In my experience the more successful a black person is the more likely they are to be conspiratorial to reconcile their success with their ancestral legacy (How could black people have been slaves for so long, when I have this much potential? We must be native to the US, etc.), and the conspiracy world is often antisemitic, homophobic and enamored with Trump. Remember when Kanye said slavery must have been a choice to go on for 400 years? That strain of thought did not originate from him but is instead a whole political movement.
