12. Never, especially lately...

I know no group is a monolith but it makes my heart sink when I see people of color support Trump or anything that right-wingers espouse.

For every white person I get to pay attention and agree with the issue of racism (I'm white), as soon as a black person essentially denies that racism exists, I lose 20 people I thought were coming around...lol.

Same thing when Latinos support Trump.

I know I'm responsible for educating white people and standing up to racism/supremacy/privilege, but I gotta say I'm at a loss as to how to respond when this kind of thing is thrown in my face. Honestly, I don't even know if it is my place to respond. It confuses the hell out of me.
