(3,888 posts)as a Black man I wonder the same damn thing.
I mean hey, even if you derive some resentful macho bullshit satisfaction from Trump's phony ass tough guy shtick (though, for a 'tough guy' he sure as hell whines a lot)
one would THINK they'd (I say they so as to separate those of us who know better from the Trump supporting clowns)
have some sense of self preservation, knowing the likelihood of harassment, even death is higher for those of us who 'drive while Black' (as explored in John Oliver's show last Sunday).
And that Trump's rhetoric, as well as his stated intentions only bode far worse for us.
One would think they'd be insulted by Trump's racist rhetoric, like how every city will be like Detroit if Kamala's elected. A blatently racist piece of fear mongering if ever there was one.
One would think they'd figure out Trump's intent when he promises a day of extreme violence in so-called purges of America's cities.
And one would THINK they'd see the increase in hate based sentiment, whereby our youth (sons daughters grandkids) can't even play in a regional high school game without getting called the n-word by racist vermin manning the bleachers.
The flip side being, MOST of us are fully aware of the horrors to come with another Trump occupancy in the Oval Office, fully aware of the sentiment driving his rabid base of support,
and MOST of us have the common sense, the INTEGRITY, not to support that kind of shit.
But the fact is there are a few TOO many obstinate, mean-spirited, and deliberately contrary (if not willfully ignorant) Black men buying into Trump, for MY druthers.
And history, I think, will no doubt remember them for their treachery.
end of rant.
