African American

(2,074 posts)2. I agree with you
I'm white, but it bothers me that (after an election in which the KKK's favorite candidate won with a message of racial hatred, when racial/ethnic minorities are rightfully worried about what will happen to them under this new regime), all eyes are turned to white people's angst. I mean, I get it, since it played a role in the win. But I tend to want to reserve my concern for those who are adversely affected by all that white angst.
On edit: I hope it's OK that I posted here. I did not realize the post was in the African American group until after I posted. The thread had shown up on the front page. But I still want to say, it's not just you.

Yep. But they can't stop demographic shift. It's going to happen when they like it or not.

I think a Trump presidency will crystallize priorities for many, but the price to pay is still high.

The ones that really irritate me are the ones who use the term "working class" as a slam.

Black people get the same treatment the Republicans gave the religious right for years.

LOL! I'm sitting here at 18 below wondering where I'm going to be able to find the bucks for heat.

Especially when you consider that nothing Jeremiah Wright said was all that outlandish.
