    He’s most likely petty bourgeois or a vet or something. If he has a white (female) partner and is living in a white majority neighborhood, then he’s definitely a certain type of Black person.

    It’s not that unusual. Like, Black people aren’t a monolith who can recite Malcolm X or Kwame Ture speeches from memory. There are plenty of politically misinformed, self-interested, or mentally colonized individuals just like every other marginalized community.

      It’s a white neighborhood I suppose, but only technically via, idk, a 51(white)-49(nonwhite)% split. It’s St Petersburg, disston heights neighborhood, it’s pretty mixed imo compared to other neighborhoods. Again I understand it’s not unusual, but it’s weird (to me) it’s specifically Trump(probably easier to gravitate towards on name recognition, antagonistic towards Democrats, aligned class interests, yada yada), and yeah maybe there’s something like a white partner or military experience.
