I could also be completely wrong. Culturally many blacks like the sign of confidence over humility or compassion.

I don't think you're wrong, but we should keep in mind that no demographic is monolithic. There are differences of opinion and perception in every demographic.

I think Trump is appealing to some blacks for the same reasons he's appealing to many others. The guy is a known quantity, has very high name recognition, is perceived by the public to be a winner, and he's got a no-nonsense message that strikes to the heart of most Americans' chief concerns.

I don't think it's any more complicated than that.

I'm taking that as a joke because it's a platitude of monumental oxymoronic proportions.

But I liked the rest your post.
