As soon as there is even a whisper of a possible Donald Trump presidency, out come this mysterious group of Black men, that wear boat shoes and khaki pants that don’t meet their ankles. Black men that don’t frequent Black barbershops that can’t wait to vote for The Orange One.
It feels like enough pieces have been written claiming that “Black voters could play an important role in determining the outcome of key 2024 elections,” as “This election is not going to be won or lost by the number of Black men that support or do not support , even though it’s going to be probably razor-thin,” Martin Luther King III“That’s where it seems like it’s trying to go,” he added.
It was a gotcha moment for the former president that lasted a current news cycle in which Black men who never liked Obama in the first place took this as an opportunity to hit social media to lambast the sentiment that there is apathy amongst Black men and voting. Truthfully, it was the murmuring from some Black men who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a woman because Black men still benefit from white patriarchy, but it wasn’t enough to be mentioned.
So this planted storyline, this sorry attempt to posthumously blame a possible wayward presidency on Black men is so Trumpian, it could be a page out of Project 2025. It’s completely made up. It’s not actually a thing. This is no mass deportation of Black male voters leaving the Democratic Party to vote for Trump.Thank you for your past contribution to HuffPost.
