Black Celebs You Didn’t Know Were Republicans

We all know the typical, loud Republicans like Stacey Dash and Ben Carson. But there are some celebrities who hide their conservatism. These Black Republicans don’t put their politics on blast (for the most part). So who are they? And are they voting for Trump? We hope not!
