REDDING, Calif. — Donald Trump singled out a black supporter at a rally in California on Friday as he sought to demonstrate his support among African-Americans, saying, "Look at my African-American over here!" At the Friday rally, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was in the middle of describing a past campaign event, at which he said a black supporter "slugged" protesters who were dressed in a "Ku Klux Klan outfit." "I want to find out what's going on with him," Trump said of the supporter at the previous rally. He then appeared to spot a black person in the audience of Friday's event in northern California. "Oh, look at my African-American over here," an excited Trump said, while pointing into the crowd. "Look at him. Are you the greatest? You know what I'm talking about? OK!" After pointing out the audience member, Trump then went on with his story, which appeared to match the events of a March rally that took place in Arizona. "We had an African-American guy at one of the rallies a month ago, and he was sitting there behaving," Trump said. "And we had protesters inside the arena. And they were dressed in a Ku Klux Klan outfit, OK? "This African-American gets up and, man, he slugged these guys. He slugged them." Trump said many people thought the black supporter at the earlier rally was an opponent of his campaign. "He was like this great guy, military guy, we have tremendous African-American support," he said. "The reason is I'm going to bring jobs back to our country." Trump spent much of the Redding rally bashing Clinton. He also pledged to "play heavy in California" in an effort to capture the Electoral College's biggest prize in November.
Polls have consistently shown that when it comes to support among African-American voters, Trump trails his likely general election opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Willie, did you get offended? TFB.... America loves Trump. On January 1st, 2017... my confederate flag gets raised. Stick that up your racist ass. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
On July 4th, along with the American flag, I am going to raise the Stars & Bars. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. if you look around, we have gone so far down the the rat hole, the almighty is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah, if we don't have a judgement come down on us.

Hey, I want an African-American too! ;-D Trump will take a beating over this that he doesn't deserve. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Willie is jealous because he can't afford to buy any black people.
"I didn't take offense at all because of what he said afterward," Cheadle later told NBC News. "I liked what he said about his black supporter fighting off a man dressed as a klansman at his rally." "Yes, it was odd, but since he went on to tell the story, it's OK," Cheadle added. "I know some are saying it was demeaning, objectifying or possessory. But that's not the conclusion I came to."
