Reparations: Trump Promises Black Voters “Wrongs Will Be Made Right”

Trump_Sharpton_JacksonWhile protesters marched on the streets of Detroit on Saturday, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump took his campaign to a black church pulpit in Detroit Saturday, delivering a prepared speech and promising those in attendance to help African-Americans in “so many ways.”

I fully understand that the African-American community has suffered from discrimination and that there are many wrongs that must still be made right,” he told congregants at the Great Faith International Ministries church. “They will be made right. I want to make this city the economic envy of the world. We can do that. We can do that again. Factories everywhere, schools, especially schools, and new hope.”

Further, Trump told them that he’s “sort of seen a lot” and he would like to bring “wealth and prosperity and opportunity to those who have not had these opportunities before and that’s many, many people in Detroit.”

He told the church that he is “determined” to do something about falling wages and disappearing jobs.

“I do get things done,” he said. “I will tell you, I’m going to get things done. I’m going to get things done for you.”

Trump also lauded the nation’s black church for its involvement in the civil rights movement, and told those in attendance that “it’s from these pews that our nation has been inspired toward a better moral character.”

The African-American community has been “one of G-d’s greatest gifts to America and to its people,”  and there is no action than the country could do that would heal the nation than to “provide a greater platform to the black churches and churchgoers.”

And those who seek office do not do enough to step into the community and learn what’s going on. I’m here today to learn, so that we can together remedy injustice in any form, and so that we can also remedy economics so that the African-American community can benefit economically through jobs and income and so many other different ways.”

“I believe we need a civil rights agenda for our time,” added Trump, who earlier said becoming the nominee of the party of Abraham Lincoln “was one of the great honors of my life.”

Before his address, Trump swayed in one of the rows of worshippers along with Omarosa Manigault, who became a star on his reality show, “The Apprentice” and who is now his director of African-American outreach.
