"Is that being racist or is it an economic issue?" Without knowing more, I'm inclined to go with both. "suddenly flipped from voting for a black man and four years later " There was about 18 months of endless media coverage of non-stop racism from Trump, not to mention his 7 years of birtherism, so it wasn't very sudden.

Racism and ignorance go hand in hand. There was a 46 point spread between Trump and Hillary among the most uneducated people in the country, many of whom are also racist. The solution to both is education. The solution to our social problems is more education. People cannot solve problems they do not understand like not understanding social science.
