Why Do Black People Support Racists?
<p>Sen. Tim Scott’s recent endorsement of Donald Trump is a reminder that many politicians can be opportunists who are quick to take positions which are politically expedient. In this case, Sen. Scott recognizes that Donald Trump is the frontrunner in the Republican primary and that being on Trump’s good side may prove beneficial from him in the long-term if Trump were to win the presidency.</p>
<p>Sen. Scott’s support of Trump is also a reminder that there are Black people who are willing to overlook racism to openly endorse candidates with a history of racist behavior. By this point, Trump’s lengthy history of making racist remarks is no secret. His own niece <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/mary-trump-if-she-ever-heard-president-use-racial-slur-n1234119" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">stated </a>that racial slurs were commonly used by members of her family, including Donald Trump.</p>
