Not even a controversial statement to say that if white people wanted this to stop badly enough it would. Not even a controversial statement to say that among the voting populace it is white people's fault it's gone this far.
And if you're white and that offends you it's because a hit dog hollers.

What else have you got?
What about enthusiastic support for an ongoing genocide of Muslims in Gaza? What’s that say about you as a person?
Fear, misunderstanding, and discomfort have fueled the backlash. But what if, instead of arguing, we listened? What if we asked, "How can we move forward together?"

You may not be able to control them, but you can make sure that you do everything in your power to fight racism and fascism. Every single time you see it you have to speak up, including family.
I'm sorry about your son and grandsons.
Also, do you get this energetic defending Black people against racism? Or just fragile white folks?
Democratic Party organization. We are Democrats.
This is not a time period for mincing words

"A hit dog hollars"
It was wrong when slave owners did it and it ain't helpful now.
Want respect? Try refraining from bashing your allies.
Always & never statements are inherently flawed.
I DO get the anger. White people MUST get in the fight & stay in it. We DO own the legacy.
I was active since Reagan. I relaxed w/Obama in office. He was qualified, dignified. I listen to his book to hear a Prez speak full sentences.
In a future when real equality exists, won't we all look at the facts & work towards solutions that work 4 everyone?
To me, that's Centrist.
I know 100's of years of progress has been shattered & we weren't as far as we needed to be.
But can't we just fight the bad guys & not each other?
DEMs have enacted aid programs that bring back much of what is spent out because R's kept shouting "fiscal responsibility"
Hearing that valid objection & adapting w/o caving is what I mean by Centrist. Open minded Leftist do it too.
How does WANTING it fixed MAKE it happen?
To solve a problem I have to know how it's broken.
You can call me names all day long, doesn't give me any info
Hoo boy brb grabbing snacks 👁️🍿👁️
I eventually learned not to let people treat me like shit. So sorry that offended you.
Doesn't mean I won't call you out for talking shit & putting blame out there when we all need to stay focused on the real problem, the KKK Oligarchs & Trump.
& being white isn't some magic super power. We definitely need to put in the work to get real equality going, but look at history.
English peasants were white. No power under Kings. It's a coup.
If you think it's not, you haven't seen much of how things go in its absence.
We can't stop fighting for justice; you're right. But why fight with each other?
Just call me Albedo Man.
I have walked kids home to protect them from bullies so white & tough, I get.
But as I understand it, it requires a solid 3% of the population getting out in the streets, calling non-stop. & it don't matter what color, just be there.
I just think the blame game is useless.
Gotta run to a protest. So if I don't reply, it's cause I need bot hands to hold my sign.
I will take any constructive feedback that helps me be a better person. This isn't that.
IF I had the power to change this by virtue of my white skin, I would. I can & will do all I can.
Waiting for training to block ICE from raiding a vulnerable school. That will be M-F once I am trained.
Signed up to Caucus so we get good candidates.
What else you want me to do?
They're understandably pissed at white ignorance & foul deeds but they want to see better things happen.
We listen & learn. Then look for solutions. No oppression.
But no matter how much you degrade me, I've been in this fight since I was 5.
Well, if we're supposed to turn left & I'm walking into traffic, OK.
😉
You are saying "DO what is right" Give me something to DO instead of name calling.
It was an attempt at humor to lighten the mood.
Geese. Eat a gummy or something.
It's the right thing to do.
Y'all deserve a good life even if you're grumpy right now.
Peace out.
Asking for mutual respect isn't fascist behavior.
Standing in the street w/BLM ready to take a bullet IS fighting for equality & I will keep doing it w/or w/o you.
I'm not the one name calling or cursing. People with FACTS on their side don't gang up on 1 person & cry victim.
Nah fam. I voted Harris and I'm with you 100%
Besides blaming all white people?
As if we all think the same & want the same things?
What do we call it when white folk say that about Black folk?
Racism.
That's what it's called.
You'd be wise to remember a LOT of white folk are fighting like hell to stop this. And to cut out the racism.
If all White people voted for a given candidate, that candidate would win
Same goes for all women, being the numerical majority of voters in every statewide and national election in America in the 21st century
Either group can simply choose who leads America by voting as one
In 2024 there were ~340 million Americans, of whom ~230 Million were eligible to vote, of whom ~152 million actually voted (a participation rate of 62.7% in 2024, down from 66.6% in 2020).
Less than 50% of Voters chose this… Less than 24% of all Americans…
Wanting to bring slavery back
A) Take no offense because the message isn’t meant for you and therefore simply scroll past without comment.
B) Agree and amplify the message because it is true.
C) Squirm uncomfortably because you felt a sting of recognition. /1
Find ways to call out your fellow white people because same.
E) Do NOT ask Black people to explain or teach you. /2
Understand /3
Sit with the feeling of exclusion.
Of not being trusted because of your race.
Accept it.

