This, is absolutely appalling:
http://www.newsy.com/videos/obama-responds-to-trump-s-black-communities-comment/
When Trump said "Our African American communities are absolutely in the worst shape that they've ever been in before, ever, ever, ever," no one in their right mind should assume he's talking about slavery or to blacks who have been long dead. Our "African American communities" - the inner city ghettos - didn't exist in 1850. Yet Trump gets thumped with a "huge lie" sobriquet while Obama, who should have been called on why he thought Trump's "our African American communities" was a reference to plantations, is treated like a righteous honorable statesman.
I just wish one news outlet would have had the balls (and the integrity) to point out that these inner city African American communities are worse off since Obama took office. Black youth unemployment - up. Violent crime - up! Riots & lawlessness - spreading. Wealth inequality - up. Poverty rate - up. Economic opportunities - down. Racial divisions - up! Community resources and social services - down. Incarcerations - up.
How can such obvious deterioration in the African American community be ignored by ostensibly "news" outlets, while they are treating Obama's non sequitur as the utmost in profound wisdom.
