    When I speak to ordinary black Americans, they are mostly befuddled by Trump. They don't necessarily like him, but they're not freaking out.

        The people freaking out are these liberal elite, "Hamilton" types who think they represent every minority in the country. They don't.

        So do I. I'm saying the people at the forefront of the media-centric "freakout" are disconnected affluent liberals.

        I've spoken to dozens of regular black folks all over the county. Very few of them are "panicked" or freaking out.

        I'm always freaked out about unaccountable state power regardless of who wields it. That's why I'm a lifelong ACLU supporter.

        Right! Many black Americans have an ingrained sense of cynicism, thus they're not especially "freaked out" about Trump.

        Not cynicism, but a depressive realism which scientific studies show make our judgments more accurate.

        perhaps because they've had to deal with people like Trump for their entire lives in this country?