But here’s the data.
I said what I said 70% of the voting population is white.
That means 30% is nonwhite.
That is the math.
If you are making a “not all white people” chose this point - no sh*t, Sherlock

Liberal whites love to deflect and say “look at how more black ppl voted for Trump than last time”, while ignoring the fact that 55% of white voters voted for Trump while only 17% of black voters voted for Trump. And white voters make up over 70% of voters. So whose fault is it??
I really don't want to hear about the other 2/10 until the 8/10 are addressed.
There's only one race who understood the assignment
And it sure as Fuck was not them
Asking for a not friend who happens to be a 70+ year old occupation.
This is why Dems lost, that's not even a controversial thing to say, but I had to say it twice.
it's a big part of their platform
the left doesn't want to do any genocide
the right wants to do all of the genocide
the center thinks the only fair solution is half the genocide
which is still............. genocide
Anarchy < = > Fascism
I do not believe that I am in disagreement with the OP's sentiment, nor is what I replied with a disagreement.
And none of the rest of what you said has anything to do with the matter at hand. I believe you may have misread my post.
Nobody was talking about "fixing racism"
Jesus fuck, go back under the rock
Being actively anti-rascist doesn't absolve me of my internalized racism nor separate me from the in-group that I am born a part of.
But like you, I'm trying to talk to other white people about the issue being white and not leftists.
On the other-hand, in your reply the language used can be seen as qualifying yourself as separate from other white people.
I can see how someone frustrated with white people may outlet their frustrations
how I separate myself from the pack is by having a far left political ideology, which compels me to speak out against white supremacy and help demolish it
Ultimately, we (white people) are all part of the problem, and we should more directly own it imo.
Same problem community
The left is explicitly against supremacy of any sort?
Anybody who says otherwise is not on the left, just pretending.
Actual leftists are anti-capitalist, anti-class, anti-racist. Genuinely egalitarian.
Anybody can call themselves a leftist, but if they're as you describe, they're lying to themselves and everybody else.
If you are white and did not vote Kamala, you're part of the problem
Not because I wanted to, but because she was better than the alternative
But "the problem" extends much further than "who did you vote for" because the whole system is corrupt and only meant to prop up the oligarchy, and needs to be done away with.
So many white "allies" didn't vote for her, but want to tell us POC what we need to do now, and demand credit for something something "we're all in this together" as if they didn't stab us in the back
The UK isn't sending their best
Wanker
but they don't want something. they don't care.

They better build a fortress around Trumps grave or irs gonna be treated worse than Emmitt Till’s.
But if you look at the election results, THIS definitely was.
I would probably BE the person pointing out that it is not all men. I was raised to treat each person as a one person. Not a group
They even let him sit with them.
🤔😳😲😂🤣😂
They can choke on it
On the other hand:
No argument ever swayed them. They'd agree with every point, siding against Trump's own policies, then say, "But Trump knows better. He'll fix it."
I'm out protesting when I can, calling elected officials on a weekly basis, i do all I can, but yes, I still agree that more WHITE people should be standing up!!
Unless you mean you like how Wyoming doesn't have enough people to qualify as a state anymore, but has enough electoral college votes to cancel DC's vote
6 $tates pick the President not the zeitgeist
You may have knocked on doors and no one is discounting that. That does not absolve your fellow white Americans.
Let's see how THAT lands.
💥✊🏼🪧🦅🇺🇸💙🌈💞
Stay safe. I’m fighting for all of us.
And I’m hoping to see plenty more white faces in the streets. Love and strength to you 💞
This nation progressed, as far as it has anyway, in spite of white people.
I'm not saying there were not significant contributions by white folk but there has been the source of so much pain and suffering. They are selfishness, hate filled and the obstacle to equality.
It's them.
standing all by itself…
… I do (sincerely) hope it leads to healing to begin to say it out loud.
💦🙏🇺🇸
Those in power thrive by dividing and conquering.
The left is more susceptible because its strength is in its openness and diversity. Don't let that be exposed to their benefit.
The privilege of being able to just cut off immediate fam bc you disagree about what ConsParty y’all are culting for
I cant change your Dads mind. The person he invited to dinner was you *his wyt child* who disowned him bc tv gave him brain rot and you got yours via your phone
The only ppl who can deprogram the Right Adults, are their children. Cutting off the elderly only further isolates them and leaves them open for 24hr news to radicalizes them
Ppl in cities don’t want to understand why rurals vote right or why poor wyts everywhere identify with them
Media & white people must acknowledge white privilege is real, they benefit from it, and that liberal whites comfortable w/ racial inequity.
I didn’t even mention how white generational wealth was possible because of the free labor of black people
