They treated him with a lot of disrespect. Just a shame to watch now

[@DianaGonzalez-wh7ul]

I just learned today that in 1998 Mr. Donald J. Trump helped ($) for Rev. Jesse Jackson to run for President. I was one of the people that voted for Rev. Jackson. He also helped Mr. A. Shaprton ($) and then Oprah applaud Mr. Trump for all his help towards Black Americans. Even the Former Pres. Obama said in one of his interviews, people should follow Mr. Donald Trump and be more like him.

I have seen one interview of Donald Trump talking about that election and speaking very well about Jesse Jackson, and hoping for his victory, and I can find it now.. Jesse Jackson denied Trump's endorsement.. Politics is like marriage 😅😅😅 they go from love to hate in a heartbeat

People today are hypnotized by the MSM who are fortified by the deep state. The "big lie" is that Donald Trump is a racist! I can't believe my friends actually believe he is racist. They are misled and only need to do a bit of unbiased research.

Rev Jesse Jackson was so articulate, intelligent and handsome. He held his own during this interview; I agree with his answers to their questions. They tried to trip him up, but he was too quick thinking. 😊

Stupid question

[@Keith-xp2md]

1984! 1988! 2008 - 2016 ( the election of the 1st so called black President ). Sixteen years later! Have black Americans PROGRESSED or REGRESSED? Sixteen years later! Have black Americans become PROACTIVE or REACTIVE?

America do not want religious base leaders. America has never had any religious person running for the presidency. That is scary for many people but of course, you do not have to be a religious leader to ban abortions or take-out migrants begging to come in. The problem is that religion cannot be a guide for the leader. However, religion cannot be the problem per se because the southern leadership voting block including the southern Christianne coalition whatever they are called - I think it is the evangelical voters that is the most powerful. The president of the US cannot be from any religious order. Oh, I see.

Wasn’t a massive part of Reagan’s success predicated on his support from evangelicals? And wasn’t the 80s a very rampant time for Christianity in America?
