Because I'm being called Trash for not supporting Oprah or Obama; as if their skin color is the only reason I don't like or support them. I dislike them for what they say, do and the positions they support; not because of their skin color.
Now why aren't you asking similar questions of liberal AA Sock Monkey?

What other explanations are there though? The overwhelming majority voted for 45 because he ran a campaign filled with hate and fear. 45 is President because America has a digusting problem it wants to keep sweeping under the rug. Plain and simple. I think there are people who voted for him for other reasons. I personally know several people who voted for him on the sheer basis that he was promising anti-abortion Supreme Court Justices. They are not people I would consider racist. However, the mere fact that they could tolerate such a vile person and his vile statements without speaking out against him/them...says otherwise. They may not be overtly racist, but they're willing to accept racism for a certain price, and I'm not OK with that.

Here's a list of AAs I'd support. How many of them would you call "Uncle Toms's"? Republican AAsDid you read the list? There's more than a couple dead dudes you'd be willing to support. Don King would be an intriguing candidate but at 86 is just too old for me to get behind no matter what his politics. My personal favorite on the list is Lee Walker. Although it's a bit confusing that a 42 year old Welsh (white) snooker player would be included in the Black Conservatives.

They couldn't be bothered that he is racist, sexist, and does not uphold the values that many of them feel are "good Christian values." People who support him may not feel that they are racist, but they are totally ok with his racist views. Sorry, if you are going to lay down with a racist dog, you are going to get up with fleas. Then there is another type of Trump supporter. One that supports him because he isn't black or a woman. I can't believe in this day that we still have so many racist and sexist Americans.

50 Cent sounds like a great Presidential candidate. Certainly far more qualified that that Obama guy. What a piece of crap he was.

As an aside, I wish Condi would reenter politics. I didn't agree with all her decisions, but there's no question she's an intelligent, compassionate woman who cares about the country.

No, you're trash. And you keep putting up trash as examples of exemplary African Americans. And you do it solely so you can scream "racism". And this is precisely why so many people are no longer concerned when people like you call them "racist". When we're racist people ever concerned that people called them racist? President Obama is a far better a human being than 45. No clue what barometer you're using. Didn’t take long for our resident racist to chime in as usual. #notLauren has a long history on this board of racism.

Take your racism mantra and shove it. It's tossed around casually just so that you can try to either shut someone down or convince yourself that your own ugly words are somehow warranted.

You said it was a list of conservatives you would support. What did I twist? What point did I miss?
