ADAM COLEMAN reveals why Trump's guilty verdict will only BOOST his support among black Americans

Joe Biden's political operatives may be popping champagne in the White House over Donald Trump's guilty verdict.

But they should be deeply concerned.

Trump's historic conviction will only make it harder for Team Biden to win over black voters, who are already abandoning the Democratic ticket in droves.

And without the overwhelming support of the black America – Biden's campaign is toast.

Ask any voter – regardless of race – exactly what Trump has been found guilty of and you're likely to receive a blank stare in response.

That's because no one – let alone a former president –has ever been prosecuted for this supposed offense.

And, more than most, black Americans know when something doesn't smells legally rotten.

The vile legacy of slavery, the cruelty of Jim Crow, the horrors of the Tuskegee experiments and the gross unfairness of the 1994 federal crime bill which triggered a mass incarceration crisis, have all imbued black culture with a deep skepticism of the big state.

It's not lost on black folk – more highly incarcerated in America than any other race – that the US legal system appears to have it out for Donald Trump, too.

Meanwhile, Biden wants black people to believe that he's their white savior fighting against supposed systematic bias when his justice system – in fact – seems to be part of the problem.

A New York Times/Sienna poll in May found that 23 percent of blacks in the six battleground states key to winning the presidency now say they they are leaning towards Trump.

Only 9 percent of black voters backed Trump in the 2020 election.

Perhaps equally as surprising was the scene in the Bronx earlier this month when Trump showed up to campaign in the deep-blue district and was greeted by hundreds of supporters.

His message then, as it has always been: If you love me, I love you. All Americans can board the 'Trump Train'.

Contrast that with Biden's increasingly desperate outreach to the black community, which consists of little more than race-baiting and fearmongering.

'[Trump] is the same guy who wanted to tear gas you as you peacefully protested George Floyd's murder,' he told a crowd at a boarding school for black students as young as 6-years-old this week.

He delivered a similar screed - perhaps, more age-appropriate but just as craven - to graduates at Morehouse College earlier this month:

'It's natural to wonder if the democracy you hear about actually works for you. What is democracy if black men are being killed in the street? What is democracy if a trail of broken promises still leave black communities behind?' 

Indeed, Mr. President.

But who exactly is responsible for this illusory 'democracy' that you describe?

Donald Trump hasn't spent his life in politics. You have – and your record is spotty.

Black Americans also won't soon forget that Joe Biden has lied repeatedly about his role in the civil rights movement.

'When I marched in the civil rights movement… I marched with tens of thousands of others to change attitudes,' Biden said during his 1987 presidential campaign.

Months later he retracted those claims as he dropped out of the race and admitted to plagiarizing the political speeches of others and embellishing his resume.

'I was not an activist. I worked at an all-black swimming pool in the east side of Wilmington, Delaware,' Biden confessed. 'I was not out marching. I was not down in Selma, I was not anywhere else.'

Throughout his decades-long career in the Senate, Biden was friends with men who fought against desegregation like Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond and former-Klansman Senator Robert Byrd.

Kamala Harris called him out for it on the 2020 Democratic primary debate stage.

'You also worked with [former segregationist senators] to oppose busing,' Harris spat at Biden, referencing his opposition to federally mandated busing of minority students to high-performing schools.

Today, Harris stands at Biden's as his Vice President, joining him in calling Trump the bigot.

That's all to say nothing of then-senator Biden's sponsorship of the infamous 1994 federal croime bill which is still largely responsible the mass incarceration crisis among black men in America.

As a former Democrat, I was blind to this reality for decades.

But what made me finally wake up to the real Joe Biden was the moment he was confronted by Charlamagne tha God during the 2020 presidential campaign.

'I tell you what,' he told Charlamagne, 'if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black!'

Biden was later forced to walk back that statement, saying 'I was much too cavalier.' But his flippant remark is forever etched into my memory.

The truth is that Biden has a long record of using race as a wedge to divide and manipulate Americans.

As they say, when someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Well, to my mind, Biden has shown himself to be a condescending racist who pretends to be a friend to black Americans only when it's time to vote.

None of this is to say that Trump is flawless. I don't agree with all his policy positions. And I may not support him come November.

But I know one thing for certain – I won't be pulling the lever for Biden.

I guess that means I ain't black.

Right, Joe?
