[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I saw this, I just started shaking and crying.  This is even worse than taking Jackie Robinson off that website (which also made me cry.).[b] I just feel SO bad for people of color right now.[/b]  I’m an ally, I support BLM, and I don’t want them to hate me because I’m the same color as Trump (white, not orange).  I don’t understand why he can be so cruel.  Or why so many voters are motivated by racism and hate for skin color.  [/quote]
I'm sure you mean well with this. But if you care to understand why Trump actually did better with ethnic and racial minorities in 2024 than he has in the past, it might be worth reading on.

I'm extremely liberal, so I'm not saying this as a Trump voter. But I do understand why non-white people overlooked Trump's racism to vote for him. You are white, I presume, and you are talking about how bad you feel for people of color. How bad do you feel for yourself or your kids that you might have to live in a society that segregates on something arbitrary? In a society that would deprive you of getting to know people like me?

Many non-whites vote for Trump not becuase they don't see his racism. They vote for him because they see that everyone is racist, and so they are trying to maximize their opportunity in that context.[/quote]
