(8,387 posts)1. I remain flabbergasted by how ingrained racism is
It seems that a lot of white people are made uncomfortable by the mere presence of African Americans.
The fact remains that a majority of white people voted for Trump both times.

The fact that "not you" voted differently has utterly nothing to do with what most white people did.

Trump is a cartoon of whiteness. How he dresses, what he eats, how he talks, everything.
