In reply to the discussion: a woman whose anger needs to be paid attention to [View all]electric_blue68
(17,993 posts)179. Right now it's bc Black Women are feeling incredibly betrayed.
Pain can lash out all over.
It's uncomfortable to be on the receiveing end.
I'm almost sure; excepting for Black Women Socially Conservative on Choice that they may have expected more white women to have voted for Kamala because of the Choice issue!
In time she might be open again to converse w white women. Or not.
