One of the many things I love about being black - no Trump family members at Thanksgiving [View all]

One of the really nice things about being black, is the fact that the odds have worked in my favor and I don't have to worry about any Trumpster family at Thanksgiving dinner.

In fact, unlike the ordeals I see described by so many of my white friends and acquaintances who are struggling to get through these days they must spend with MAGA family members, family holidays for me represent a wonderful, comfortable and safe respite from the madness. NONE of us can stand Trump and the only thing we disagree on is how long it will be before he's gone.

The dearth of black Trump supporters and the fact that most white people who marry into a black family are unlikely to be Trump fans means that we don't have to deal with any crazy Trump mess over the holidays - even if a random MAGA cult member happened to slip in and tried to start some sh*t, they'd get laughed away from the table so fast, they wouldn't know what hit them.

Trust me - you don't know shame until you've been laughed at loud as hell by everyone at Grandma's dinner table. And the only reason you'd still get any dinner at all - probably in the living room on a tv tray - is because Grandma tells everyone "Now, y'all leave that poor child alone. He never did have the sense God gave a string bean, but he DOES need to eat something."
