There was another article with a break down of who voted and where using the historical context of how each area was colonized and by whom. What I took away from it was another "seeeee allll racists aren't in the souuuuuuutttttthhhhhh".
I know pretty damn well the racists are everywhere. I'm sure every brown person in this country knows perfectly well where they are. I'm sure the racists know where they are as well. So who the hell was the history lesson for NY Times? and why are you being so very, very extra about it.

Also:That how to talk to racists article, come on, COME ON. OMG, COME OOOONNNNNNNNN.
Before you say a single word, think of all the times you made an assumption about a stranger that proved to be untrue. Think of the times you found yourself feeling uneasy in the company of strangers of another race — think about how you were forced to interrogate that uneasiness. Think of the plank in your own eye.
To begin a real conversation about racism, start there.
Really, honestly and truly? With all of the evidence right there in the open we are at the pat them on the hand and say it's alright, let's have a dialog? Yea, ok while I'm worried if a random stop at night by the police is going to end up with me dead?
While I'm concerned that the country, no the world, is going to end up deader than a door nail due to the policies they vote through with their bigotry and hate.
You're saying that sane white folks should pat their racist brothers and sisters on the hand and tell them that it's ok. Let's have a nice little fireside chat and eventually sort this through????
