Black People at Trump Rallies

[Anonymous]

I'm a black Trump supporter. Sure his tweets are cringe-worthy at times, but I don't see racist.
1. He just accomplished more for blacks with the first step act than democrats ever did.
2. And jobs, as bill clinton said, it's the economy stupid.

It's a shame that Dems would not work with Trump on the First Step Act, of all things. Biting off their nose to spite their face.

I don’t understand why you couldn’t choose a republican who had half a brain instead of this charlatan? I have no problem with a conservative republican in office, but why him? He embarrasses the US on the world stage to the point we are laughing stalks...

You people really MUST find new materials. Your default "insult" is to scream, "Koch Brothers," or "Fox News" or "puppet of Putin!"
And, your total ignorance shows when you do.

OP, there are idiots (and paid idiots) everywhere, in every group of people. Rest assured, the vast majority of black people do not support Trump.

At most Trump rallies, including last night’s disturbing display at East Carolina U, there are black people in the crowd. Not many, but some. Occasionally Asians and some people who appear to be Hispanic. WaPo just published a pic of Trump at his hateful rally and there were a few black women in the background, holding his signs and looking positively gleeful. I simply do not get it. How can any minority embrace Trump?

I cannot even face my non-white friends today. Many are first-gen professionals How in the world does a black person cheer for Trump, chant slogans against minority women, and then face family and friends? I would really like to hear the perspectives of others on this. Also, I hope this question is not offensive to anyone because that’s not my intention at all.

OP, sorry to say, but you are obviously a racist person.

You are judging people by their skin color, not by their values and priorities.

Believe it or not, minority employment is the highest it's ever been, and our communities are safer now than they were before the 2016 election -- murder rates, for example, have declined around 20% since.

Murder rate is up in Washington DC

They might this time around. They are not monolithic
And historically low unemployment from a pro business president?
I think he’s going to set a record for support in the black community in 2020.
If I was a dem, I’d be sh&tting in my skinny jeans right now

The senate version was co-sponsored by Booker and Durbin. John Lewis was a supporter in the House. The first step act was something Eric Holder tried to get through when he was AG. He worked in it with Rand Paul. It could get no traction under a republican controlled house and senate with a democrat president. The same republican controlled house and senate with a republican president was able to get it through. Politics. Even then, there was still a lot of people on both sides such as Cotton and Grassley who were totally against prison reform, while many Dems said it did not go far enough, and thus did not support it.

Because they are not responsible for the policing in your hood. You are contacting the wrong people. Try again.

The character Stephen in Django Unchained has always existed in the Black
Community. He was not fiction, but merely a composite of So many special Black people.

Trump says and does stupid things but on the whole he is not a racist and has pushed for a solidly conservative agenda aside from decidedly non-conservative fiscal policy. I support him because of his positions and policies on the whole, and not on any one single issue. I can appreciate that there are single-issue voters out there, but that's not me.

I'm not the only Asian who support Trump, but I do acknowledge that we are in the small minority.

Supporting Trump and being conservative are two totally different things. It has nothing to do with your party. It has everything to do with him. He is a racist. That conversation has been had.

Democrats keep telling me that everyone is racist to me. It made sense when I was a kid. Eventually I realized that this was just something Democrats said to get elected. They prey on fear and division between cultures in the US. Instead of celebrating the melting pot, they highlight our differences and say those differences are emblematic of some evil racist oppression. I grew up in a socialist country. Our family shared an apartment unit with 3 other families in DC when we first came to the United States. I've been very fortunate to have a wonderful loving family, and making enough income to be in the top 1%. I do not feel oppressed even though Democrats constantly tell me that I am.

Your comment is stupid. I’ve been a Democrat my whole life. I make a lot of money. I don’t feel fearful I feel hopeful as a Democrat. What Democratic Party did you grow up with? Racist is racist. I worked on Capitol Hill in the early 1990s. This Republican Party is not that Republican Party. The Republicans are the ones who keep telling me that I should be afraid of the other.

People are so bad at big picture. "This didn't happen to me therefore it is untrue and the fact that it happens to most people means it is their fault."

The bootstraps mentality has made America a great place, it is the seed of the American dream. But it has also given cover to the elite 1% to oppress the middle and working class because everyone believes that success is in their grasp. Slowly turning the American economy into a type of casino, where the tiny percentage of winners create an illusion that winning is within everyone's grasp if they just reach for it, when really the system is rigged.

I guess congrats on winning the lottery pp.

LMAO, are you seriously sitting here faulting me for not considering the big picture in the context of Asians? Oh go on and tell me about the plight of Asians in the US. Tell me how we are under-represented in higher socioeconomic classes, institutions of higher learning, and venture capital startups.

Yea the system is rigged, it's rigged by Democrats who advocates for policies that require my kids to score hundreds of points higher on SAT to get accepted into a University. You want an example of systemic racism - look at Democratic policies.

Ahahahahaha!

You are incredibly misinformed. Democrats have nothing to do with your kid getting into university. Your issue is with Richwhite Republicans. They want their kids in. Not mine as a black person or yours.

well you are mistaken on two counts. Yes, the DOJ does police and prosecute all 8 wards or the District. Please don’t confuse my neighbors and neighborhood with perhaps your hood wherever you may lay.
