She can’t understand why I support Trump. She said I’m not poor, stupid or a hillbilly and she didn’t raise me to be a racist. And she gets enraged when I try to explain my reasons to her and starts yelling or hangs up the phone. Hopefully we don’t have to discuss politics 🙏

My daughter always brings up the Central Park Five fror her "Trump is racist" claim. Thanks Netflix.
What was that about, if you don't mind? Didn't find much on search.
Trump called for the death penalty for a group of black and Latino kids who were wrongly accused of a rape in Central Park. He took out a whole-page ad about it. They kids were later found to have been coerced into confessing and Trump never apologized (Trump never apologizes).

They were not wrongly accused. They were guilty.
A different person altogether confessed years later that he did it and their convictions were expunged.
