    I know enough to know that black constructor workers are surprisingly rare and usually discriminated against. Though I cannot say this with confidence for every region. Like I said, your claims are vanishingly unlikely, but not impossible.

      What? How can you know it’s vanishingly unlikely then in the same breath say you can’t know for every region?

        It is vanishingly unlikely given what we know about the subject. Even the possibility of running into multiple right-wing black people at once in normal circumstances, given that they’re around 5-10% of the black population, is very unlikely. Combined with an industry where they’re rare to begin with, even more so. As a result, it is exceedingly unlikely that this story is real. But again, not impossible.

          What??? People meet a lot of people in their lives.

              Given enough chances something unlikely will happen. That’s on top of aggravating factors, I’ve met quite a few right wing black people. I’ve also met quite a few left wing black people. You know, because I’ve met a fair few people in general.

                Sure, but in a way that just so happens to justify someone’s problematic political views? Again, extremely unlikely.

                  The person works in construction, they probably have a lot of coworkers, construction workers are probably somewhat more likely to support Trump. No, I don’t think that’s very unlikely.

                    Make one or two black coworkers, sure. But a bunch and all right-wingers? I doubt that. And frankly, I question your claims too.
