They would be disproportionately targeted for retaliation and incarceration, for one thing.

Also, voting patterns have shown black Americans voting for democracy (and Democrats) in greater percentages than whites since Trump came upon the scene. White Trump voters betrayed democracy, but lack of sufficient white support for democracy allowed to happen. Now the most important and effective counter to white supremacy and authoritarianism must come from whites who value both democracy and multiculturalism if true pluralism with equality for all is to ultimately prevail.

At least, that is how I understand it after reading the disillusioned comments of black people after Trump was re-elected.
