…LOL. Jack Black wearing a red hat. Great google search you’ve got going on there. You’ve got a black woman wearing a red BLM cap. Several white dudes. A black woman wearing a white BLM cap. Kayne. Tom Hanks. And plenty of photos of Nick Sandmann. On my computer with my settings I only saw Kayne wearing the hat: I gave up scrolling after about 50 photos.

Best. Cite. Ever. Really proved your point. I’m so knocked out.

I see facts. Not sure what you are looking at.

Do you want to MAGA? If so, what do you believe MAGA is?

Thanks Banquet Bear, I saw much the same, but didn’t (and should have) pointed it out.

In a defense of Jack, that hat says Mage America Rage Again… and from a parody site against Trump.

Google Vomits are not very effective indeed because they also give sites that undermine what the poster is trying to find evidence for.

Reported for hate speech. Not that it matters. Apparently the mods here don’t think it’s fair to hold black people to the same standards of decency as everyone else.

There are probably only about five people on this entire board who voted for Trump. If you weren’t such a fucking pussy you’d be spewing this hateful shit directly to Trump voters.

How nice that having someone drum in your general vicinity while you smirk at them, but don’t beat the shit out of them, while your friends openly and racistly mock that person gets you a PR firm, praise from the President, and a circuit of talk shows. It also gets to mobilize the right wing who practically piss their pants in their rush to the internet to tell everyone how horrible it is to be a rich white kid in America. It’s fun that this story gets the most play and the most SDMB right wingers involved, but real important stuff like the Mueller investigation, the shutdown, a President that suborns perjury, and the flight of any grownups from the White House barely gets a notice. Priorities indeed.

All I was trying to do was to show a number of black people wearing MAGA hats, and that’s exactly what the search shows. Of course it also shows some white people, and other things google thinks has some relevance to the query, but it shows lots of ordinary black people wearing MAGA hats. That’s what was asked for, and what I provided.

And no amount of parodies or white peop,e in the list ‘undermines’ my point, because my point was that black people also wear MAGA hats.

Nice try at deflection, though.

…my search showed one black person wearing a MAGA hat. ONE. And Kayne is anything but “ordinary.”

When I clicked on your link, there was literally only one black person in a MAGA hat, and that was noted lunatic Kanye West. Every other picture was either a black person in a red BLM hat, or Jack Black in a parody MAGA hat. While I don’t actually doubt your contention that Trump has some black supporters, it’s sort of hilarious how completely your cite failed to demonstrate that.

Anne of Green Goebbels headlines LA event celebrating black people leaving the Democratic Party. Went about as well as you might expect.

Occupy White House couldn’t have found a better distraction for his Trumpeteers if he had planned it himself.

What’s the matter? Does it make you feel bad about yourself when people won’t do what you tell them to do? Does it bother you when people think for themselves? How dare they? Don’t they know that you have feelings, too?

fyi - This thread is about Covington Catholic High (in case it hasn’t been mentioned already)

You ass-u-me a lot of shit that isn’t true. I’m obviously the “me” part of that word. I guess that makes you an ass. Better luck next time.

I just asked you a question is all. I’m genuinely curious if MAGA means anything to you. And if it does, what is it?
