None of this
NONE OF THIS!!!!
has to be like this.
But is because white people, down to the very spaces between their electrons, cannot handle a minority having more than they think they deserve.
Period.

Do whites have a responsibility to learn where it still exists & work to dismantle it? 100%
Will racism go away if we ignore it? NO Silence is Compliance.
Whites have privilege so we must USE it to fight FOR True Equality & not quit til it's DONE.
Silence is Compliance.
We MUST fight for their freedom & equality as if it were our own lives.

It’s still makes my stomach drop every time I see a photo/video of Harris. It is heartbreaking to think of what we could have had. How good and loving, compassionate and strong we could have been.
I keep deluding myself into thinking we as a country are who we are not. I guess I can’t fathom how these people think. They’re like aliens to me.
It really does not have to be this way.
There are over 700. https://handsoff2025.com/ Spread the word!
Millions know Kamala was the best candidate. We have her back & yours.
Millions demanded the White House put Jackie Robinson's military record back up.
We got after them for taking Colin Powell off the Notable list on Arlington Cemetery website.
Cory Booker is our hero too.
❤️🕊️
It's inevitable. They can't change. It's US vs Them. BS.
Kamala had 3.45 Million votes purged w/Jim Crow tactics. Add 75 Million. THOSE people ALL wanted her to win.
There is a KKK contingent that never gives up the hate.
The rest of US love y'all.
Drain pools, destroy unions, sabotage affordable education, etc. (The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee opened my eyes). Oh, and elect a scorched-earth destroyer instead of competent black woman.
Cory Booker has a chance in the current environment because Obama made it.
Quality men can handle equality, and there just aren't enough of them.
Not only was he a black man at the helm of the most important country in the world, Obama is an intellectual. A true role model for everyone, no matter the color of their skin. That is something they and their rotten leader, can only pretend to be.
And you know what, you're right. That was the point of putting it in a huge binder like that.
But so many of us tried to spread the message. Not enough people listened.
We tried to cliffnotes it.
IF not for HUGE Voter Suppression, Kamala would have WON.
78 Million are broken about losing this qualified candidate.
There IS NO biological excuse for Racism.
It's all about the choice to remain ignorant.
It's why KKK et all burn books & delete DEI.
BUT my objection is to it being some molecular issue.
KKK refusing a "black blood" transfusion. It's human blood.
Melatonin changes nothing.
Doh.
Mind you, a lot of it was! I do not deny that.
But a lot of it was that people did not know, and did not care, what the gov't does for them. A failure of education. A failure of information. A long-planned scheme to overthrow the gov't, laid out by the wealthy.

@ 5 yrs old a friend's "white is right" Mama told me My daughter can't play w/U b/c U play w/Indians & Blacks.
I apologized that I couldn't play w/her b/c her Mom was ignorant.
WIRma marched to my house, told my Mom.
My Mom agreed w/me.
My GGGma is Mexican. Is that Y?
*deepest of negro spiritual sighs*
They could also have blamed the election's outcome on men, the poor, the uneducated, veterans, or cis/het people. They'd be just as accurate and reductive. And counterproductive.
I think only an anti-racist white person can get through a racist white person.
Also, yeah, individualism is deeply misunderstood, yes.
Good Lord. D:
People really gotta be more empathetic to other people's plights. Stop being color blind like they thought MLK JR said, when he clearly meant that to happen once we achieved equality.
Hence white people being casually racist with other white people.
But yeah, my guy, it is hard. It is needless emotional labor.
But nothing gets past these white people. I, an articulate Filipino, would probably just be treated as a carnival attraction.
You're quite possibly the only people that can do it. If you want to.
I see more white men than white women subscribe to this kind of behaviour. That is only my experience and I hear that your experience is different.
Everyday I learn more history of racism & look for more ways to break the hidden hold it has on how we treat each other.
In my 20's I didn't know about Red Lining or Black Wall Street. I just watched The Six Triple Eight movie & learned about awesome women who didn't get credit for their work
But think these white people hate all poor people; or maybe all poor-er than them people.
…I prefer ‘cracker/ah’, thank you very much. :)

And everyone just shrugs like it's no big deal. For over a decade republicans have officially been a KKK endorsed party.. That Dems politely work with.
We could have so much better.
It's possible that some people never had a white person stand up for them. So how do they know we ever do?
Right now non whites are being disappeared. It's not fair.
And sadly far too many of the other 50% are blind to the racism b/c it doesn’t happen to them. Therefore, it doesn’t exist. Such a character flaw!
This just reads like straight-up racism.
And I'm white.
I’m pissed, too. To think we could have had Kamala Harris but we got this shit show instead. 😡
The biggest left wing swing this past election was college educated white women.
Anyway, uhhh, what was that got to do with this?
When you're the majority, you're grouped together.
I'll put this in a larger scale to put it into perspective.
Other countries now see America as a threat.
Not all Americans are bad but the majority voted for a dictator. Now we're all in that group.
BUT I refuse to let white people's lack of melanin be an excuse for automatically giving in to racism.
I see the good in others & expect US ALL to get this work done.
We HAVE been dragged back, but WE KNOW the way forward.
We all are doing the work, BIPOC included, you just need to stay in your own lane and right now you're drifting. BIPOC have never not done the work. It's our turn to take the heat; no more shields.
Before kids are taught to hate, watch them play together w/out division by race.
While the system oppressing minorities hurts them more, it spills over.
Even if it didn't, wrong is wrong & must be defeated, together.
Go work on that.
So many white people have respect for people of color. We are all in this together and dividing us now is bad timing. Since childhood I’ve believed diversity is our greatest strength. Let’s act it in our worst moment.
Guess the OP really should have specified SOME and not ALL.
But also, enough that people can and will make quick judgements.
Still, sorry the skeet that sorta wasn't meant for you hit you too. 😔
Because only bullies see this and go, "ah yes, time to double down and hate on minorities".
But again, lemme know if that's not true.
But yeah, for me, sometimes what a bully needs is not coddling but a good smack in the face from someone they respect.
But like with love, y'know?
Coddling anti-social people and bullies is how we got to today.
So in conclusion, I guess I'll be the bad fella, you'll be the good fella.
Posts like this is why America will never improve
No one is naturally, intrinsically bigoted, no one is biologically vile, thats eugenic

if you’re familiar with the expression (which falls far outside of the legal definition)
I hope this lesson will be etched in all future generations. Voter apathy is literally deadly.
Never again.
Like, yeah, that's the racist part, you stupid racist
I'm so damn tired of it all
I can't even imagine how y'all feel
Whenever I see someone saying they voted for Trump because of states rights, or inflation my mind immediately just goes..."no. It is racism"
They never do any introspection, or ask the question "Why do I believe this?"
insanely negative results......more incoming.
A lot wrong with that statement, but this gentleman says it far better than I do.
Shut the fuck up.
As a 'white people' myself, I never even considered that to be true.
Maybe I was brought up different.
Sadly, for way too many white people, that's it in total.
That's why the bigots absolutely flipped out when Obama was elected.
All that energy, spent on hate.
Very sad.

Automatic follow.
I live by George Floyd Square. Racism is STILL a death sentence for too many.
MY objection IS only about FACTS.
There IS NO biological excuse for racism.
& 78 Million voted for Kamala. 3.45 million were purged.
Hate when cute characters are just hateful pieces of shits.
What are YOU gonna do with your privilege besides choke on it?

I have voted straight Dem since Carter. But I left the South to be with Like Minded Liberals here in NorCali. 💙 Only a third of Honkys idiot clowns voted for that Orange Ogre Overlord.
