[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a mid-50s white woman, raised in the Midwest in a conservative family. There were/are closet racists in my family, though most are older now. Today, I live in a more diverse community and I’m politically active for moderate statehouse candidates. I would like to ask a question in this anonymous forum and I hope it is OK and respectful to ask:

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.[/quote]

They're like the white people who support Trump even though his policies and actions go against their own self-interests.[/quote]

Actually, what’s striking is the huge number of married wealthy white people with kids who vote against their self interests of paying lower taxes and repealing affirmative action.  [/quote]
