"Blacks for Trump" -- Just saw the sign on one of the clips from the Jan. 6 Insurrection.

That day, when I watched t.v., I think I saw, maybe, 3 black men in the total of the melee clips that aired that day. Three, and they weren't together. Just, three men scattered in a sea of angry white caps. And maybe it wasn't 3. Maybe it was just two, and one of them was caught on camera twice. Hard to tell, with everything happening all at one time.

Anyway, I do remember one of them. He was inside the Capitol building and he had a bemused look on his face. Actually, it wasn't immediately understood as bemused. It was one of those smiles you see on the face of an introvert who holds up the wall at a party. They want to look like they're engaged, but you know they are way outside their comfort zone.

I always wondered what he was doing there. Was he infiltrating the group, or was it one of those moments when he realized he followed the wrong crowd?

man in a crowd of 10 thousand Q-Anon spouting, confederate flag-bearing white crazies, you should realize you're not in the right place.

and wondering the same thing. There was a small Blacks For Trump sign in the ocean of maga hats and flags and screaming white people.

The radical fringe activist from Miami once belonged to a violent black supremacist religious cult, and he runs a handful of amateur, unintelligible conspiracy websites. He has called Barack Obama “The Beast” and Hillary Clinton a Ku Klux Klan member. Oprah Winfrey, he says, is the devil.
Most curiously, in the 1990s, he was charged, then acquitted, with conspiracy to commit two murders.
