Will Trump ever hire Black Republicans?

By Raynard Jackson

Republicans haven’t shown any serious efforts of making Blacks an
integral part of their party since the Nixon Administration of the 60s
and 70s.

As former Nixon speechwriter, Pat Buchanan stated in one of his
columns, “In 1956, as vice president, Nixon went to Harlem to declare,
“America can’t afford the cost of segregation.” The following year,
Nixon got a personal letter from Dr. King thanking him for helping to
persuade the Senate to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Nixon
supported the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, 1965, and 1968.
During Nixon’s presidency, the civil rights enforcement budget rose
800 percent. Record numbers of Blacks were appointed to federal office.
An Office of Minority Business Enterprise was created. SBA loans to
minorities soared 1,000 percent. Aid to Black colleges doubled.”

Nixon surrounded himself with “credible” Blacks like Bob Brown and
baseball legend, Jackie Robinson. President Trump seems to be satisfied
with surrounding himself with Black Democrats like Omarosa Manigault,
who have absolutely no standing in the Black community, nor any
institutional knowledge of Black Republicans or the Republican Party.

President Trump, would you hire a carpenter to do electrical work on
one of your development projects? Would you ask NBA legend Michael
Jordan to diagnose your sick child’s medical condition? Would you ask
your chauffeur to pilot your plane?

The only obvious answer to each of the above questions is, “Hell No!”
So, why then, Mr. President, do you think it is okay to hire a
liberal, Black Democrat to be the highest-ranking Black staffer in your
White House?
President Trump, you and your staffers have met with more liberal
Blacks than Black Republicans who have been working in the trenches for
the party.

We get it. Manigault is an alumna of your hugely successful, reality
show franchise. You have a personal relationship with her. You trust
her. I say, so what. I have a personal relationship with my physician,
but I don’t go to him for tax advice.

President Trump, you must make a decision. If your goal is to build
the Republican Party into a quasi-Independent Party, then having
Manigault around makes sense, but if your goal is to build the
Republican Party relative to the Black community, then your decision
doesn’t make any sense. You have told the American people incessantly
that you like to hire “very successful” people, but it seems when it
comes to the Black community you have a lower standard.

President Trump, how can you have a Black History event in the White
House with not one Black media outlet being invited? Why were a majority
of the Black attendees Democrats?
If you had one of your tax lawyers or your personal physician doing
the masonry work or laying the rebar on one of your construction sites,
you would be sued for gross negligence.
But, yet you seem to be okay with having a Black Democrat in your
White House, who totally ignores the very people who were part of
getting you elected. And I am not referring to your so-called diversity
council; they were a joke. Only BlakPAC did grassroots canvassing in minority neighborhoods

You received less than 10 percent of the Black vote and those votes
came from Black Republicans who thought you would shake up the party
establishment and finally pay attention to those who have been Black
Republicans for decades not fair-weather Republicans or recently
converted Democrats.

You don’t understand how offensive that is to Black Republicans all
across the country, who have put their blood, sweat, and tears into
getting more Blacks in the Republican Party. Manigault has no idea who
the real, credible Black Republicans are.

When your Chief of Staff attempted to rein Manigault in last month,
she pretty much cursed him out and when he came to you on this matter,
supposedly you said, “leave her alone.”

Mr. President, there are only four Blacks on the RNC Board of Directors: Ada Fisher
(North Carolina), Glen McCall (South Carolina), Robin Armstrong(Texas),
and James Evans (Utah). They have little to no contact with you or your
administration. How is that even possible when they are basically
members of the party’s board of directors?
In 2014, Manigault tweeted, “I’m Ready for Hillary. Are you?
#Hillary2016.” On April 12, 2015, she tweeted, “So proud to know her and
support her! Run Hillary Run! #HisStoryisNowHerStory!”

Two months later you make your famous announcement to run for
president and all of a sudden she switches over to you. Charlatans have
their place in politics, but not if you want to get a significant level
of Black support.

President Trump, you say you are a man of results and one who is
loyal. So, then can you please explain to me why you and your staff are
bending over backwards to meet with Blacks who have called you a racist,
incompetent, and stupid just to name a few?

When will you show your loyalty to “real” Black Republicans who have
party credentials, as well as know what the hell they are doing when it
comes to politics?
