He is probably pissed. He worked with Trump for a plan to invest heavily into black communities. Now he sees white libs celebrating and know that the dems don’t do shit
I feel you, however there is more to it. I'm not a white privilege person, because you don't get some prize for being white, but a lot of black people are put in a fucked up situation. And it's not fucked up by some form of system racism from white people. It's fucked up by the reductionist and oppressive nature of black culture.
Black culture reduces young black people at an early age to being black, it focuses on this quality above any other qualities of the individual. Some of this IS likely a result of generations of racism, but even as the playing field is leveled it persists. This is why Joe Biden's comment of "You Ain't Black" is so demeaning, yet potentially effective.
Since as children they are reduced to being black, as they age a HUGE emphasis is put on maintaining and staying true to that original quality of being black, which transcends skin color. There is a legitimate put down in the black community especially among children to say they are acting white.
Acting white includes things like dressing appropriately, being on time, doing homework, studying, doing good in school and not misbehaving. This may sound weird, but I'm not even joking at all, it is seriously something people will get relentlessly picked on and ostracized over.
So this is why that it's important that we encourage and celebrate when black people break out of the traditional mold and realize that they can be something besides black.
As an anecdote I have a friend / guy I went to school with who is black but always "acted white" and was constantly picked on at school ( I grew up in 80% black area). He now makes decent money and has a good job, but he frequently makes facebook posts in an effort to reaffirm his blackness. Things like how no matter how much he makes he will NEVER pay a bill on time. Georgia Power is going to have wait for their money. Which is so stupid because you aren't getting over on the power company by paying a bill late, they prefer it, because they add a late fee. He of course is a big Biden supporter, while many of the more stereotypical black people I am friends with support Trump or are neutral.
Next generation of minority blacks might be worse.i have little hope for latinos due to their high intermarriage with whites and their shared European culture.

He tried working with anyone who would work with him. Trump responded.
Jim Crow Joe made him wait.
The next gen of black and minority kids will be more conservative than the last
If we don’t fight back, it won’t matter. They’ll cancel out any gain we get from minority voters with fraud.
What about the white children? All I see here is talk about minorities.Whites should care about themselves.
Agreed. Tired of feeling shit on or neglected for being white.
I worry about them myself seeing how minorities are brainwashed to hate and even attack and kill them. it hurts both sides and only sows division.

The majority of Black people will be Republicans again, until Dems find some creepy manipulative way to "switch parties" again
I believe people can redeem themselves. If he's grown, then hopefully he puts his time and efforts toward good.
Don't knock a man for opening up to our side. Slapping them down is what the democrats do.
He doesn’t have to endorse us but the platinum plan is bogus.if the rust belt or Midwest brought that plan to any president, they will get rejected.
