      He’s not wrong though?

      Was the % points change since 2016 and/or 2020 higher among black folks compared to white folks in the 2025 US election or not?

      I don’t think this is racism, though I appreciate I don’t get to make claims on what and what is not, and I don’t do this to point fingers, but if we are to move forward we gotta start with solid facts, including about uncomfortable things like that. I’m happy to admit I am wrong if I am and apologize.

      If my folk - LGBT people - voted for Trump more than straights, I would not go directly to finger-pointing and nastiness either, I would start asking some pretty tough questions to myself tho.

        Black people voted for trump even harder. He’s not wrong though?

        Whether grossly misunderstanding, grossly misrepresenting or grossly misinterpreting the data, I don’t know, but I think “wrong” is far more descriptive here than “not wrong”.

        Black people voted for trump the least of any ethnic group, by far, at 15%. Asian people 40%, Hispanic people 48% and White people 55%. “Even harder” is bullshit.
