Black Community News News and Commentary for Christians
The National Black Republican Association endorsed Donald Trump Friday for president.
“As citizens who happen to be black, we support Mr. Trump because he shares our values,” said a statement from NBRA chair Frances Rice. “We, like Mr. Trump, are fiscally conservative, steadfastly pro-life and believers in a small government that fosters freedom for individuals and businesses, so they can grow and become prosperous.
“We are deeply concerned about illegal immigration, a major cause of high black unemployment, especially among black youth. Black Americans across America are beginning to wake up and see clearly the reality of what is happening in black neighborhoods.
“Democrats have run black communities for the past 60 years and the socialist policies of the Democrats have turned those communities into economic and social wastelands, witness Detroit, Baltimore and South Chicago.
“We believe that Mr. Trump has demonstrated that he can push back against the mainstream media, end political correctness and free black communities from the destructive grip of socialist Democrats.”
Others echoed that support.
“As a black minister, I can tell you this — we’re right in the inner city and I tell you we need jobs, we need employment, we need businesses. And I tell you, who better can help us help ourselves than Donald Trump,” the Rev. Steve Parson of Richmond Christian Center in Richmond, Virginia, said last month in announcing a group of ministers were supporting Trump.
“Can you imagine the look on Al Sharpton’s face right now?” wrote John S. Roberts on Young Conservatives. “Trump is racking up endorsements left and right (including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin), and he is still the frontrunner in the GOP race by a large margin.
“Securing the black vote will be key in 2016, and Trump just cleared a major hurdle.”

So sad. He may help with jobs but most people I meet want to live off the gov. He has supported abortion regardless what he says now,he is for big gov.with gov. Health care. He is not for God given natural marriage, so if any one says there against Gay marriage their freedom of speech and religious liberty are at risk .He got rich on sin, the casinos. He will not totally shut down planned parenthood.(who gives abortions). Will take your land to build casinos or builds or parking lots. He said he would make so called deals with Congress.
An early turnout for Carson by this group might have helped his campaign. Carson is more conservative than Trump on every issue.
Now Hillary and Cruz are you satisfied that your allegations that Black Lives Don’t Matter to Trump! You all are a bunch of nitpickers just hoping to push your numbers up by Bashing Trump; you are not going to win. We want someone to bring this country together, regardless of race and no one life matters more than another, but Obama has done more to bring civil unrest in this country that anyone else who has ever held office. What a SHAME. ALL LIVES MATTER AND TRUM IS THE MAN TO SEE THAT HAPPENS. TRUMP IN 2016!!!!!!!!!!!! He doesn’t need to be pat on the back by politicians, they are the cause of this horrible mess this country is in today! Don’t be a Dem or a Repub, Vote with your heart for the person who will make this country great again, not another politician or another crooked, liar Clinton; this has been proven, what can you all be thinking or are you not?
To me, Donald Trump is the macaia of the Christians, Jewish, black, white and yellow races. May be the Lord is welling to forgive his creation after all
