Yeah but it's so god damn cynical. I mean they might as well have gone with "We now realize we still need the white vote for at least a few more cycles. Please forget about the BLM riots. Vote Blue 2018!"

Sure. And their policies (if they actually attempt to form some this time around) won't have a prayer of increasing jobs and wages.

But, again, the theme - even if its hollow - is a vast improvement from 2016.

Yes, very cynical and kind of mean when you get down to it. They will not spread out into poor black neighborhoods where the skills problem is the greatest and start up apprentice /training programs for young black males in particular to learn things like being an electrician ( we do have an extreme shortage of good ones) Competent plumbers and HVAC guys. As well as machinists and welders.

We need guys like that, desperately. Instead we will teach them about Windows, computer apps or worse teach them or train them to be friggin glorified orderlies as Certfied Nursing Assistants that get paid 9-10.00 an hour. No wonder they would rather sling dope on the street corner.....street level dealers make about 13-15.00 an hour.
