Wow, where do these black Trump supporters come from? These joker are Crazy if they think Trump gives a damn about us. Have you ever heard of the Central Park 5, your president took out a full page ad on 5 little black boys that were innocent of ******* a female in Central Park. He wanted the dead Penalty for them. What about being sued more than one time for not renting to people that look like your black ass? WOW, WOW, WOW!
Just as you might be rightfully embarassed to share an association with LBJ and possibly hesistant to provide an answer to that
@Igotskillz27 there is no defence for Trump's actions at that time as a Black male. But there is growth in Trump's character though as he came to the defence of Blacks in his administration as he posthumously pardoned Jack Johnson on May 24th of 2018 as he was a famed Black boxer, convicted by an all-white jury in 1913 for traveling with his white girlfriend. It was then illegal to transport women across state lines for "immoral" purposes. And Trump pardoned Alice Marie Johnson on June 6th of 2018 as she is a Black woman who was a first-time, non-violent ******* offender. Johnson's sentence was commuted following a meeting between Trump and Kim Kardashian. Johnson had served more than 21 years in prison; Trump's commutation allowed her to be released from incarceration immediately.
And very recently have you heard that Trump is helping A$AP Rocky's wrongful conviction in Sweden? The article in The Guardian is very interesting as it says:
Trump says he is working to free rapper A$AP Rocky from Swedish custody

Donald Trump has said he is working to free
the American rapper A$AP Rocky, who has been held in police custody in Sweden for weeks.
“I will be calling the very talented Prime Minister of Sweden to see what we can do about helping A$AP Rocky,” Trump tweeted from aboard Air ******* One on Friday, and said he had just spoken with
Kanye West about Rocky’s situation.
“So many people would like to see this quickly resolved!” Trump said.
Rocky, a platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated artist whose real name is Rakim Mayers, has been in police custody since early July as Swedish police investigate his alleged involvement in a fight in Stockholm that occurred before his appearance at a music festival. Videos published on social media appear to show a person being violently thrown onto the ground by Rocky. A defense lawyer has said he acted in self-defense.
Congressman Adriano Espaillat, of New York, has been pushing for the rapper’s release and has been in contact with the state department and the US embassy in Sweden. Rocky is originally from the neighborhood of Harlem in New York City.
The case has earned the attention of a slew of celebrities, including Sean “Diddy” Combs, Justin Bieber, Jada Pinkett Smith, Nicki Minaj and Post Malone.
Kim Kardashian West encouraged Trump to take action to free Rocky. Kardashian West has previously worked with the Trump administration on criminal justice reform issues.
One senior administration official, speaking to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity to outline private conversations, said Kardashian West had reached out to Trump’s *******-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, whom she has worked with closely, to tell him about the situation on behalf of her husband, a supporter of the president.
Kushner then briefed Trump, according to the official, who said Trump felt the case was worth looking into and directed his secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, to see what could be done.
The state department said Friday that it was following the case but declined to provide details, citing privacy considerations. Providing assistance to US citizens detained abroad is one of the department’s most important functions, it said.
Kardashian West thanked Trump, Pompeo and Kushner via Twitter, along with “everyone involved with the efforts to Free ASAP Rocky & his two friends”.
“Your commitment to justice reform is so appreciated,” she wrote on Thursday.
Rocky’s lawyer, Slobodan Jovicic, told the Associated Press that his client was aware of the president’s comments and “is very thankful for everyone who has reached out to show their support”.
“It means a lot to him, but we are focused on the case that we have in front of us,” he added.
Trump did not mention Kardashian West or Kushner to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday and said it was his wife, Melania Trump, who had originally brought the case to his attention.
“She was telling me about, ‘Can you help A$AP Rocky?’” said Trump, who said he had also heard from others.
“Many, many members of the African American community have called me, friends of mine, and said, ‘Could you help?’ So I personally don’t know A$AP Rocky, but I can tell you that he has tremendous support from the African American community in this country,” he [Trump] said.
“We’ll be talking to them,” Trump said, referring to Swedish officials. “We’ve already started.”
“We’re working with the state department, and we hope to get him home soon,” added the first lady.
The Ohio pastor Darrell Scott, a longtime Trump supporter who is African American and has worked with the administration on urban justice issues, said he was among those who raised the issue with Trump last Friday night after Rocky’s management reached out for assistance.
“We know that this is a high priority for the president and the state department, at the instruction of the president,” said Kareem Lanier, the co-chair of the Urban Revitalization Coalition who credited the White House with ensuring Rocky was moved to better holding conditions.
Both Lanier and Scott rejected the idea that Trump was calling attention to the issue to distract from criticism of his attacks against four Democratic congresswomen of color, noting the administration had been working on the issue before the latest brouhaha.
They applauded Trump for shining attention on the issue.
“Any time President Trump gets involved in anything, it brings a level of attention” to an issue that cannot be matched by those who “don’t have that cache or reach”, Lanier said.
Stockholm’s district court decided on Friday that Rocky would remain in custody another week to allow police to complete their investigation. They have until 25 July.
Jovicic, Rocky’s attorney, said he felt the decision was “unjust”, but remained confident in his case.

If you noticed what I highlighted it shows that even if Trump was like the fictitious Archie Bunker hating Blacks during the incident with the Central Park 5 which obviously was outside the time frame of Archie Bunker ( I only cited Archie Bunker because much like Trump I see growth in Trump's character as well and that he was a famous fictitious character that we all know about as it was during the 1970's and most people have had a chance to know about the characters ), the examples that I cited illustrate a degree of growth where he is a champion for Blacks instead. Just as with Archie Bunker as well too if you ever watched the sequel to "All In The Family" called "Archie Bunker's Place" after Edith's death. In that forgotten series not only did he invite the now late Sammy Davis Jr to his bar ( Season 1, Episode 19 ) but he also punched out a racist insulting his Black housekeeper ( Season 2, Episode 9 ).
It is interesting that such a man that seems to hate Blacks like Trump appears to have so many friends that are Black? I saw Darrell Scott on TV once speaking about Trump and he said he was friends with Trump for years before he was ever president where initially he was skeptical but then they became good friends and if you are curious about who that Black man is look back to where I shared all those video links ( as I am getting criticism for reposting them such as from
@subhub174014 for slowing the webpage down or if you want me to specifically send that to you personally I will PM that to you if you are curious or you can click here to see it for yourself where Pastor Darrell Trump speaks (
https://www.blacktowhite.net/threads/go-trump.160047/page-38#post-2467752 ) ) and look for the Black man speaking for Trump during the RNC convention. I hope with the remainder of Trump's first term or perhaps after he is re-elected Trump can correct that mistake by pardoning the Central Park 5 now that he is president just as he did with Jack Johnson and Alice Marie Johnson?
