I mean a non white America is frightening to so many, so we cant blame people for reacting with fear when their power is threatened.

And their power is not only being threatened, it is going to be taken, and soon. Not soon enough for me.

And by taken, I mean that over time the ugly and ignorant white folks will lose all power to the good white folks and non white folks.

Taken, given up, however you want to say it.
