In the wake of Trump’s motorcade driving through the Atlanta ghetto - in order to film a few black people cheering for a conservative - we’re once again seeing a bunch of conservative talking heads rehash the same tired bullshit about blacks waking up to the corruption and degeneracy of the left. These pundits are claiming that black support for Trump is now at 20% and climbing!
Nonsense. The reality is that we have a cottage industry of black content creators, influencers, and reactors who promote conservatism not for a black audience but rather for a white conservative audience. Because white conservatives are absolutely terrified of being labeled racist, so black creators are ready to cash in with content that serves that demographic.
Blacks are never going to support republicans.
Like I said, I don't expect any changes for voting in immediate future but my latest interactions with the black community have been positive.
I just bumped into a black guy leaving an elevator at night and he turned around to yell at me "Jesus loves you".
A black woman chatting me up at a bar had to take a break for conference call on running your own business.
Imagine white liberals doing either of these things. Unheard of.
Something is shifting culture wise there. It might not translate into votes just yet, but I think it can be cultivated and gives me a lot of hope.
That totally happened.
