(34,648 posts)Since I hate Hillary I was looking for an alternative. I remember her race baiting campaign. But why support a guy whose supporters condescend to you and bully and try to force teach you about civil rights and black history, things you already have learned? When they refuse to discuss racism and call you a race baiter and say they are 'color blind' when you can't be color blind cause you are of color? They ignore the things most important to you abd threaten to not support black lives, something you are living everyday they do not support your right to live. Why? Because their guy got heckled. They rant and rant about tge black peolle who go out everyday fighting for my right to live. Try to get a black man fired for doing his job? You so called allies so angry and vicious and nasty and threatening, when they bully and harass the black folks here and alert and alert and alert on our posts? How can I choose to be with those people? They don't want to stand with me as equals. They want me to shut up and want what they want because it will help me too, but they forget that I may not live to see the prosperity? They don't care. How can you stand with people who do not see you as an equal but as someone here on sufferance? An annoyance. Sonething to lash out at and lecture and belittle and minimize or ignore. How?
