Why Black Voters Should Pick Trump, Not Hillary

For decades Hillary Clinton has been a champion of abortion, or should I say the extermination of blacks. While we make up only 13 percent of the U.S. population, black women account for nearly 40 percent of all abortions. Black babies are aborted at nearly four times the rate of white babies.

The Democratic presidential frontrunner, who like the party she represents is feverishly campaigning for the black vote, is no friend to black Americans. In 2009, Clinton received Planned Parenthood’s “highest honor,” the Margaret Sanger Award “for her unwavering support of women’s health and rights throughout her public service career,” as the press release noted.

But Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was an avowed racist and eugenicist — who in 1921 founded the American Birth Control League, which in 1942 was renamed the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. More disturbingly, Sanger created the “Negro Project” specifically to decrease the black population by convincing black community leaders and pastors to encourage blacks use birth control or kill their babies.

And with the help of Democrats, Sanger continues to achieve her goals today. Since 1973, when abortion became legal, 13 million abortions have been performed on black women.

Hillary’s 2016 campaign is all about helping blacks continue to kill off their own race–literally! She pledges to stand by abortion and the Black Lives Matter movement, which does nothing but encourage blacks to risk their lives by threatening police officers.

Clinton also promises to go farther than President Barack Obama did on immigration and use executive orders if needed to grant a pathway to citizenship to illegals, which will further worsen black unemployment.

In a compelling article in the Washington Post about how Donald Trump could exploit the illegal immigration issue to win the black vote, Bruce Bartlett observed,

“There is little doubt that immigration depresses the employment and wages of black men. A 2010 study by the economists George Borjas, Jeffrey Grogger and Gordon Hanson found that a 10 percent immigration-induced increase in the labor supply reduced African Americans’ wages by 2.5 percent and the employment rate among blacks by 5.9 percentage points.

“Since the 1990s, academics have been studying the political and economic cleavage between blacks and Latinos. A 1997 study by sociologist Roger Waldinger found that employers in Los Angeles favored Latino over black workers, a situation reinforced by tense relations when the two groups worked side by side.”

Clearly, black lives don’t matter to Democrats — but black votes do.

The key to winning the black vote shouldn’t be empty rhetoric and promises to continue the failed policies of decades. It should be a message of job creation and prosperity. This is why black Americans should vote for GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. He is the only candidate working to make black lives matter by offering blacks black jobs.

As I point out in Con Job, “While Democrats are enthusiastically trying to take away American jobs from blacks and give them to illegals, Donald Trump wants to do the opposite. At an August 27, 2015, speech in Greenville, South Carolina, Trump vowed to win the black vote by creating jobs for blacks, especially black males who suffer from higher unemployment. He said he would bring back jobs that U.S. companies  had offshored to China, Japan and Mexico.

It might work. As Breitbart reported, “Jamelle Bouie, a reporter for the ultraliberal news outlet Slate, observed that Trump’s strategy of winning some of the black vote was the ‘easiest path for Republicans to take back the White House.’ As Bouie remarked on CNN, ‘I don’t think I’ve heard a Republican ever talk specifically about the African-American youth unemployment which is a legitimate problem and a legitimate issue.'”

Trump’s immigration plan would lower double-digit chronic black unemployment. “Today, nearly 40% of black teenagers are unemployed. Nearly 30% of Hispanic teenagers are unemployed. For black Americans without high school diplomas, the bottom has fallen out: more than 70% were employed in 1960, compared to less than 40% in 2000,” Trump notes.

To get blacks and all Americans working again, Trump would decrease the number of H-1B visas but increase the “prevailing” wage paid to immigrants on H-1B visas, forcing companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas.” This will increase jobs held by American black, Hispanic and female workers in high tech industry. In contrast, Republican presidential candidate Senator Marco Rubio introduced a bill to triple H-1Bs, which would kill jobs for women and minorities.

Trump’s inner city jobs program would feature a resume bank for inner city youth provided to all corporate subscribers to the J-1 visa program.” Retailers, fast food restaurants and summer resorts that depend upon teen workers would hire Americans instead of foreigners. Black teens, who are disproportionately unemployed compared to whites, would be able to turn to jobs rather than crime, and crime rates would come down in predominately black cities such as DC, Baltimore, and Ferguson.

Trump should host “Black Jobs Matter” rallies in states like Ohio and Virginia where the black vote was critical in helping Obama win reelection in 2012. What a great way for Trump to make his case to black voters while offering a stark contrast to Hillary’s pandering. Black votes matter to Hillary and her Democrat Klan — not making black lives better.
