Why do Blacks give Hillary a pass and not Trump?
1. Not all Blacks give the Dems a pass. Some are far to the left of Hillary and the Corporatist Dem Establishment. Some are to the near right or far right of the left. Avoid generalizations.
2. To many Blacks, skin color and gradations of skin color are significant. For some there is a difference between light skinned and dark skinned Blacks. When they see/hear a few of the anti-immigrant voices go “racist” they generalize in the same way the above headline just did and think all Republicans/conservatives are the same. If Republicans don’t like tanned Hispanics then they sure must not like darker skinned Blacks.
3. Many Blacks (and many non-Blacks) identify my-team vs your-team. Just as GA hates AL and FL; Just as Sox and Cubs hate each other, so rival teams in politics hate each other.
4. Most important. Even when Blacks were Republican prior to the New Deal, they had a different view of government than abolitionist white Republicans (like my tradition).
Abolitionist Republicans see government as the problem in slavery. It was government, the sheriff, etc who enforced slavery and did not observe:
“all men are endowed with certain inalienable rights...life, liberty”
It was government that created Dred Scott. It was Nat Turner and volunteer abolitionist state militias that forced the evil government into finally doing something about slavery. That is the abolitionist view.
But Government is the Solution. That is the view of many Blacks. They don’t see the private action of Abolitionists and the private action of the civil rights movement as the solution. They think the government and politicians freed the slaves. So freedom comes from government; not from God or natural law as the abolitionists believe.
Reagan said: Some think government is the solution. Others think government is the problem. Many Blacks and many Republicans/convservatives are on opposite sides of that basic philosophy due to their cultural interpretation of history.
I suspect that this dichotomy is lost on many whites from the Southern culture, and on many whites whose ancestors came here long after the Civil War.
Avoid generalizations.
But don't ignore election results and crime statistics.

Which literally makes THEM racists.

The term "anti-immigrant" is RATaganda, just like "anti-choice". The reality is, conservatives are anti illegal-alien. So what's racist about that? Exactly what race is an illegal alien? "Mexican" is not a race, nor is "hispanic".
The blacks should be mightily pissed off that Central-American illegal-aliens have taken millions of low-skilled jobs that they should have access to.
If Republicans don’t like tanned Hispanics then they sure must not like darker skinned Blacks.
Who said Republicans don't like Mexican immigrants and their offspring? Answer: the lying RATs.
Many Blacks (and many non-Blacks) identify my-team vs your-team.
Once again, institutional racism, and group identity politics. This was brought about in the 60s by the Soviet Union and American Communists. (See: "Liberation Theology")

No, it was the democRATs.
They think the government and politicians freed the slaves. So freedom comes from government; not from God or natural law as the abolitionists believe.
As they've been indoctrinated (divide and conquer) by the communist RATs. Some even believe Lincoln was a democRAT.
>>Many Blacks and many Republicans/convservatives are on opposite sides of that basic philosophy due to their cultural interpretation of history the deliberate (and racist) RATaganda campaign leveled at blacks for decades.
