"approximately 13 %–16 % of Black voters supported Donald Trump in 2024, an increase from around 8 % in 2020.. higher share of Black men (around 21 %) voted for Trump"

So, while not significant as a whole, it's still in the millions. I wonder how those millions of black people who voted for Trump think about this.

By your thinking, black men had an absolute obligation to vote against Donald Trump -- complete unanimity, one hundred percent vote against Trump no matter what?

By your logic, do you hold white women to the same standard? Do you ask about the majority of white women who voted for Trump three times? Did white women owe Hillary Clinton one hundred percent of their vote?

Before you utter one word about black men, clean your own house. What's next -- attacking the eight percent of black women who voted for Trump? White Americans created this mess, not blacks. Own it.

I’m applauding your comments PP.

Black women — at 92% and Black men at about 79% — had the largest percentages of any demographic group voting for a single candidate: and that candidate was Harris. This voting pattern is an extremely strong statement. It’s not reasonable to expect any demographic group to vote in 100 % unanimity. This is especially true of a group as diverse as African Americans: educationally, economically, and even culturally.

It might be interesting to better understand the 21% of the 12% — but numbers that represent a small fraction of a very small fraction of voters, spread out across 50+ states and “states” represented by their Electoral College votes is not what got us here. Personally, when I see comments that focus on the Black voters for Trump, I’m more curious about why the commenters are not more curious about the repeated efforts to distract us from the still unraveled Epstein files and the obvious downhill slide of Trump’s physical and mental fitness.

To get at the original question though, I don’t personally know any Black Trump voters, and I can only guess at their demographics as a micro-group. I’d imagine, though, that many of them believed at least some of the hype, and are learning the hard way what it feels like to be used, yet again, by a white supremacist who feels very comfortable using people to get what he wants.

If he is going to erase the history of slavery--and other topics--from national parks and museums, then I am going to buy and hold books on the topic and expand my own knowledge.

Thank you for the inspiration, Trump!

And thank you to anyone who is documenting the exhibits before Trump ruins them.

He can try but will fail. There is no way to erase the history of slavery unless he can zap the memory of the world.
