in social circles with Trump, even as he has been taken to task time and
again for his racial if not racist language. There have been some exceptions
— Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover come to mind — but the relative
silence of the black establishment class has been chilling. Recently, I read
a national newspaper feature about Trump and his relationships with notable
high-profile black Americans. Interestingly, nobody really wanted to go on
record criticizing The Donald.
I’ve talked privately to some of Trump’s black friends since I read that
piece, and to a person, their critique of him is highly nuanced. Men and
women from black America's most privileged class, either genuinely like this
guy or they’re afraid of being caught in his social media meat grinder.
Those whose job it is to comment on politics have been strong in condemning
Trump, but those who earn their wealth elsewhere have been too quiet. In any
event, it’s going to be interesting to watch how these BFOTs (black
friends of Trump) support the Democratic nominee even as they try to remain
neutral on Trump. |
