The sociological aspect of Black Trump supporters is fascinating.

Some genuinely believe that aligning themselves with white supremacy—the ideological backbone of this administration—will earn them acceptance, protection, or proximity to power. A seat at a table that was never built for them.

What they don’t seem to grasp is that in systems built on racial hierarchy, loyalty from the marginalized is never rewarded—only used. They become symbolic tokens, political props, proof-of-concept exhibits. Not partners. Not equals. Instruments.

And there’s a deeper contradiction: if someone is willing to turn against their own community to gain favor with a structure that devalues them, it raises a haunting question of trust. If betrayal is the strategy, what allegiance is ever real?

It’s a tragic performance. A gamble placed at a table where the house has never lost—and never intends to let them win.
