9. Rural - Urban or Racist - Antiracist

Sat Sep 9, 2017, 09:34 AM

Could be much the same. Rural folks may be more racist. Still, racism is widespread.

Older, white Americans are still suffering from the culture shock of a black President.

Because he was a great president, many whites are forced to think about white superiority.

A hater hates himself the most. They hide this by blaming others. Poor rural people crave a scapegoat. They hate themselves and their lives. They fantasize about a "Leave it to Beaver World".

America would be great if there were fewer blacks. Or fewer gays. Or fewer hispanics. Or fewer transgenders. Or fewer orientals. Need I go on?

Their support of Trump was a desperate crap shoot on a fantasy that does not and never did exist.

Barak Obama forced America to look into the mirror. It will be good in the long run, but America is suffering in its quake now.
