Black folks aren’t monolithic, we do have different opinions (even bad ones) that vary from person to person.

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

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

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".
