I think some white racists felt their power has been taken away when Obama became president. So Donald Trump's victory makes them feel somewhat "empowered." (which is kind of sad really) They view Trump's presidency as a personal victory.
.
But still, what's this thing with Trump voters informing blacks that they voted for Trump? What are they trying to say?
Come on now. That's not a meaningless statement. They're trying to say something. Is it something that we aren't supposed to know? If so, then fine. I just want someone to come clean.

Nailed it. I wish more Trump supporters were as honest as you are when it comes to the ugly underbelly of some of his supporters who wish to turn back the clock and put negroes in their place after getting all "uppity" after Obama won in 2008. It's an ugly truth that many won't admit, but that element is out there.
Notice how a lot of the other Trump supporters came in here to talk about the idiot rioters after the election as a deflection from this.
This woman is obviously mentally ill and this wasnt her first time lashing out. Paying money for a bag is a city-wide policy in Chicago, so she must be broke, bitter, and angry and decided to lash out at blacks not kowtowing to her wishes because she's a white woman.

There is no doubt in my mind that SOME Trump supporters are ignorant racists, but you know how they are.
Don't pay attention to them. I kind of feel sorry for them honestly. I think these are very unhappy miserable people.
Like Bernie Sanders once said, "Most Trump supporters are not racists. They actually view unaffordable health insurance as a bigger threat than isis" I agree with Sanders. I don't think MOST Trump voters are racists, but some are. I voted for Trump because I cannot stand Hillary Clinton, also, I think Trump is anti globalism. So I like what he has to say.
Thank you for that. Too bad many Trump supporters out there refuse to admit or acknowledge this.
You said, "Yet another ..." Do you have other examples? And what do you have to say about the Hillary voters that are "going ballistic" all over the country, rioting and causing property damage, beating up Trump supporters, etc?

My interpretation, and I have had to deal with someone EXACTLY like this in my workplace:
First, it is not ALL (not even most) Trump Supporters, so I don't want to imply that, in any way. But SOME are doing these things to illicit a response. It is much like others have claimed that blacks (for example) might do something that they've been stereotyped as doing as a race, so that they can get a response, and then cry racism. I think some of the more extreme Trump supporters are doing this. Again, there's been a handful of them, but in a country of 300+ Million, it's not that many.
My guess is that these few people are trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy so they can "prove" that the world is against them, and that they need to take action. It is a way of justifying their extreme views.
While I'm not a Trump Supporter, I do understand that the majority of his supporters have legitimate reasons for their vote, and don't fall into this group.
What do you care? It didn't affect you, personally, so who cares.

I am not comparing this to the Holocaust, so don't even go there. I am answering your question with a short history lesson....
