    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.

        @mtracey if you think the only people freaking out are "liberal elite Hamilton types" then you need to talk to a hell of a lot more people

        @mtracey end of the day, you may not be a Trump supporter, but you support trivializing people who oppose him. Kind of shitty of you

        @mtracey If black people resorted to "freaking out" every time #WhiteSupremacy reared its ugly head, black people wouldn't be today!!

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

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