Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tried Saturday to court the black vote with an appearance before an African American Christian congregation in Detroit, where in a humble tone he said he was there to listen and learn. Trump appeared before the congregation of Bishop Wayne Jackson at Great Faith Ministries International to convince the faithful that he understands the complaints of African American voters about discrimination and their lack of opportunities. Trump promised those in the Detroit church that his presidency will bring unity, cohesion, peace and prosperity, as well as a civil rights agenda for our time. Trump said the country is very divided and the political system has failed its citizens. Trump was met outside the Christian church by dozens of demonstrators, including African American pastors, who called Trump a racist.
