African-American DUers -- do you judge other AA Trump voters?

[WillyBrandt]

No nice way to ask this, but being on an anonymous message board helps.

For African-American DUers, do you especially judge others in your race who are positive (or neutral) towards Trump? Or do you not even view this through the prism of race: dumb is dumb, and a black Trump voter is as delusional as a white one?

I'm not black, so I feel it's not my place to judge AA Trump supporters. Black people have enough assholes judging them; the last thing they need is WillyBrandt adding his bit.

But I'm Hispanic. So, fair or not, I've no compunction about judging people in my ethnic slice. And when I hear a Fernandez or a Guzman or a Garcia talking Trump up (it happens), I basically lose my mind. Hola, pendejo/idiota/hijo-de-puta, this puto Trump is not looking to cut your capital gains tax rate: he and his mierda cohorts want you out of here.

(And don't get me started on how horrifying/embarrassing it is the two Hispanics in the 2016 race were Cruz and Rubio. Rubio is a silly mama's boy, and I doubt Cruz sees a reflection in the mirror.)

Anyway -- curious to know how Af-Am DUers think about this.

(And yes, I know black Trump supporters aren't plentiful. But they exist, as do those who view Trump and Clinton as they same thing.)

1. Also curious to know if other Hispanics (or Asians) judge others in their own ethnic group ...

3. this latino does

I find any that would vote for Rubio or Cruz to be an idiot, because both those two kiss Koch ass.

6. Yup

Latinos lining up for Trump deserve all the side eyes. He literally started his campaign insulting Mexicans (but we know Trump's crowd thinks all Latinos are "Mexicans&quot as rapists and murderers.

7. He's talking about those other Latins...

... not me, the good kind, really more white than anything. Have seen that many times. Maddening!

9. I'm ashamed of them...I know one (barely), and she's what's called "Una Latina arrepentida"

That's be something link a "remorseful Latina". These people are ashamed of their Latino roots, want to show every one they are red- blooded Americans -this one think her bleached blond hair makes her Anglo. I guess supporting trump shows they completely reject (other) foreigners, and they are true "patriots"

2. I love your cursing in Spanish. We have much the same reaction only we use English (Uncle Toms . .

opportunists, paid-for, no self respect, a-holes).

4. Trump = Republican

Black Republicans who want a Republican in office may feel as though they have no choice. Given my coming to terms with black Republicans, I can't be surprised when they take it to the next level.

Republicans are fanatically loyal to their party.

5. I certainly don't presume to speak for all black people, but my personal feelings run the gambit....

from outright hatred to general indifference to Trump & his black "supporters". I think Zora Neal Hurston said it best when she said "all my skinfolk ain't my kinfolk". That's how I feel about black Trump supporters, and indeed most black Republicans.

8. I haven't met one in person so far

Trying to find a sane black person who supports Trump is just like finding a sane chicken who supports Colonel Sanders And as far as my opinion on Black Republicans ? I don't like Uncle Toms, especially since I had my run in with the snotty ass officer kids growing up as an Air Force kid . I'd tell them to their faces every morning on the bus ,"I can't stand ANY of you moutherfuckers !" And guess what ? They NEVER started shit with me after that !!!

10. I don't judge them because we know what they are about.

Most black republicans have the financial means to be a republican. So they want the tax cuts and all the other trickle down policies repugs try to sell. Its all about money. Some black folks only care getting theirs and look down on those who haven't "made it out the hood" like them. I know first hand from family members that have come into little money and start expounding republican propaganda about democrats, welfare, etc.

I'll just add this. While obviously I don't speak for all black democrats. One of the main reason I believe black people are loyal to the democratic party is because we have worked hard to hold positions of leadership within the party. From the Presidential level to city council member. So when we hear them say, "what has the democratic party done to make things better for African Americans"? The answer is actually We are players on the field trying to make a difference even with the resistance from Republicans in state government and Congress. So while its easy to be a black Republican in the bleachers heckling the players on the field. We don't take them seriously because they haven't been on the field trying to make a difference. Instead of supporting a ConMan like Trump they should get out there and run for office themselves. Stop being Republican puppets.
