There are some genuine Uncle Ruckus’ out there, I’ve actually met one. Like he really thought he should’ve been born white and was racist as hell. Pretty sure people like him are voting for trump. I also saw this guy on tiktok defending his reasoning for wanting to vote for trump so there’s even some normal ones voting for him

I’ve encountered some uncle ruckus’ too. Got pulled over by a black cop a couple months ago, nothing was even considered to be an offense. My lil brother was in the back wit my other siblings. They all had seat belts on and so did I. Still got off with a ticket somehow. It be yo own people man.

Once a Black man puts on a police uniform, he's no longer Black.

He is blue.

I think they more so let power get to their head, 9 times outta ten they’re tryna impress white people. At least from my experience.

The only black person I know who's voting for Trump is a naturalized African immigrant who came here with nothing and started several moderately successful businesses. He likes Trump because he'll be good for business ostensibly and he dgaf about all the obvious racism around the republican party. For him, it's entirely about the policies that will affect him specifically. It's extra ironic because he'd like to bring some of his family members here from his home country... Literally, the definition of "I've got mine fuck everybody else".
