    Even the possibility of running into multiple right-wing black people at once in normal circumstances

    What??? People meet a lot of people in their lives.

        Given enough chances something unlikely will happen. That’s on top of aggravating factors, I’ve met quite a few right wing black people. I’ve also met quite a few left wing black people. You know, because I’ve met a fair few people in general.

          Sure, but in a way that just so happens to justify someone’s problematic political views? Again, extremely unlikely.

            The person works in construction, they probably have a lot of coworkers, construction workers are probably somewhat more likely to support Trump. No, I don’t think that’s very unlikely.

              Make one or two black coworkers, sure. But a bunch and all right-wingers? I doubt that. And frankly, I question your claims too.

                They said “several black co-workers of mine that support Trump.”

                Nowhere does that say a bunch, nor does it say all their black co-workers support Trump.

                And frankly, I question your claims too.

                Why?
