Black people told y’all that race was the foundation of all of this bullshit. And as usual we were dismissed, condescended to, and told we were wrong. And yet this administration keeps showing us what time it is. Just an observation.

The problem with thinking that it's just about race, is that white people voted for whiteness against their own interest thinking whiteness protects them from oligarchs & greedy pedophiles. Race, religion, country of origin, language, sexuality, gender, etc all used to divide & conquer It's working

Yeah, I still want to know what happened to all those women who supposedly registered to vote at Taylor Swift concerts. Did they simply not show up on Election Day? Or did they choose being white over being female?

How does pointing out the obvious fact that a majority of white Americans ignored Trump/MAGA/GOP racism and racist motivations,dehumanizing to YOU? Serious question. Because it’s a fact that we keep telling black Americans they’re overreacting, yet overt racism persists…because of white people.

It was obvious way, way back that race was the foundation. The ppl supporting the swings further and further right all had race on the agenda. Their purity test is visual. The less white the skin, the less "human" they considered us. Immigrants were easy targets. Now they are aiming for others.
