Seen from the other side the Atlantic, the most amusing part of the story is that there are black republican...
It's one of the strangest phenomena in politics. On par with Jews who joined the Nazi party.
Lol. Honestly what do they think is the endgame here?
Is it possible that some of these Super PACs are bankrolling black GOP candidates in order to influence and leech away black folks' support for democrats?
The tin foil hattiness of that question is obvious, but somehow it makes more sense than black people joining/supporting the GOP.
They exist, they're all rich. The amount of wealthy folks I've spoken to that don't really agree with any of the republican platform but vote republican because of their tax bracket is too high... Like you talk to them and assume they'd be a Democrat, but nope they have some money so they vote republican.
I've become so cynical since 2016 my first thought after reading this part was " you get what you pay for I guess." I want to feel more empathy but all of us are adults here and responsible for our choices.
Republicans aren’t all racist towards black people in the same way that all democrats aren’t all racist toward white people. Those who are racist against black people are likely republicans however. This is a problem with the two-party system. The whole point is to win over voters, and a vote is a vote no matter what
