Having a Black male candidate on Trump's ticket could either attract Black votes or infuriate the black community, motivating them to vote against him

I've had political conversations with numerous Black men in Georgia who are disillusioned with Biden, particularly due to the current economic conditions. Soaring inflation and high interest rates have made it difficult to make ends meet. Despite salary increases, many Americans are struggling more now than they did before Biden assumed office.

Black women, however, for the most, hold a different view. Democrats have effectively portrayed Trump not only as a racist aiming to regress the progress of the black community but also as a misogynist who holds disdain for Black women. Moreover, opting for a Black male vice president instead of a black female vice president like Kamala Harris may evoke a sense of setback among black women. Historically, white Democrats have persuaded them that Black men pose the greatest threat to their success in America. This narrative traces back to the days of slavery. It is more probable that choosing a Black man for VP will mobilize a significant number of Black women to cast their votes against Trump.

Trump's popularity among the black community has grown substantially, particularly after his arrests. The "Trump is a racist" narrative isn't holding water anymore. The mainstream media won't tell you about how he opened Mar-A-Lago to Blacks and to Jews...and then pressured other private clubs in Florida to do the same. He supported Jesse Jackson's rainbow coalition, as well as Al Sharpton's initiatives. How many minorities found employment due to his real estate and business ventures? Trump was popular with many Black community leaders until he ran for president as a republican. And as president, Trump restored and increased funding to HBCUs, commuted sentences of non-violent offenders, reduced the unemployment rate of minorities and women to record levels and increase the media income among minorities to the highest levels ever.

@BizSuitStacy Not to mention, the significant number of African Americans he hired at his New Jersey casinos. Residents of Atlantic City were upset over Trump's departure. Thousands of jobs loss, and a substantial portion of tourism revenue. Despite the repercussions, they continue to support Democratic candidates who implemented high tax policies.

Sure, Trump has faced lawsuits alleging discrimination. It is a common occurrence for many large corporations in the United States. I can't say for certain whether or not Trump harbored racist views in the past or present. However, the bottom line is African Americans experienced more favorable conditions under Trump's administration than under Biden's focus on green energy initiatives, financial aid to Ukraine and pork spending policies.

That's about the size of it. More blacks are waking up.
