Why Some Blacks Vote for Trump

Black people who vote for Trump are mentally challenged and they are losing.

That was my reaction to an article I read. Surely they have lost their minds.

What black person in their right mind would vote for a known racist? What other issue would trump that?

Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube have lost their minds. They’ve also lost me as a fan. They have money. So why would they sell out?

Rap artists have turned to Trump. I think we were forewarned of their bad judgement through the use of the word “nigga” in so many of their songs.

Black folks should strike that word from their vocabulary. It makes no sense to use an offensive term in reference to yourself.

Black folks you are sending out irrational and self defeating messages.

You can’t blame the white man when you do that.
