Racial inheritance is still in the United States and the blatant discrimination and lining, which is expressed in various ways, a key element in American political life rises and falls according to political changes and economic crises in the country.
In the past years the streets of different cities witnessed bloody clashes between police and sometimes the young members of the # blacks, millions watched on television and YouTube. It highlights racial heritage in every election cycle, and in most cases negatively, albeit notable exception was in 2008 when Americans elected Barack Obama as the first president of African descent.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump play the ethnic card since he announced his candidacy, and to do so openly and provocatively, while his arrows against migrants from the US-Hispanic and Mexico accused was sending criminals, rapists and drug traffickers to the United States. The Trump has infuriated African Americans specifically, while publicly questioned the identity of President Obama in 2008, and whether it has already been born in the United States, or in Africa, hence his insistence at the time that Obama reveals a copy of his birth certificate.
Trump positions during the primary elections campaign, most notably his calls to prevent Muslims from entering the country, and the deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants, mostly from Latin America and elsewhere, have made a lot of voters say he is a fanatic and racist. In a poll conducted by the agency "Associated Press" last month, 65 percent of Americans said that the word "racist" applies to Trump. Another poll conducted by the newspaper "Washington Post" this month also showed that 56 percent of Americans believe that Trump bigoted against women and minorities.
The statistics show that Republican candidates usually get the support of very low ratios of the votes of African-American and other minorities, and are compensated for by obtaining the support of a simple majority of men # whites, especially a university degree. African-American voters considered most loyal to the Democratic Party.
African American voters tend not to Republicans
Since the 1976 elections, when President Gerald Ford won 16 percent of the votes of African-American, I did not get any Republican candidate on more than 12 percent. Republican presidential candidate John McCain got 4 percent of the votes of African descent in the 2008 election, while candidate Mitt Romney won the support of 6 percent in the 2012 election.
In a poll conducted by the newspaper "Wall Street Journal" and the television network "NBC" in the past week, Trump got the support of only 1 percent of Americans voices of African descent. In contrast, opinion polls give a very large proportion of support for Hillary Clinton in the US among African-American, more than 90 percent.
In the wake of the changes in the campaign and his appointment of new administrators to manage and build bridges with minorities, Trump began to act as if he discovered the existence of a significant minority of African-American for the first time. In a series of speeches designed to attract African Americans to his campaign, Trump addressed this important segment of the electorate over me in a manner using stereotypical images blatant and disrespectful tone led to a backlash.
The fee Trump bleak picture and to some extent a caricature of life for African Americans in American cities, while describing their lives as similar "to war zones," and its residents need government cards to buy food, or are unable to own houses in which they live, and their lives in constant danger because of the violence acts.
He added that, if elected, will be able to restore economic health of American cities and the fight against violence in them. He continued: "Then you will be able to walk in the streets without Taataradwa fire ...."
Trump was not talking to blacks
With every speech was Trump ascends from Mbalgath when he said a few days ago, "You can go into battle zones in some states, and you find you are more secure than some of our cities." Striking paradox seems that Trump is not perceived or does not care to recognize it, is that he usually speaks in front of the audience is white in the overwhelming majority, but this seems Trump, he appeals to the voters of African descent to be elected, without being in front of a black object, like an actor in an absurd play.
At the end of last week and during the electoral activity in the state of Virginia, Trump addressed the white audience, imagined it appeals to an audience of African Americans: "What if Stkhosrunh tried them something new, such as Trump?". He continued, referring to the extent considered typical insult: "You are living in poverty, your schools are not good, and you are unemployed, and the unemployment rate among the adolescent is 58 percent, what the hell, what Stkhosrunh?".
What he was talking about Trump is a stereotype and worn, as if all African Americans are poor, uneducated and prone to use violence. Remarkably, is that Trump refuses to speak before an audience of black, not to visit universities and churches that studying or praying with Americans of African descent, also rejected the organizations calls that represent these important Americans slide, which prompted some to say that Trump is aware that he can not in this late stage in the race to attract even a modest percentage of blacks to his campaign, and that the real goal is to improve his image among white voters who belong to the middle or wealthy and living in the suburbs class, who do not want to vote for a candidate racist.
And it shows the different polls, whether at the national level or at the level of the few states that will decide the race, that candidate Hillary Clinton will win in the elections, and by large, so even though it is also mired in problems deepened its negative image in the minds of voters. A majority of Americans - more than 60 percent in some Alasttalaat- says she does not trust the credibility of Clinton. This means that if the Republican Party of another candidate, because the battle was not guaranteed, and more serious, and more exciting.
