(34,648 posts)I have lived an interesting life and have lived in the gutter so i know and lived that life. Most people here have not and do not know how young black people see the current leaders and view the parties.
I feel like it is better to know what someone thinks so you can add your experience to theirs and come up,with a clearer picture of the nation we live in.
And i guess i am trying to give a warning of sorts and let people know what we see and what weakness the party has when it comes to race relations. There is an effort to win back young college students and the other side is pumping millions of dollars into black colleges to appeal to the next generation of voters and leaders and the UNCF is working with the republican party and receiving money from the Kochs To entice our young minority voters. We are doing nothing to maintain our grip on that demographic and the hispanic population is a bit disillusioned. If i don't tell you, you may never know what they are thinking because they are not here. And we do nothing to make this place more friendly to minorities and instead alert us and call us racists and write long threads with hundreds of these posters that are in the majority population calling a black woman terrible names and racist and anything they can think of for days. Even though i apologized for hurting her two days ago, in the same thread a couple of posts later, i am still getting alerted and nasty posts. If this is how hard it is tell how i see the world and try to engage with democrats, i think we will have more problems than we think. I am just about ready to pack it in and move on. If they want me gone so bad, i may as well go see if i am wanted elsewhere.
