General Discussion

I disagree with the fundamental premise in his particular case. And the biggest reason I reject it is based on simple math/statistics. African Americans are statistically MORE likely than Caucasian Americans to self-identify as Christian, claim the religion is VERY important in their lives, and to report their church attendance at the 'at least 1 time a month' level. On top of that, his messaging is closer to what one would hear in a predominantly black-attended church versus a white-attended one.

To me this math suggests it's unlikely that for every white vote he gets, he's going to LOSE more black votes than he gains, as the guy in the video seems to be arguing. JT is in no way, shape, or form, conveying that he is a himself racist, nor does he seem to be pandering to 'the racist vote' in any way.

Thus, whatever white votes JT picks up by being his honest, good self, I don't think they'll come at the expense of losing MORE Black votes. I think the poster is annoyed that Talarico beat out Crockett, and is extrapolating that frustration out into directions I don't think necessarily logically follow.
