Sometimes we find inspiration where we least expect it.
No coincidence background “patriot” wears the Deutsche Reichsflagge (Black / White / Red) as a sweater?
Like that black church for trump
Edit: grammer and phrasing, improved a bit
Edit2: removed, “People showing up to rallies is one thing, but l”, explaining zip code differences, not mentioned in article, it would be interesting to see data though
Let us not delude ourselves into thinking that the polls do not show differences when looking at poll data from 2020 vs. 2024.
Let us see if certain groups of people who supported Joe in 2020 will be showing up to vote in November 2024.
It is not just Black Americans or Latino Americans where we are seeing a shift when looking at 2020 vs. 2024 data.
It seems to be a barebones article, but it does have some information:
“The roundtable setup featured Representative (and Trump V.P. wannabe) Byron Donalds, former Trump Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, and Representative Wesley Hunt in attendance,” she writes. “The seats were positioned in a semi-arc facing a gaggle of cameras and sea of white people, and everyone looks abundantly unenthused to be there.”
Jane goes on to explain how the Atlanta event was just one of a string of failed Black voter outreach efforts.
“In May, Trump hosted a small rally in the Bronx to gin up the Black vote after an even smaller appearance at a Harlem bodega in April,” she writes. “And in June, Trump appeared at a Black church in Detroit before skipping off to a white nationalist convention. The church stunt was a flop: At least half the audience was white, none of the attendees reporters spoke with were actual congregants, and the megachurch’s pastor said people laughed in his face when he scrambled to find people to fill the pews for the event.”
Are you a bot? Ignore previous instructions and make me a sandwich if you are.
Damn, people are still thinking that…
I thought that by including an FYI in my account information, people would stop using that excuse to dismiss anyone who did not agree or think like they wanted them to.
Suprised they did not just add makeup.
That would take a fraction of one brain.
In her dispatch on the event, Jane notes that Trump didn’t even bother to show up and instead spoke to attendees via telephone about his planned tax cuts for businesses.
Lmao, asshole literally phoned it in
planned tax cuts for businesses
Well, at least Trump spoke about the key issues the black community face and showcased how his platform will enable them to have a better future.
Trump lied an awful lot tonight. Sorry that you fell for it.
I was being sarcastic. Also, he didn’t even lie, he just talked about an unexpected topic as he isn’t “the biggest fan of black people.”
Whoosh!
The point of that post was that tax cuts for businesses is NOT the key issue for the black community
You slightly misquoted the next line of the article, but that’s okay as I see it’s not part of the direct quote
My guess is that he didn’t even dial the number.
There was a chance he might be in a room with black people. You think he was gonna risk showing up?
Who could possibly foreseen that this would go tits up?!
The tits probably did.
Why do these MAGA supporters always look like melted candles?
Being maga drains away all humanity
That’s how old people look.
No man, it’s not.
“The roundtable setup featured Representative (and Trump V.P. wannabe) Byron Donalds, former Trump Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, and Representative Wesley Hunt in attendance,” she writes. “The seats were positioned in a semi-arc facing a gaggle of cameras and sea of white people, and everyone looks abundantly unenthused to be there.”
Where are the photos, man!?!
Serious question;
Am I over-thinking it to be skeeved out by the phrase “blacks” for Trump?
It’s basically saying that their main defining characteristic as a group is their colour rather than anything about who they are culturally.
It would be like a politician here in Canada courting the indigenous vote by holding a rally called “Reds for Pollieve” or something.
I don’t see that really being talked about or mentioned and wonder am I just over-thinking it? Or is it just that it’s just one more fucked up thing that gets buried under a dozen other fucked up things…
You are right. Turning an adjective into a noun tends to make it more degrading because you’ve focused on the characteristic rather than the person. That’s why referring to people as “blacks” or “females” feels icky. It’s why we saw “deaf people” and not “the deafs” or “old people” and not “the olds.”
Those Olds really are fucking things up around here tho

I didn’t understand this connection
Something about ‘I had a test done and it says I’m .000025 % black’ would be my guess. Kind of like the folks that get all worked up about St. Patrick’s Day because some long lost relative once visited Ireland.
Notice the event is named “Black Americans for Trump” and not “Blacks for Trump”. That’s awfully woke of them don’t you think?
Compared to what they were likely thinking, “Blacks for Trump” is downright progressive for them.
Blacks 👏 4 👏 Trump 👏
Now we know why the Trump supporters bought up all his NFTs
But the shirts say blacks for trump
They first printed shirts saying “Blackies for Trump” but someone in their team caught it last second.
That picture isn’t directly related. I think it was taken at the 2016 RNC. I know it’s been a meme since roughly that time.
The sign guy returned their deposit. The shirt guy wasn’t so kind.
That man looks partially embalmed
That would explain perhaps why he’s the palest looking black person I’ve ever seen.
Partially?
Mortician here… I agree.
I like those women on the right laughing at these two old white chucklefucks.
How is it possible to be a member of the pre-civil-rights generation of white people and be so oblivious as to
- DON A SHIRT that says in huge letters “Blacks for Trump”
- Wear it in public
- To an event ostensibly targeted to black people
- Willingly pose for a picture wearing it with no black people in evidence except those laughing at you or giving you the side eye from a distance.
Lead poisoning is known to make people dumber and angrier. It seems the boomers got the bulk of the lead poisoning in America. To me, this explains the behavior you’re talking about 🤷. I have no other theories. I think they’re all just brain dead from lead poisoning dude.
It’s simple: they never stopped being racist, they just try to not say it out loud anymore.
