      Because they, like any minority that votes Republican, too often think that they’re “one of the good ones” that will be spared the racism.

        It’s anecdotal for sure but the most racist (against blacks), biggest Trump supporter I’ve ever known was a ~70 year old black man who would routinely call young black men n***ers in public when they did something he didn’t approve of.

          My former best friend (for a lot of reasons, is former) was a black man from Florida who confidently would say how all of Africa’s problems are due to their own incompetence and that people who speak African American Vernacular English are lazy. Dude also celebrated Biden beating Bernie in the previous primary.

        Or, maybe they’ll be the Token Black Republican!

        Knowing they’re personally hated by their party, and the only reason they are tolerated is because their existence “refutes” the palpable and constant racisim of the GOP.

        One day, if they hate their own race enough, they can grow up to be the greatest Uncle Tom in history aside from Clarence Thomas!

      The guy who spent so little time around black people on the campaign trail that they were forced to use AI? That guy?
