Agreed. It was kinda shocking to me tho, especially with trump’s ideals. You’d expect most black folks not to like him.

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.

There are black people in America who align themselves with whiteness/republican ideology. The kind that say institutionalized racism isn’t real, believe in reverse racism, say black people need to pull themselves up from their bootstraps because “look, there’s black billionaires” and a bunch of other stuff, there’s a long list and I’m pressed for time.

The same whiteness that is ignoring Trump’s problematic statements towards black Americans. Those black people are ignoring it too because those people are their peers and they think like/are manipulated JUST LIKE THEM.
