I know that there’s enough racism in the construction industry that it’s a rare occurrence to even see multiple black people at a worksite.
I’m one of 5 white guys out of close to 100 other production employees, lol.
Have you ever worked in construction? At least here in VA it’s a healthy mix of latino, black and white
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

The government says ~5% of the construction workforce.

Unless something has changed radically in the last couple years.
What??? People meet a lot of people in their lives.
Sure, but it is unlikely.

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