There Could Be Another Way

On Sunday, an entire [black] Charlotte church will endorse Donald Trump.

Trump surrogates will attempt a media blitz, trying to engage black women, veterans, and leaders over the next several days, culminating in the church’s endorsement at Antioch Road to Glory International Ministries. “Supporting Hillary is like being with an abusive ex, one that you already know left you broken and wounded,” reads a post on the church’s Facebook page from last month. “At this point, give the new guy a chance.”

[...]

The candidate couldn’t face a bigger challenge than with black voters. He has a history of calling into question the first black president’s citizenship. He’s eschewed the traditional circuit of conferences hosted by black organizations (this week, his campaign turned down appearances at conferences for the National Urban League and National Association of Black and Hispanic Journalists; last month, they turned down an appearance at NAACP’s annual meeting in Cincinnati). Many black Republicans with ties to donors have been slow to endorse him. Many black Republicans are concerned about white supremacists that support Trump.

  Buzzfeed
Good lord. I know the Democratic Party is a user and abuser of black people, but really, Donald Trump? If black voters would go to a third party, this whole rotten deal would be a whole other game.
The event there — “A Day of Endorsement” — will feature a small group of high-profile Trump supporters: black outreach director Omarosa Manigault (an ordained minister); Trump national spokesperson Katrina Pierson; Trump surrogate Pastor Mark Burns, who spoke at July’s Republican convention; and Eric Trump Foundation VP Lynne Patton. Manigault will preach at the worship service, according to sources briefed on the event.
Katrina Pierson, who tweeted that Obama is the "head negro in charge"? What in the world?!? Political news reads like a camp satire these days. All Onion all the time.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
