While that story is not impossible, it is vanishingly unlikely. I know that there’s enough racism in the construction industry that it’s a rare occurrence to even see multiple black people at a worksite.

I’m one of 5 white guys out of close to 100 other production employees, lol.
Have you ever worked in construction? At least here in VA it’s a healthy mix of latino, black and white
I know enough to know that black constructor workers are surprisingly rare and usually discriminated against. Though I cannot say this with confidence for every region. Like I said, your claims are vanishingly unlikely, but not impossible.
It is vanishingly unlikely given what we know about the subject. Even the possibility of running into multiple right-wing black people at once in normal circumstances, given that they’re around 5-10% of the black population, is very unlikely. Combined with an industry where they’re rare to begin with, even more so. As a result, it is exceedingly unlikely that this story is real. But again, not impossible.
Given enough chances something unlikely will happen. That’s on top of aggravating factors, I’ve met quite a few right wing black people. I’ve also met quite a few left wing black people. You know, because I’ve met a fair few people in general.
What region do you live in? I think that’s accurate for the Northeast and Midwest (even in the area around Detroit) but the black belt in the south is quite different.
It’s accurate for the West and Southwest too. But I don’t know enough for every region to be totally certain that it is the case. Therefore, I am saying that it is “vanishingly unlikely,” not that it is impossible.

What? How can you know it’s vanishingly unlikely then in the same breath say you can’t know for every region?

What??? People meet a lot of people in their lives.
Sure, but it is unlikely.

Sure, but in a way that just so happens to justify someone’s problematic political views? Again, extremely unlikely.
