Finding the black man at Trump's "African-American Town Hall" is like a fucked up Where's Waldo

@brandonenglish @Bencjacobs the only person of color i see looks lost. Maybe he is?
The crowd certainly didnt appear to reflect the churchs usual congregation or the general population of Cleveland Heights, which is 42.5 percent black, according to the most recent Census figures.
The Hannity special is scheduled to air Wednesday night at 10 p.m.

I knew the crowd would look like this:
Coyotl
(15,262 posts)Someone who turned out to be 14% sub-Saharan African. You can bet most of the people in the room are also an unknown portion African in recent genetic origin, albeit they don't even know it either.
Your response is worth a chuckle, for sure.

(7,808 posts)And my user name has nothing to do with it.
I first chose my user name in 2001. I was signing up for another message board and when they asked for a user name, I was listening to the Proclaimers album Sunshine on Leith (excellent album, even if soft rock isn't your thing).
I have been a member here since February, 2010. Cobb started his takeover of Leith, ND, in 2012, and I don't know anything about it except what was on the news. I am very much against scum like Cobb, white supremacists, Nazis of all sorts, etc. and I hope that nobody compares me to them.

(1,016 posts)That's his base, older white people and all are on SS and Medicare and want to cut government spending. And with SS, you qualify for food stamps so I can assume most are getting that as well.

(740 posts)...it's a group of people concerned when they see African Americans; you just misinterpreted the stated reason for the town hall.
"Save us from these African Americans, Herr Trump!"
