Donald Trump referred to minority neighborhoods as "ghettos" while speaking at a Toledo, Ohio, rally this afternoon.

"We’re gonna work on our ghettos and so the -- " Trump said, breaking off before going on to list the problems affecting the "inner cities."

"You take a look at what’s going on, you have pockets of areas of land where you have the inner cities, you have so many things, so many problems, so many horrible, horrible problems," he continued.

Trump, who frequently references inner cities when making his appeal to African-American voters, has garnered criticism for how he’s reached out to African-Americans, with whom his support remains low according to all major polls. He often makes his appeals in front of almost all-white crowds, harping on conditions in inner cities, neglecting to appeal to other African-Americans who don’t live in inner cities. ........................

1. So, Trump's gonna work on the ghettos. Kirk's insults Duckworth. How about one more racist barb

from their team before the weekend.

2. The Republican Party merger with the Neo-Nazis is complete.

7. Someone should do something sexist or anti-semitic or homophobic

to achieve the hat trick. And then just keep going. Maybe do something to turn off millennials next.

In a way, it's good to have it out in the open. People have often held these thoughts privately but now they are showing their authentic selves. America needs to deal with these feelings.

3. But he's going to take care of his blacks.

[Beacool]

5. I read on another site a comment from a guy who went to one of his rallies.

Apparently, the signs are placed at the entrance of the venue and people grab the sign they want to hold. OK, but why would a white person want to hold up a sign that reads "Blacks for Trump"???? That makes no bloody sense.

These people are as dense as a brick.

8. A lot of things Trumpers do make no sense

like their inability to articulate how America will become great again or what jobs Trump is going to help them create.

Hillary has solid plans specifically to help rural America.

14. What's funny is that they actually believe we were ever really great at all.

Oh sure, we have had some better times than others but no country has ever truly been great as all of them have their problems.

[lastlib]

17. That's why they're Trumpers.

Logic escapes them.

[msanthrope]

13. I bet I know her DU name. nt

[bravenak]

27. Me too

[Beacool]

4. Tone-deaf racist moron.

Does he really think that this is the way to win over AA???????

What an a$$...........

[Chicago1980]

6. So is he going to start with Appalachia?

[Ken Burch]

10. How soon will he be opening "Trump N the 'Hood"?

[Hulk]

11. Good! There's something the Orange Anus can work on once he gets his ass handed to him November 8th

Worthless sack of shit. Honestly, the MOST deplorable son-of-a-bitch in the land. Maybe he can focus on "doing some good" in his final years of plaguing this earth with his presence.

[PSPS]

12. "in front of almost all-white crowds"

[BumRushDaShow]

15. The world

is a ghetto.

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. Every time Trump uses the term "inner cities" he loses 6,000 African American and Latino votes

Every time he uses the term "ghetto," he loses 15,000.

He could very well take less than 2% of the African American vote nationally, an astonishing political failure, even for somebody as dumb and racist as him. No candidate has been more despised by African Americans, probably including George Wallace.

[treestar]

23. Even Condi and Powell aren't going to vote for him

I think he will get two votes, Clarence Thomas and that lady who works for him.

19. Website on "Blacks for Trump" sign

I made the mistake of navigating to the "gods2.com" website featured on that "Blacks for Trump" sign- what a nightmare! It's a WIX site full of conspiracy nuttiness and godawful page design. I think my browser just threw up.

20. "The African Americans love me"

21. New Trump Campaign Song by Elvis Presley USA! USA!

"In The Ghetto" - Elvis Presley

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto

And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see?
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?

Well, the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
He buys a gun,
Steals a car,
Tries to run,
But he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

And as her young man dies,
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

And his mama cries

[treestar]

22. Vague as usual

not to mention racist.

[bravenak]

26. I hope he strolls on through to fix 'em

When he shows up I will be refreshing WSHH (World Star Hip Hop) for videos of his event.
