This is hogwash.

Do you want to see the reality of what the inner cities of the USA have become?

Take a trip on AMTRAK from New York to Washington, DC.

The residential areas of Newark, Trenton, Camden, Philadelphia and Baltimore have all become urban jungles.

That isn't immediately seen by motorists on the interstate highways, but the view from the train gives you a look behind the façade that is truly horrendous.

Which raises, in my mind the question, what can and/or should be done to support an American culture within the cities, recognizing that the vast majority of citizens live in cities? The US stopped being an agriculturally based population decades ago. The answer certainly is not, "everybody for themselves".

Instead of people just seeing racism everywhere, try this video from a black American point of view.

Cummings is a good candidate for term limits (over 20 years)! He seems to have forgotten about his district neighborhoods .Exactly the message that I take from the POTUS tweets!

Yet, you get Drump supporters saying he is not a racist.

Actually, I don't believe Trump is a racist or a homophobe. Sexist? Yes, because it feeds his lustful appetite to consume everything around him for his own selfish pleasure and interest. Narcissistic, ill educated, buffoon? Yes. But remember that a racist at least has principles. Trump has no principles. He is an opportunist from the word go......  This vile man who believes in nothing other than his own pleasure and vanity is the second worst president in US history. It will be difficult, nonetheless, for him to displace idiot W. Bush from the top spot.

Cummings is moving in on Trump and his crimes, hence the attacks directed at him.

I thought blacks could not be 'racist'?  they can, obviously, but I understood (for some pc reason I guess) that it was not possible?  (i.e. blacks can call each other the 'n' word and call whites all sorts with no come back).

"President Trump is getting a distorted view of the country from what he sees on the conservative talk show "Fox & Friends. He was set off by a segment on the 6 am hour of "Fox & Friends Weekend. Trump digested what he heard on Fox and ran with it, tweeting about Cummings and Baltimore an hour later"

"The President saw my work. This just made my day."

Are you saying that the POTUS, is incapable of critical thinking ?

 

[JulesMad]

Being called a 'racist' by a white supremacist who happens to be the most racist president in the history of usa is almost a compliment.

Since 12 other Presidents owned slaves your case becomes difficult to prove.

 Nonsense !Where is the racism (where does Trump say or ever  suggested  that  I dislike someone because of the color of their skin) ! Its all about what they do or don't do in their job(dems and GOP )

Perhaps Trump's comments to Elijah Cummings when he said clean up your own rat infested district

was timely. Perhaps Elijah Cummings would like to respond about this assault on an elderly Muslim man in his very own district.

What say you Mr. Cummings?

Interesting you think racism can only be determined by words only.

[manarak]

I think Trump carefully plans these stunts.

He wants to garner support from racists and misogynists, while dismissing these incidents as digressions, clearly counting on losing less mainstream republicans than gaining support.

They are the ones I can remember. Sure there are more.

Math challenged much? There are about 37 million African Americans in the USA. So 8% would be about 3 million. I guess we can number this lot as being among them. What makes these outliers opinions so especially valuable? Does being a black supporter of Trump give them some special insight that being black and against Trump does not?

You make good points.

 

However I didnt think the US could be so dumbed down to elect W. But yet they did it twice.

 

Trump is in a league of his own though. Only thing worse would be Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham getiing into any public office above toilet cleaner.

Thats what the POTUS does ,he uses his words against his opposition! He fights back with words like no other POTUS  has done against the dems! He has never used skin color in a response .

Leave the ducks out of this fray. If you want to look for a fowls, go after those darn hens at the political races. Makes as much sense as what you posted, except I used sentences, periods and comas.

President Trump tweets.   Cue TDS

[Bucknaway]

I use to live in Baltimore and visit sometimes. Trump told the truth and he will win in this argument.  He is back in campaign mode and he is going to launch obvious truth bombs one after the other.

Cummings is a piece of work, term limits are desperately needed.

Trump got a small percentage of the black vote, yet has done more than any other president for the black people. Normally politicians only help those who help them, but Trump isn’t a normal politician. 

 

Trump has a brilliant point — DO SOMETHING— other than worthless investigations. Clean up your own backyard. Keeping blacks on the government tit and confined to the inner city plantation doesn’t seem to be working. 

 

I guess being  black gives you Immunity from corruption, criticism and accountability? 

 

We we all know democrats will call anything that moves a racist, even their own if it advances their selfish motivations.....  this is to be expected. The problem is, intelligent people are aware, and have developed racism and investigation fatigue.

 

 What is the grand strateegreey and political platform when you have none?  Why it’s call everyone a racist.

What's he done for black people?

Working to disenfranchise their voting rights.
Massive tax cuts for the very wealthy only ballooning the deficit.
Trashing Obamacare and replacing it with nothing.
