Trump supporters are the same people who voted bush/cheney.
Or kids who were too young to vote but would have.


Not really no. Donald Trump won because so many people flipped from voting for Obama in 2008 and 2012 to voting Trump in 2016. A very large shift across party lines with a historic amount of split ticket voters.

Unless you have special interest groups, financing, and politicians supporting you, protesting is bullshit. It isn't a very effective way to get things done. Anyone that really wanted to change things, started their own army and led a revolution against an oppressive government. And you still need financing for that. Brute force > protesting

But once he got dre to vouch him he cracked both markets and became bigger than any black man on the planet, despite not being a tenth of the rapper eazy or biggy was.


that's a matter of opinion. From what i've seen a lot of modern day rappers respect Eminem as one of the greatest lyricists of all time.

do you really think he was only successful due to the color of his skin? that's simplistic and racist of you



for an example

No i think the color of his skin is why he is more successful than any other rapper on earth including people with more talent than him.

I mean people in the business will disagree with you but I guess that racist opinion comforts you

I go with professionals in the business and you go with a social justice warrior with great books such as "What if George Bush were a Black Man?" and literally no musical ability
