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.

Okay
Yea... everything is so black and white to Democrats.
Racism is not a topic to be gray on.
Nor for white folk to harangue and bully poc on, either.

There are Craigslist ads before most of the "rallies" -take it fwiw.
That is BS and it has been debunked, friend. But, keep spreading #FakeNews.

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.
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.
