Why are they surprised? Trump is racist af
Because they, like any minority that votes Republican, too often think that they're "one of the good ones" that will be spared the racism.
It's anecdotal for sure but the most racist (against blacks), biggest Trump supporter I've ever known was a ~70 year old black man who would routinely call young black men n***ers in public when they did something he didn't approve of.
You know Uncle Ruckus?!
My former best friend (for a lot of reasons, is former) was a black man from Florida who confidently would say how all of Africa's problems are due to their own incompetence and that people who speak African American Vernacular English are lazy. Dude also celebrated Biden beating Bernie in the previous primary.
At the risk of sounding insensitive, I'd argue that the average Black American is generationally so far removed from the African continent that their knowledge of post-colonial african politics is about the same as the average white dude. They're not granted any special insight on account of their anscestors came from there.
Sadly this person has been around the world as lot as his hobby for 20+ years was to travel internationally once a month and domestically twice. He had an agreement with the hotel he worked at that he'd work any shift they wanted as long as they gave him any time off when he wanted it. Sadly, even being exposed to culture doesn't necessarily make you cultured.
I could have seen that in his first term, but if they expected to be seen and treated any other in the second they might get their expectations adjusted.
Believe it or not, these are not necessarily the same voters. A whole new generation of stupid just joined the ranks.
Or, maybe they'll be the Token Black Republican!
Knowing they're personally hated by their party, and the only reason they are tolerated is because their existence "refutes" the palpable and constant racisim of the GOP.
One day, if they hate their own race enough, they can grow up to be the greatest Uncle Tom in history aside from Clarence Thomas!
The guy who spent so little time around black people on the campaign trail that they were forced to use AI? That guy?
He doesn't want them on his properties. Why would he want them in their cabinet? Take the hint, dipshits: You're volunteering to be a token for someone who hates you.
That does summarize the majority of their careers, though.
You mean as guests/customers right? I'm sure he has plenty mowing grass, cooking, cleaning ...
Leopards. Face, even
Perhaps.... Eaten?
Let's not jump to conclusions. This could just be a playful nibble.
Maybe they are eating it to even it up.
Perchance?
Black republican should be an oxymoron, but I guess they're just regular morons.
It's important to recall that anyone can be an idiot.
...but they're not a monolith !
You mean the guy who was so angry about a black President making a joke at his expense that he made his end-of-life goal to become the President just to get back at this guy because he couldn't handle that a black man could make a joke at his expense or hold a higher officer than him?
You get what you pay for.
It’s amazing what that press correspondents dinner joke has cost us.
Some days I wonder how much Obama regrets it.
Eh, donvict might have been planning something anyway since he was already king of the birthers at that point.
We are not a monolith!
Whaaaaaat? The man who was supported by racists and literal Nazis is not appointing blacks to positions of power? I, for one, am shocked. Shocked I tell you!
The Uncle Toms got a permanent seat on the SCOTUS, thats more overrepresentation than they deserve.
Out crowd learn they were never with the in crowd of the cult.
Did any of them try using a sizable donation?
Don't worry, one of you will get a token position in a department with "urban" in the title. Fucking dipshits.
Ben Carson, the stupidest brain surgeon, can tell you.
Herman Cain would likely be up next. If appointed four-day, he would roll in his grave... that he occupies after dying from COVID before posthumously tweeting that COVID was fake. Fucking dipshit.
HUD. Its always "Put the Brown person in charge of the housing projects... They know those people."
What were they expecting ?
To be acknowledged as "One of the good ones".
We told you so.
Tough shit and WTF do you expect from a bunch of racist neo-Nazis?
All those groups really didn't expect the leopard to eat their face.
Uncle Tom locked himself out of the cabin, again...
sitcom laugh track
gee big surprise!
Gee, I wonder why...?
Fitting typo
We need a new emoji to not-so-subtly show shock and also convey ignorance to the assholes who voted for this because they're fucking easily led and stupid, apparently.
Trump isn't giving you ALL of what he promised after he got out of jail and ruined any semblance of accountant for the shit he's done and now you're shocked because you're fucking stupid? 🏴☠️
Something like that.
Leopards ate their faces.
The only moral Black American is me?
Leopards seem hungry don't they
In other news: ABC news has begun reporting on the status of the drying paint on the wall
Have these black republicans tried giving trump millions of dollars to him personally, or perhaps hosting a TV show he'd enjoy watching? No? Then how can they expect to be selected?
Edit- just saying, Omarosa Newman got an appointment last time, and she only had to be on the Apprentice.
Oh, so DEI doesn't work here?
"Heaven forbid those with the right..."
Protect your faces everyone who didn't vote democratic...eventually even with only white blonde straight christian families that are left some won't be trumpy enough for the others and will get theirs eaten too. Theres always an enemy or outsider to fascists, it's never enough.
Why are you like this?
It's because they are.
shrug
