If enough people are saying it then it must be true, right? I think that rather than him thinking every white person is racist he's more a victim of groupthink. I hope the OP's talk with him caused him to look up why he thinks Trump is racist.

I chalked it up to the years of brainwashing that unfortunately seems to happen in the black community. He backpedaled a bit when I challenged him but didn't come off it completely.

We both golf, drink beer, weld, cut up and have a good time. Politics isn't a part of why I golf with the guy so I'm not going to let a stupid political disagreement that lands us in the same place ultimately anyways keep me from having a good time with the dude.

Something that's "common knowledge" like that among almost everyone he knows can be tough to counter. He may well be the type that has to look into it then chew on what he finds for a while.

Still, that someone who believes Trump is racist is still willing to vote for him because he sees the good Trump has done as President... that says a ton because polls seem to indicate he's not the only non-white person planning to vote for Trump this year.

I'm fully expecting this Presidential election to look a LOT like 1996, just with the parties reversed.

worked with a sweet black lady for 10+ years.

when presidential campaign was underway with Hitlery & Trump she slowly started insinuating that Trump was bad for the black community.
she watched/listened to many social media clips and formed her opinion from these sites. all left leaning socialist propaganda.
major media included.
claimed our taxes would be going up and blah blah...
Trumps a racist, blah blah...

all this before election results.

people choose where to get their news & opinions.
everyone hears and comprehends on different wavelengths.
the education system has done a great disservice to our country and the effects of it are staggering.

hence; MAGA. Bless God America.
