Trump's Ghetto Fabulous. And, for better or worse, he's surrounded himself with wealthy and influential black figures - from Herman Cain to Daniel Cameron to Tim Scott - and made a very deliberate attempt to present as friendly to black business people. He's running the GOP playbook on the black community, and hey look! It works about as well as it did on the white community! Something something, class interest.
I can't really blame young black people for turning towards the GOP, particularly in Midwestern states where the party just dominates the fuck out of the opposition. White Democrats hate you as much as White Republicans. Fuck it. At least you get to be on the winning team.
At least the GOP is making some token effort at outreach. What have Democrats done for me lately? Nothin'? K, bye.
The Kanye Effect.
