I have to wonder, Trump/Clinton aside, just why is there a mammoth lead for Hillary, and always has been massive leads for the Democrats? Each year, each election season, we read about how pretty much nothing has been done for the black community. The homeless is the same. The job market is the same or worse. The communities themselves are in disrepair. Pretty much all of the complaints going into election year - now a whole helluva lot of improvement, if any at all, and much is worse. So what is it?
What is it that has the black community voting (D) year after year? Promises? I honestly don't get it.
For example, if someone is a huge business man of some sort, and the affiliation they prefer is making changes over and over that helps said business, I can fully understand why one continues to go in that direction. I'm assuming there must be a good reason and/or reasonS. I did a little search prior to posting this and am still lost as to why. I really don't want to pick out an article out of TONS, as if I pick the wrong one, it may come off as me being racist, which is NOT why I'm asking this. I ask as it's obviously a large bloc of voters. Also, because of Trump's recent "appeal" to the black community. At least he seems honest about it to me, whereas someone like Hillary magically finds a black accent of course when she needs it. :rolleyes:

Donald Trump made his most direct appeal to African Americans on Friday, asking "What do you have to lose?" while slamming longstanding Democratic policies that have destroyed inner cities and sent manufacturing jobs to Mexico and other countries.
"We cannot fix our problems by relying on the same politicians who created our problems in the first place," Trump told a rally in Dimondale, Mich., a suburb of Lansing in the southwestern part of the state. "A new future requires brand-new leadership.
"Look how much African-American communities have suffered under Democratic control," he continued in his appeal to the party's longtime base. "To those I say the following: What do you have to lose by trying something new, like Trump? What do you have to lose?
"You're living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs. Fifty-eight percent of your youth is unemployed.
"What the hell do you have to lose?" Trump asked before predicting, "at the end of four years, I guarantee you that I will get over 95 percent of the African-American vote — because I will produce.
"I will produce for the inner cities and I will produce for the African-Americans.
"One thing we know for sure is if you keep voting for the same people, you will keep getting the same — exactly the same result," Trump said.
"Hillary Clinton is a throwback to an ugly past where politicians preyed on our poorer citizens while selling them out for personal gain."
