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.

There’s actually a study that showed interracial friend groups influence or reinforce voting patterns. Conservative Black people tended to vote republican within interracial groups regardless of the members political affiliation.
