I'm left disappointed that CNN didn't allow him to elaborate on his idea for a few more minutes.

Seriously, don't leave us hanging like that.

Yeah, this could be game changing. Everybody knows Africa, especially Sub-Saharan, is an absolute hotbed of innovation and is screaming for high-paid employees.

It's another prime example of the left-wing media keeping the black man down.

I don't know if I'd say he's racist, just incredibly stupid.

Of course they are - because only someone severely racist against minorities could be a Trump supporter in the first place.

I take it he's leading from the front there, heading off to one of the many under populated areas with all the job vacancies. I wonder which of the 54 countries which make up Africa he's got in mind to send people to and do think they know what he's planning?

I posted this video on another thread, and drew attention to the fact that Angela Rye's eyebrows serve as a sort of running editorial comment on the pastor's remarks.

I think the short little bit where he tries to explain gang violence is quite revealing.

Did you think he came out with a single coherent sentence? I couldn't make anything out.

I am not a proponent of this, but I think it is necessary to sort of forecast where his sentences could have wound up if he'd bothered to finish them. I got the feeling that he started saying a lot of things, but then thought, "oh, shit, that sounds bad. Let's start over." There are a number of sentences which simply cannot end well. And this is my basis for concluding that the man is a racist. Too many of his sentences begin going places where they really had no business starting to go.

I accept that this cannot be anything stronger than conjecture. But consider that this man is a pastor. He basically gives weekly speeches in front of crowds. It is reasonable to expect that he could form a coherent sentence if he thought it was a good idea to finish one.

Maybe that was the role of the smiling woman sitting next to him, to discreetly kick him in the ankle whenever he was about to say something that wouldn't play well to the general TV audience.

My thought exactly - which African Americans get to go to which countries? I would love to see that selection process and also, let's make a documentary that follow these 'Africans' on their journeys back 'home'.
