If you were searching for a perfect example of utter incomprehension on the part of a white person, it was on glorious display in the person of new Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway when she appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and was asked about the Orange Menace’s half-hearted “outreach” to African-American voters this week.
“This Week” host George Stephanopoulos told Conway that Trump’s remarks where he said black Americans have got “no education, no anything” were offensive:
“(M)any in the African-American community saw [Trump’s remarks] as insulting because they say most African-Americans don’t live in poverty and that Mr. Trump was making those comments in communities that are more than 90 percent white.”
Conway responded and proved just how clueless she and the rest of the Trump team are:
“Those comments are for all Americans. And I live in a white community. I’m white. I was very moved by his comment. In other words, he is trying to tell Americans that we can do better.”
Oh, well if the incredibly privileged and wealthy Ms. Conway was touched, then it must be genuine! Does she have any freaking clue just how insensitive and totally tone-deaf her remarks sound? Of course not, because she’s just as ignorant as the douchebag who signs her checks.
Conway then went on to toss out the already discredited lie about the unemployment rate being 58 percent among young African-Americans, sounding like a snotty and petulant whiner when she told Stephanopoulos:
“If you think 58 percent of unemployment in the African-American youth community is a good idea, then absolutely please go vote for Hillary Clinton, everyone. But he’s saying, you can’t do any worse.”
Wrong again, Kellyanne! A Trump Administration would be much much worse, and not just for black Americans, but for all of us who aren’t worth several million dollars.
