If we are judging solely by the screen shot you posted, most black folks do.

You know what they meant lol. Sure a majority of black people aren’t voting for him, but the numbers took them by surprise. To see that even 21% of Black people support Trump is alarming, especially considering his take on black people.

Some of my black friends are pro Trump, and I think it’s because they grew up with mostly white friends and how we all went to a predominantly white college.

A couple of my Black acquaintances are pro-Trump. Not sure if I could truly be friends with someone who was pro-Trump tbh. One of them is very Christian (also another excuse as to why I don’t go to church).

A lot of black people are conservative ideologically, but the republican racism keeps them away

Honestly this is probably me - I probably identify as a centrist/moderate but the blatant racism and incessant need to control other people’s lives means I’ve never voted Red in my life.

I dropped a college friend that I had for years for suddenly becoming a trump supporter. He was kind of a shitty friend leading up to that too, but that was the final straw.

It's also weird to me that Christians would be for that man, he's so obviously faking his beliefs for votes.
