    A black guy was in my store recently saying he’s voting for Trump. I asked him why, he literally hates your people, and his response left the most twisted look on my face: “get money”.

    Obviously, I had no response

      Yeah, I was working with a black guy that had a maga hat. He eventually brought it up and I pointed that out. His reply? “He’s right, I hate them too.”

          Heh, no, just some dude that only lasted a couple weeks. It’s a black owned charity, staffed with mainly black people. He wasn’t fired on the spot, but he didn’t return the following week. We all now call him The South side Uncle Ruckus. The worst part is he was there due to the work requirement of receiving welfare. A lot of his political bitching was about people sitting at home, leaching off the government, and how this is what has ruined the black community.

            That’s different, he’s one of the good ones. He’s just down on his luck and going through hard times, he’s not a lazy freeloader just taking money on the government dole.

            Those are two completely different situations, don’t you know. One happens to him after all.

            (I’ve literally heard the first part verbatim multiple times in conversations like that. Its mind blowing how close they get to understanding.)
