Here\u2019s what he told them:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI will consider it a personal insult \u2014 an insult to my legacy \u2014 if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election.

He explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI think part of what we see is that the Clinton campaign made a bad decision. They spent most of the summer trying to court disaffected Republicans and taking their base for granted. And I said on this show that how what would happen as she was getting the endorsements of Bush Republicans and the like, how would that excite those folks who were supporting Bernie Sanders? How would that excite Latino voters, how would it excite African-American voters? And so, now, what do we get? Instead of a series of rationale arguments from the president to black voters, we get, you know, don\u2019t insult me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Blacks in America are waking up to the Democrat\u2019s grand hoax. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/davidclarke\/2016\/08\/hillary-panics-as-blacks-realize-democrats-have-destroyed-their-lives\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">I\u2019ve written about this before<\/a>: black lives are not the mission of the party. Its only mission is the black vote, and they will promise anything to get it. In the end, it\u2019s their personal interests that Democrats are after, and they\u2019ve left a wake of damaged black lives behind through progressive policies that have kept inner cities in chaos. It\u2019s a vicious cycle; one they perpetrate and then follow up with promised solutions that never come. Like a crack dealer, Democrats keep blacks addicted to government programs who in turn offer their vote to score another hit. But a new day is dawning. There has been an awakening.
