On election night I recall the CNN anchors interviewing voters and getting "He's a straight shooter"/"honest" a whole lot. What's ironic about America is that working class White and Black folk are both weary of white-collar professionals telling them what to do. Strangely, neither group thinks of businessmen or other instances of rich people as white-collar (both groups express veneration for the "businessman"/"hustler"), as somehow closer to themselves and values than middle-class professionals (like Obama). Class underwrites so much in this country, but because class discussion has largely and for the most part been verboten since the 50s, we instead get this weird conflation of race and class. This gets even more interesting when you realize Official BLM is just the bourgeois representation of working-class Black interests and there are many many YouTube videos of those Black interests expressing exactly that[0]. Of course, people think all Black people must be one big monolith, both owing to de facto segregation and the loudest minority problem, (they simply don't know enough Black people) because that's what Bourgeois profiteers want you to think; just like how people still actually think there was an clear, firm relationship between the protests and the riots, as much as protesters want to claim there is in order to hold some vague threat of further violence when they in all likelihood were not also the ones doing the rioting and vice versa.
