I can’t believe people allow themselves to be drowned in their unsubstantiated hatred of another race or group of people. Why hate so intensely? Don’t they realize that supporting trump is backfiring for everyone who leaves his fold? I mean how do you rationalize his track record? They really don’t hear the truth and these are the very ones who will try to blame their misfortune on God when they are to blame for following and supporting a demon. But, this is what hate buys you. It’s never worth it.

I didn’t realize racism was such a problem until I moved to the United States. I have seen and heard some of the most awful things. It has always been disturbing for me. I have even been on the receiving end of racism. Americans can be very mean to minorities and I’m French. I proudly speak up against it and I have intervened when police have been unnecessarily called on a minority. Sometimes all they need is a rational none racist person to step up and tell them the minority has done nothing wrong. I do fault officers who immediately take the said of the white person against the black person, assuming black people are liars and naturally on the wrong side of the law. They are called but they need to be able to fairly assess the situation and to many of them are not doing that.

Coming from the wrong side of the race issue I can say, it’s blind indifference. Just a refusal to see what is real. I know how people support or justify supporting trump, especially the racist folks. You only hear things that support how you feel in your heart. I am glad I had a change of heart and I am so much better for it. But all of this is a clear insight to the mindset of racist people. It’s built on hate and half-truths. Alternative facts. These people only look at fox news and fox news isn’t really news if you ask me. Remember this is how Putin keeps his people in line, denying them the truth. The same with that north Korean leader. If serving a person is all you know, hearing nothing and seeing nothing else, you have no choice but to do what you believe is the right thing to do and wish for death. This is also an indication of how bad wealth is when used in the wrong way. It’s devastating.

I know it’s a scary place and I don’t like going out alone especially at night. I think the word is out now though because I haven’t had any more pullovers by the police. My pop put his foot down and we all know what happens when the king puts his food down right? :lol: :lol: . I’m just glad it’s being recognized finally. It’s not easy being black in America.

I have never understood this kind of stupid hate. I don’t take part in it, tolerate it, or condone it. I’m not surprised Mary did what she did. It’s not who we are and this kind of ignorance is hard to tolerate. I think for most logical people, seeing it so raw with trump in office, is a wakeup call. Although it brought some of the nasty snakes to the surface it has also brought those of us we oppose this kind of behavior to the surface as well. I think in the end, he’s not going to have a choice but to get the hell out of office. I think good always conquers evil and all of them are going to regret their part in what this administration caused. I also like how well the Bushes get along with the Obama's.

The racist situation is worse here in America. It is not like this in Europe, Britain. I’m a Brit and I was surprised at how bad it remains over here. We heard stories but I thought that was all it was, stories. It’s actually worse than I imagined. I find I worry about my children growing up here. I can’t believe how many people continue to support trump, it’s like they don’t see how bad he is and that’s crazy. It’s no normal to support someone who is so clearly corrupt. I have to agree with Mason, you can always spot a trump supporter in a crowd. They are always very overweight, the men have a lot of facial hair, and the women look like that head woman on The Handmaiden’s Tale on Hulu. Have you seen all the women in various parts of the world wearing the red drape and the white hobbit in protest of male dominance all over the world? We are sick of men telling us what we can do with our own bodies. That’s something else Mason said that made me tremble. If trump is left in office that is what they will reduce women to or try to anyway. Him and those evangelicals. That’s a very scary thought.
