I stopped reading after this. Racism was waning my ASS. White America voted OVER 50% for that jackass while being the largest voting block in the country. It's white ppls fault.
How the hell do you fix anything when you ignore with whom the problem lies? White ppl are the ones who are overwhelmingly conservative regardless of class and education. Everyone else has this shit figured out except for a few dumbass latinos who thought they were white and are QUICKLY realizing they're not
you don't have to ignore with whom the problem lies, you have to keep going.
that's not the end of the puzzle. that's not a solution. it's only anger and blame. demographics aren't a goal or an answer. they are a guidepost with which we can do further research.
pointing fingers does nothing. we need ACTIONABLE solutions. otherwise you're just spreading hate and division. the who is useful to figure out the how and why. but if you stop there all you're going to do is incite blood feuds.
ok, so WHAT'S THE SOLUTION.
if it fully falls to the feet of a race and i an to blame, what's the solution?
reeducation camps?
people's skin color didn't make them this way. to believe that IS racism. no matter what direction it's pointed.
I'm not saying white people didn't vote overwhelmingly for Trump. I'm not saying it's not their fault. I'm saying that assigning fault is inherently the wrong strategy. it's not a solution oriented mindset. it's just anger.
so, that's why i say we need to focus on the HOW and the WHY not the WHO. yes, the who can help us understand the how and why, but it's not the end of the path. it's just lazy to get to "the white people did it" and stop.
and would you seriously argue that racism hasn't gotten worse in america since 2015? because as bad as it might have been, it's gotten so much worse. the political right finally figured out the internet and are using it to turn as all against each other.
