Don’t listen to that writer. They are a DEI expert - that’s practically antifa. /s

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’?

Well I wouldn’t put it past him. He wasn’t shot by the police though.

It’s a right-wing Rupert Murdoch tabloid.

Trump has pretended that his arrest and mugshot increased his support from black electors (implying that it made them relate to him from sharing an experience far too common for them) so it wouldn’t be surprising he would do the same because he got shot (again, considering statistics)

I was pretty certain this would be what the article was about, wondering if a racist might respond to events with racism. Headline just went way too hard on exploiting rage for clicks.

Questioning if trump would try to use it to appeal to Black voters…

Apparently everyone is taking it to mean it would work and calling the author racist?

But there’s a very good chance trump does try this. Because he is racist.

It concerning so many people are confused
