The report has shown four categories for the supporters. This is according to Mark Naison, a political activist.
The first is “down low segregationists.” These are people who leave a neighborhood because of diversity. These people say they are against segregation, but they aren’t.
Next is the group who admits racism exists. But they find some excuse to destroy the very comment they made.
The focal point is the shooting of blacks by police officers. Many of these officers never spend a day in jail.
Then there are those who choose chaos and voted based on entertainment. This group condemns the actions of Trump towards violence.
Carol Anderson is a professor of African American studies. She too had much to say about categorizing individuals.
Talking about Trump’s speech she said no one wants to own up to their mistakes. Anderson said “their complicity comes in the form of self-denial instead of owning it.”
The last group is considered those who look away. They tend to ignore all that is happening around them.
