11. A lot of ethnics can be and are racist

The number of black men voting for trump was insignificant and some people might think Clarence isn’t self hating. Donald J Trump did identity politics and got large swaths of people to vote to be deported and to blow Gaza off the map. The Democrats spoke of inclusion, the republicans spoke of DEI and it resonated with the racists in this country. Please stop excluding the majority of white Americans that voted for this mess. If the majority of white Americans would vote for what is best for this country instead of trying to hurt others we would not have the seesaw effect and we could make real progress.
