Should Activist Demographics Be Allowed To Veto Presidential Runs?
An online theologian insists that Trump should be denied the possibility of a second presidential term because certain activist elements of the Black community found the candidate to be “divisive”.
We are led to believe that Black people constitute about 10% of the population.
Like it or not, there were Black people that voted for Trump.
Thus, the percentage of Black people opposed to him constitute an even smaller percentage of the overall population in terms of ethnicity and electoral preferences.
So unless such a response is over fear of the tendency of this demographic to destroy property when activists of this extraction fail to get their way, why should the concerns of such individuals be given a disproportionate sway over American politics?
So does this piece of ratiocination proffered for public consideration by this online theologian apply to other contexts?
Should Kamala Harris or Michelle Obama be barred from even running for the Oval Office because a statistically significant number of White people find these political figures “divisive” to the point of harboring animus against the Caucasian majority.
