Maybe I'm being overly cynical and unfair, but why are so many white people are only now waking up? [View all]

Since black people and others who don't fit the normative "white" ideal of American society have been dealing with the likes of Donald Trump and the "Alt-Right" since...well, honestly ever since the ancestors of black Americans were brought here against their will through unspeakable coercion and violence.

And even then, a majority of white voters are voting for Trump. Just like they have been voting for Republicans in record numbers ever since Barack Obama was nominated and then elected as President.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that more of white America is seeing the light, so to speak. But still, I can't help but worry that it might be "too little, "too late."
