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.

Make one or two black coworkers, sure. But a bunch and all right-wingers? I doubt that. And frankly, I question your claims too.
They said “several black co-workers of mine that support Trump.”
Nowhere does that say a bunch, nor does it say all their black co-workers support Trump.
Why?
