(28 posts)I agree 100% that a lot of the trolls appeal has to do with a substantial portion or white Americans having serious issues with racial anxiety and resentment. I can't count the number of times that I've heard people say things that are clearly racist in support of trump. That said, I really wish people would stop generalizing. It's not right. I'm black and I don't like being generalized at all. We don't want to hear this but in Wisconsin barely half of the black folks eligible to vote actually did. The troll won Wisconsin. If somebody said this is the America black people in Wisconsin want because half of them didn't care enough to stop trump we would be legitimately outraged. I was at a rally where The President(Barack Obama) spoke and he told the predominantly black crowd to stay focused otherwise we would lose. Well that is exactly what happened. trump got about the same amount of the white vote that Romney did. This is not meant to absolve people of their culpability but the time for bs is over because the stakes are too high. White people are not solely to blame for the disaster we have now. Minorities share a large part of the blame as well because we saw who trump was and a lot of us just didn't give enough of a damn to vote.
