Terrence K. Williams:
As a Black man who voted for President Trump, I sat back and reflected on the video everyone is calling racist.
This may disappoint a lot of people. I may lose followers for saying this. But I have to be honest.
I still stand with Donald Trump.
I’m not saying this because he’s president.
I’m not saying this just because we took photos together.
I’m saying this because I have personally sat down with him. I’ve spoken with him. He treated me like a brother. Like family. With kindness and respect.
That’s something you cannot fake.
And long before politics, he was embraced by many in the Black community. Oprah. Al Sharpton. People spoke highly of him for years.
For years, people have pushed the narrative that he’s racist. They even claimed there was a tape of him using the N-word. It’s been nearly a decade, and that tape has never appeared.
At some point, you have to ask if people are more interested in taking him down than telling the truth.
People also keep leaving out the context. That clip wasn’t even the purpose of the video — it was part of a screen recording about election issues. But that didn’t stop people from rushing to label him something I know, from my own experience, he is not.
I’m not going to let anyone pressure me into believing something I know isn’t true.
So I’m standing where I stand.
And if you can’t respect that I’m speaking from personal experience and honesty, you’re free to unfollow me.
