    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.”

        You work with Clarence Thomas?

          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.)

              It’s funny, both haha and sad. The first time I heard the “one of the good ones” line was from my racist uncle about the black guy he worked with. As the years went on it became apparent every black person my uncle got to know, at all, was “one of the good ones”. One time I told my uncle that every black person he ever really met turned out to be “a good one”, so, like, maybe that’s because he is wrong?

              That wasn’t the reason of course.

            Suppose he was speaking from a position of authority on the subject?

        What’s “it”? The fact that he was wearing the hat? If so, it’s weird to talk to some stranger and just say “hey, check out my hat”.

          I think they’re saying the black guy was wearing a maga hat, OP said to them what the top commenter said, “[Trump] hates your people”, and the maga hat wearing black guy said “I hate them too”.
