Trump: African American communities are in the worst shape they've "ever, ever, ever" been

[Godhumor]

...WHAT???

From his remarks at his "town hall":

"We're going to rebuild our inner cities because our African-American communities are in absolutely the worst shape they've ever been in before. Ever, ever, ever. You take a look at the inner cities, you get no education, you get no jobs, you get shot walking down the street. They're worse, I mean honestly, places like Afghanistan are safer than some of our inner cities."


...


That is some outreach effort.

2. Granted its not great but I don't know....slavery, Jim Crow come to mind for worse times.

Thats not to say Jim Crow isn't still in existence...its just wrapped up in policy now but no we are not in the worst shape we've ever been in and no thats not going to get you votes. We all know this is about making White people comfortable voting for him. He doesn't give a shit about African Americans.

3. "But that's NOTHING compared to the shape they'll be in if I get elected!"

4. Solution? Super-majoroties in the House and Senate with Clinton in the WH.

We will address the problems with inner cities by investing in infrastructure, education, and programs that actually help. We know Republicans wont help a constituency that votes Democrat.

6. It's not even close to true, even including only data from 1945
