Trump Tells Black Reporter April Ryan To 'Set Up' Meeting With CBC For Him

Good.

Maybe, then, we can finally have a President that will address the black communities issues.

8 years of Obama got us completely fucked up. I'm sorry, but it's just a sight to see. We're all up in arms, because the President took interest in our communities. Meanwhile, Obama could barely admit that institutional racism existed, but we all love him.

I'm so fucking sick of this shit. Our politics are so dumb. We've effectively made the media its own political party and now they're just confusing us all.

Let me ask you this: what if, after this meeting with the CBC, he decided to implement policy to address the fact that black unemployment has been at least twice the national average since Jim Crow? Are we still anti-Trump? Do we just ignore things that could possibly benefit us?

I feel like we're letting the media use us as a bludgeon. Or maybe we're letting ourselves be used. Idk. All I know is a lot of our communities are in crisis. And if this guy really wants to do something about it, getting on him because of a mistake is honestly stupid and short-sighted.

And this is coming from someone that was anti-Trump since August...of 2015.
