes their money right. The wealthy Afro Americans. And not middle class blacks. What do you think. 🙂

Normally, I would've said otherwise but I happen to be African American, and I've met Trump in person, so I disagree. This was before he ran for President I was 15 and went to a restaurant, and Trump happened to be there. In person he's not a bad guy. Then again not to mention social class, but my parents make much more money than people in the area I live in do, so... yea. But, he wouldn't have known that. To also be totally honest, being that I live in NY, I also know that I highly doubt that he's racist. Don't get me wrong, he has made some comments, but it's really hard to be racist in NY. Especially NYC it's a melting pot of different cultures. And by the way for everyone that doesn't know, every president has made travel bans on different countries, and ethnic groups. Like for instance Obama made travel bans on Haitians, Syrians, and Iranians. Bush has made travel bans on different African nations. And Clinton also blocked Haitians, and people from Sierra Leon. I don't necessarily support all of Trump's moves however, I don't see why everyone is making about big fuss over things that other presidents have done before too. He's not doing this to be racist, otherwise Obama, Clinton, ans Bush should also be called racist.

Thanks for a 1st hand perspective. Very interesting.

I don't think Trump is particularly racist, simply ignorant of information, and that can be fixed. The problem I have with him is that his personality extend far beyond issues of racism; he's a narcissist and as such, everyone is beneath him. He will use them if they're useful and discard them when he's done. It's why he'll say anything necessary to fit the crowd or context.
