They were all paid actors or either laying low and avoiding making waves. No one wants to be the new target

It's nice to think that but 1 out of every 5 Blacks voted for Trump.

there is a big difference between voting and holding a sign strategically placed behind trump while he is rallying

Can you provide a source for that?

Other link said 80% voted for Harris but this says 15% voted for Trump. Still crazy high given Trump's previous history as president.

Ok, that's a percentage of black voters, not all black Americans.

If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.

I remember a black guy holding a poster of obama with a hitler mustache throught his terms near some the student union excalators. I mean there may be a non zero chance he was not a paid shill but it was higher than any random religion has it all precisely right down to the last detail.
