Democratic politicians “are not invested in the black community. They’re invested in keeping power,” former BLM leader Mark Fisher said.
Mark Fisher -- who co-founded a Black Lives Matter chapter in Rhode Island -- is voting for Trump for the first time this election, after a lifetime of being a Democrat.As the 2024 election nears, Donald Trump is making major inroads with a particular voter demographic: black men.
“During the protests in Providence, I led from the front, putting myself at risk and putting myself on the front line,” said Fisher, who organized two major marches. “But our enemy is not white people. Our enemy is the over-zealous government.” As for Harris, Fisher said, “Kamala Harris is even less popular than Joe Biden … The worst possible thing for this country would be Kamala in the White House.”
Fosu, who lives in Washington, DC, and is the executive director of the Diversity Think Tank, said Trump’s pro-school choice positions are more aligned with the black community’s interest.
