Why your black friends are (probably) acting different for next few months (to years) - a brief bit of venting
I've been sitting on this for the better part of two years hoping to find the most diplomatic way to broach the subject.
At this point screw it, you get what I say raw and unfiltered.
Your black friends, family members, co-workers etc likely feel pretty betrayed by you right now.
Having Trump win because of a couple thousand voters in a swing state, eh we dealt with racism years.
@Hobyrim i have multiple black people on my Facebook. The raw emotion from those accounts last night and this morning was a lot.
@insomniacviolin Imma be honest. I was mostly used to the two Americas.
I am pretty good at spotting the key words that tip me off to who a person is.
But it's something about the sheer percentage of white people who voted trump this election that makes it all feel different, especially after how racist the campaign got this time around.
Based on the results from 24 hours ago, if I'm in a room with 10 white Americans, half of them sign off on mind boggling racism.
It's a bridge too far.
@Hobyrim I completely agree with you there. It's amazing how much Trump has let this dirty attitude thrive along with misogynistic attitudes. It's been like a run a way train with those attitudes ever since the insurrection.
