Hah, the article was removed https://nypost.com/2024/07/14/us-news/forbes-removes-column-that-asks-if-trump-surviving-shooting-will-appeal-to-black-voters/
The author mentioned Trump attempted to sway black voters after he was indicted on various criminal charges and his mugshot was taken in one of his cases last year.
“Hopefully, being shot doesn’t become a similarly problematic strategy to link Trump with an experience that far too many (not all) Black people have,” part of the column reads.
Seems like it was supposed to be sorta the opposite of what it ended up being.
Oh, so it’s a classic case of ‘any question asked in a headline can just be answered with no’?

Shaun Harper
A DEI expert
…i don’t believe you
Despite his name “sounding white”, Shaun Harper is a Black Man and a Biden supporter.
His take is still a bad take, but fixating on his name when there’s a picture of him in the article that would better inform you on this matter is also a bad take.
I included the name to call them out because they have a bad take and their one-line bio describes a DEI expert. Including the name was not in relation to any assumption in their race or anything else for that matter. But i appreciate the response since i can see how people might be reading between the lines.
The article writer is an idiot and you may be too. It says nothing about DEI expertise.
This is equivalent to dunking on scientists when a flat earther claims to be a “science expert”.
The screenshot here in this very thread specifically says that they are an expert
Are we sure this isn’t satire…? This reads very much like satire to me and I’m too lazy to look up the article to see for myself.
Any back or person of color that votes for Trump needs their head examined. If you think these people are your friends you are in for a ride awaking.
Edit: autocorrect did a number on my comment 😂 I like it and I’m keeping it!
Any person, period. Only extremely wealthy hoarders could make a sane decision to vote for Repubs, and that’s only if they care about short term gains at the expense of the planet.
For whom? Christofascists can laugh about it for a while, I guess. Less funny when they find out they’re condemning their children to resource wars under a fascist dictatorship on an increasingly inhabitable planet.
I guess they’re sociopaths, they don’t care. Ok, funny for geriatric sociopaths who will be leaving existence too soon to be affected by anything.
Back in 2016 I tried explaining this to a Hispanic guy I knew. Single issue voter, second amendment. Dude was a lost cause. Never talked to him again but I doubt anything has changed. Single issue voters tend to be simplistic fucking idiots.
“Or, Mike, take the firearms first and then go to court, because that’s another system. Because a lot of times, by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court, to get the due process procedures. I like taking the guns early. Like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida, he had a lot of firearms – they saw everything – to go to court would have taken a long time, so you could do exactly what you’re saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second.”
Trump is horrible for second amendment rights.
“this is pretty racist”
Yeah, so is he, so it would be on brand. I say 60% chances he will try exactly that before the election.
He already did in the last debate. Remember “taking black jobs”?
No? oh I guess it’s cuz Biden is old…
Good lord…
