Team Trump’s “New deal” for African-Americans

He’s not offering a two-for-one sale. At least not yet. But try to guess where Trump sent his proposed policy to improve the lives of African-Americans:

A. The NAACP.

B. Ebony.

C. Mediatakeout.com ‘The most visited urban website in the world.’

D. The Congressional Black Caucus.

E. President Barack Obama.

F. The National Museum of African American History & Culture.

Of course they did.

To give you an idea of what someone on Trump’s team looked at and thought This certainly seems like a legitimate way to communicate with African-Americans, this is right below the banner on MTO’s home page.

We Got The ‘SEXUAL ASSAULT’ Pic . . . Of The Old Guy Feeling Up Taylor Swift . . . And EWWWW . . . It Looks CRAZY!!! (He Grabbed Her By Th P***Y)

That probably wasn’t up when they sent their PLN. Perhaps it was another serious and sober piece of analysis such as

Janet Jackson’s CRACKHEAD Ex-Husband Was On GROWING UP HIP HOP Last Night . . . Spilling Tea About Their SECRET BABY!! (Woo Hoo This Is JUICY)

(Is it ‘dishing’ or ‘dissing’?
Who cares? Look: “Janet Jackson,” “crackhead,” “tea” it’s gotta be something they all read.)

As for the plan itself, it will look familiar.

“In election after election, Democratic party leaders take African-American voters for granted and year after year the condition of Black America gets worse,” the plan reads. “The conditions in our inner cities today are unacceptable. Too many African-Americans have been left behind.”

Too many whites like to claim all African-Americans live in slums because it allows whites to treat African-Americans as inferior because they live in slums, and as an invasive species when they’re found living outside of their natural habitat.

It proposes to change the condition of black communities by promoting school choice, reduction of crime, business tax cuts, financial reforms, stopping “trade deficits,” ending illegal immigration, new infrastructure investment, protections for “the African American church” and an “America First” foreign policy.

I’m surprised anyone bothered to insert “African American” in front of “church,” even though I’m not usually surprised when Republicans make themselves sound dumber than they did a minute before.

One thing they didn’t leave out of their missive to the black was a very old dog whistle.

While much of Trump’s plan already exists as part of his general legislative agenda, it also includes policies specific to inner cities, where he would ramp up law enforcement and look to increase investments.

And not just any Let’s get our vicarious jollies from the knowledge more cops are stamping on those thugs’ heads dog whistle, Trump wants to make violating the 4th Amendment rights of minorities Stop & Frisk a national policy.

So, one could classify this as a standard empty political gesture. After all, if the Dick à l’Orange really wanted to make a show of good faith to African-Americans and other minorities he’d stand up in front of the cameras and tell his admiring goons to stop attacking and harassing people.

However, this isn’t an empty gesture, it’s a Fuck you and a muttered threat to African-Americans. As a bonus, it will allow Trump supporters and their pseudoliberal enablers to say See? He’s trying, and to become obnoxious because we don’t fall to our knees and thank him.
