A prominent African-American supporter of Donald Trump tweeted a cartoon portraying Hillary Clinton in blackface that cast her as pandering to black voters.

Pastor Mark Burns, the Trump surrogate who tweeted the image Monday afternoon, told MSNBC that he stands by it. He later apologized for his comments in a Periscope livestream Monday evening.

"The picture is designed to draw attention to the very fact that Hillary Clinton does pander to black people," Burns said. "She does pander and the policies are not good for African-Americans. It's doing exactly what it's designed to do. We're not playing the political PC game to make you feel good."

What you do in the privacy of your own home is your business. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

He was spot on

and trump hasn't been pandering to the black voter as of late? i admit, he has an odd approach to pandering - quite obvious and condescending (probably why it ain't working)

For Donald Trump, appealing to minority groups and women often amounts to an “us vs. them” proposition — warning one group that it is being threatened or victimized by another, using exaggerated contrasts and a very broad brush.

“Poor Hispanics and African American citizens are the first to lose a job or see a pay cut when we don’t control our borders,” the Republican presidential candidate said at a rally last week in Akron, Ohio, adding that blacks in particular should vote for him because their lives are so terrible. “What do you have to lose?” he said. “You’ll be able to walk down the street without getting shot. Right now, you walk down the street, you get shot.”

From the start of his campaign, Trump has shaped his message around who is to blame for the nation’s problems — often pointing at illegal immigrants, Black Lives Matter activists and other minorities in a pitch that was aimed primarily at white Republicans.

But now, as Trump seeks to reach out to women and minorities who favor Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, he has increasingly taken to pitting one group against another in a bid for support. It’s not clear how well it will work: Many minority voters, already turned off by months of blunt and polarizing statements, still hear the language of separation in Trump’s words.

“Look, I just think a lot of his views are very ignorant,” Crystal Woods-Brookes, who is black, said as she folded clothes at a laundromat a few miles south of Trump’s Akron rally. “This is not our country, in his words. . . . I believe that’s his whole purpose, to divide, to put us . . . against each other, make one believe the other side is better.

“I believe now he’s trying to change because — it’s not about black people, it’s about the votes,” she added. “He’s already made his point quite clear, as far as I’m concerned.”

Trump laid out to the black community that he understands their problems ... Crime , unemployment , Undocumented Democrats taking away employment that many folks could be doing. Look at what Clinton wants to do to Detroit .. Put 10,000 Syrians to work fixing up housing projects. ... Black folks get left behind standing on the street corner .... complaining about no jobs ... Marvin complains that trump will not enter the inner cities ... He is going there this weekend . ... Of course he will not be passing out hot sauce like Hillary would be ... She said she always rolls with hot sauce .. Talk about pandering

Nah, he's more of a let's talk about how bad black people have it, in front of a majority white audience. Oh, let's not forget he declined to see the NAACP. Way to get those votes.

And once again, when Trump has a history of housing discrimination against black people, calling for the execution of black folks who were found to be innocent, and trying the check the POTUS on his Birth certificate, it's going to take more than he has to give to get the black vote.

i think the black community has, by and large, communicated trump's inability to grasp the issues at hand. in ohio for example..http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-gets-0-support-black-voters-ohio-pennsylvania-nbc-n609026

and you'll have to forgive me, i'm not familiar with trump's schedule..where is trump going this weekend? "inner cities" ? is "inner cities" where the black folk can be found?

what does refugee placement have to do with the black community?

why do you think black folks are standing around on corners complaining?

hot sauce is a southern thing lib, aren't you a yank?

Love how Trump displays black people as crime infested poor people, while not addressing white poverty. Do you think it's to pander to his very racist (a few not racist) fan base who love to hear this boot strap theory about black people? He makes them feel so good with his, see!! At least you're not as bad off as those black people.
