(5,989 posts)It's been out there all day, so too late to change it. The original thread was written by a white person who felt that we should take responsibility for educating ourselves, and not burden POC with trying to educate us on racial etiquette. If you think the pushback here is bad, imagine if it had come from a POC.
Black America is providing extraordinary leadership in this historic change in America's trajectory. We can learn a lot from what these people and organizations have accomplished, over a period of decades, to be this organized and unified. It is truly impressive. And interesting from a cultural perspective.
I am thrilled at the positive energy of this campaign. Meanwhile, we still have 50% of white voters on the Trump train, and a tsunami of offensive comments flooding every media channel. We need to figure out how to improve on that. That's our challenge.
