Well, he has some well known Black endorsers. But, not all of them have the same "reasons." Here, for ex., is an interview with them by a Black journalist. Listen to/for their reasons. Ok, ask whether you would agree.

Reasons this church gave for supporting Trump:
(1) Democrats haven't helped them in 50 years
(2) They don't believe any politician will really help them, gave the Moses to the Pharaoh answer, "Let my people go,"
(3) They want UN dual citizenship for the right to return to an Africa that has a new highway from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. They believe Trump will support the building of this highway across Africa because he's a good businessman.
(4) There are too many problems in the USA now that haven't been solved, such as the size of the prison system and the gang bangers in Chicago (they're in North Carolina), and choosing a businessman like Trump will help.
Did I miss any?
I think this is perfectly typical for most voters, who have vague notions of what their candidate proposes, and they somehow connect that to their own desires for a better life. It's hope and change mixed with prestige.
