7. Funny thing about affirmative action we have to remember

is that white women are the biggest beneficiaries of all disenfranchised groups though 67 percent of them oppose it now and most white people think it benefits PoC the most...lol, funny how the wealthy take the lion share and we fight over slim pickings. I think we can only fight the hateful types with making facts great. I hesitate to say make facts great again because they've never really been where we're concerned. But we still have to keep drumming the truth until enough of us exclaim "wrong" loud enough and vote.

But I do worry about what happens when 45-turd administration is done. This isn't the first, second or third time, since the end of the Civil War that there's been a big call for unity with PoC shafted after things settle, the status quo/"normalcy" continues, and the process starts all over again within another 30 to 50 years in this pirate culture. But can't focus on tomorrow when there's so much to do today.
