28. I have said this several times

The more recent democratic party has made the country move forward a few feet, where as the recent gop party has tried to drag us back a mile. But the only reason there has been any change is because black folks have died and shamed the country into doing something. The dem party responded more progressively.
My thoughts on the social programs that were put in place have been woefully unhelpful frequently.white people have spent all these decades avoiding reparations and look at the cost. Black Americans were not granted the benefit of the full citizenship that whites have experienced. This is still in effect and most of what white America has tried to do to correct this has not worked out real well for black america.
I'm an old white woman, voting 3rd party is not an option for me because out of all the people who are on the ballot, Hillary is my 1st and best choice. I was never a Bernie supporter but I would have happily voted for him if he had been nominated but I don't think he would have been able to radically change black lives. But I see hope in the future that started with actually electing Obama. This country is going to have a white minority pretty soon, change is coming.
