What did they blame on them ?
A lot of Trumps campaign was about draining the swamp in Washington D.C and bringing jobs back to USA..
He did talk about illegal immigration but it is an issue. Many black Americans aren't fond of illegals .
I think the problem is a lot of stuff got twisted and mainstream media and liberals made it seem like Trump was racist .
Many people are easily manipulated if they keep hearing things like that .
It was not about draining he swamp originally. He only said that after his victory.
He ran a heavily populist campaign and the first thing he talked about was building the wall.

Not exactly. I don't think Trump is all that racist, at least not deliberately. I don't think some of his best friends are black people, but I don't know that he's actively racist.
However. The hardcore racists are Trump supporters. Read carefully because I am not going to repeat myself. I am not saying Trump supporters are racists, but I am saying that racists are Trump supporters. THAT is why he has that label and that perception.
I have relatives who are racist. Cousins...and siblings. And I have a sister who has been married to a black man that she has been with since 1977, a businessman with a professional career whose sons have Master's degrees and families and middle-class lives...and all of a sudden another sister, a Trump supporter who would elbow you out of the way to be the first on line to lick Trump's boots, feels it's ok to go back to using the word n*gg*er, which she has refrained from doing around the family for the most part for maybe 20 years or so. This is what people are seeing. This feeling of boldness that it's ok to flaunt their hatred, to say things like call our President's wife an ape in heels.
It's not OK. It's filthy. It's not a misunderstanding because of what the media does, it's the reality of the ugliness of some people's hearts bubbling to the surface, and for some reason, it's connected to what those people see in Trump.

The website's "rigged system" won't allow me to rep you again.
That's an excellent post that goes right to the heart of the issue.
"Co-owner Daphne (Wanda Sykes) helpfully takes to the whiteboard to illustrate who she blames for Trump’s win: “White women!” This turns the focus on Dre’s colleague Lucy, who is asked to weigh in on why her “sisters” didn’t “turn out for Hillary.”"
Wow it's just so hip and trendy to insult whites and hate Trump!..

I agree with you. I doubt if he was racist that he would have put a black woman in charge of his foundation many years ago. I think she's had that job for more than ten years.
Racists tend to vote Republican. Is that surprising? People who put foreigners needs before the needs of Americans tend to vote Democrat. Is that surprising?

I doubt she's using the "N word" because of Trump, she's probably agitated by all of the BLM folks and the various riots that have happened over the past couple of years. Trump probably just tapped into the anger that was already there.

If you had actually watched the show and followed the conversation, you would know that was a setup to Lucy's response, which was a well-thought-out explanation as to why she voted for Trump.
But it's just more fun and exciting to prance about reciting one-liners against a "them" than to follow a respectful two-sided conversation that was written to give a voice to all sides, right?
