As a conservative Republican, I can sit here all day long and say, “I do not hate anyone because of his skin color.” I want as many Americans as possible to have good lives and succeed, whether they are black, white, Hispanic, Asian, whatever… it doesn’t make any difference. Those people are not going to listen to me because I am a white conservative Republican.
Kanye is different because he’s an incredibly famous, talented musician who has credibility with black Americans. Does that mean they’re going to follow him like the Pied Piper? Not at all. People regularly ignore celebrity opinions. But, if Kanye can say he likes Trump and that we should listen to other people respectfully and try to engage them in dialogue, it sends a signal: “Republicans are not our enemies; they’re just people with a different point of view. It’s okay to consider Republican ideas.”
When you’re a political party that has a large group of voters who stay with it because of cultural inertia even though you do almost nothing for them, that is DANGEROUS. If one man stands up, more men may stand up and if Democrats actually have to earn black votes instead of just getting them by default, they’re going to be in a lot of trouble.
