The rapper then followed up with two more tweets, stating that he “respects everyone’s opinion,” but will not be swayed by “peer pressure.”
I tweeted the John text to show that there are people around me that disagree with me and voice their opinion. I respect everyone's opinion but I stand my ground.

Over the past 36 hours, many people have voiced the opinions shared by Chance the Rapper. The idea that black people must identify as Democrats is faulty, affirm many people. Americans have furthermore taken to social media to state that people of color who identify as Republicans and conservatives are the “ultimate kryptonite” to left-leaning individuals.
Conservative people of color are the ultimate kryptonite to Democrats and progressives.
