C.J. Cary really loves Donald Trump. He has loved him for years, and he really wants him to be president. On Wednesday night, the 63-year-old came to a Trump rally in Kinston, North Carolina, determined to pass his candidate a note of advice: stop being so offensive on the campaign trail to women, minorities, and people with disabilities, or else “lying Hillary” will defeat him.
According to the Charlotte Observer, Trump spotted Cary, wearing sunglasses and a bright red shirt, after he had made his way to about 30 feet from the stage and began waving his note in the air while shouting “Donald!”

Oh, did we mention Cary is black? He is.
Anyway, Trump mistook Cary for a protester. Trump addressed him directly from the podium: “We have a protester!” he said, as you can see in this video at the 11:53 mark. Trump then said this to Cary: “By the way, were you paid $1,500 to be a thug?”
Thug! Thug. $1,500. Thug...

“I support Trump because he's honest,” Cary said. “You can work with an honest person and convince them their vision isn't in the best interest of everyone. You can't work with dishonest people. That's why I don't like Obama—the worst president in American history.”
I've worked with a small number of black men who seemed more friendly to openly racist white co-workers. When I asked them why they hung around those jerks, they made comments like, "At least they're being open about it. It's the ones who hide it that are more dangerous."
It's like they assumed all whites were racist, but only some of them were "honest" enough to show it.
