Who The Hell Is That Weird Black Guy At The Trump Rallies?

I've been everywhere man!

Every Trump rally in the South has to have a few Black supporters in the background. However, some started to notice this Black man in the background. He's always chuckling, screaming and raising signs saying "Blacks for Trump" and "Trump & Republicans Are NOT Racist" signs in the background.

It seems he has a name and he's been doing this stuff for years.

He is known as Michael The Black Man (aka The Blacks For Trump Guy).

Known as the perennial Black face at Trump rallies, Michael The Black Man (born Maurice Woodside) is a conspiracy theorist, Black Hewbrite and anti-Black activist. He's part of this Florida religious cult called the Nation of Yahweh.

He runs a website that I'm not promoting.

He is often an outspoken supporter of Donald J. Trump. He is often brought in to hype the crowd and troll the junk food media.

The photobombing is often a fixture of Trump. Whenever Trump heads to Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas, you'll see Blacks For Trump.

Woodside first met Hulon Mitchell Jr., better known as Yahweh Ben Yahweh, in 1980. Along with his brother, Ricardo, who joined the cult before he did, Woodside was reported to have played "a big role in the rise and fall of the [Yahweh ben Yahweh] cult".

His mother, Johnnie Simmons, was also a devout member of the cult; he later left the cult with his sister after his mother died. He was one of 16 members of Yahweh ben Yahweh arrested and charged with one count of murder and one count of attempted murder in 1990.

He was found not guilty of these charges by a Florida jury in 1992, although Yahweh himself was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

At the trial, Ricardo testified that he and Maurice attempted unsuccessfully to murder Eric Burke, a dissident member of Yahweh's cult, and that Maurice had also helped beat another cult member, Aston Green, unconscious.

Woodside subsequently became a rabid opponent of the Democratic Party, changed his name to Michael Symonette, and began a career as a musician. He later started a radio station, BOSS 104.1 FM, before reinventing himself as "Michael the Black Man".

He briefly came to media attention in September 2008, when he accused Oprah Winfrey of being the devil, and Barack Obama of being endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan, at one of Obama's speeches in Coral Gables.

In 2012, he spoke to the audience at a Rick Santorum campaign rally in Coral Springs, where he said that the Democrats were "the worst thing that ever happen [sic] to the black man." As of August 2017, he runs multiple conspiracy theory-promoting websites, including Gods2.com, which he frequently promotes on his shirt at Trump rallies.
