This Woman's "Blacks For Trump" Sign Is Going Viral For All the Wrong Reasons

Oct 25 2016 - 4:46pm

During a campaign rally in Sanford, FL, Donald Trump stood in front of two people holding signs that said "Blacks for Trump." The GOP candidate turned around to read the posters and said, "I like those signs. Blacks for Trump. You watch — you watch. Those signs are great, thank you."

There's just one problem — while one of the sign carriers appears to be a black man, the other appears to be a white woman. Twitter quickly took notice and pointed out the irony. Here are some of the most memorable reactions.

Apparently it happens more than we think.

Folks noticing the white woman behind Trump with the "Blacks for Trump" sign... Happens often. Here's a photo from Las Vegas last week. pic.twitter.com/nyqS0nnucx [13]

Besides the Las Vegas incident, a similar picture emerged from a rally on Oct. 12 in Lakeland, FL. As CBS pointed out, it's possible that signs were poorly placed [15] by the Trump campaign and that his supporters got confused when picking them up. As for the black man? The Miami New Times reports that "he's a former member of the murderous Yahweh ben Yahweh cult [16]."
