1/ Must be easier for some folk to make Trump's Latinx support the issue (still only 1/3 nationally) rather than ask why white women supported him even more than in '16 as per exit polls (assuming they're right). White women and men are voting basically the same...
2/ We've learned to expect this from white guys. White supremacy & patriarchy are powerful drugs, after all. But liberal white women want so badly for women as a group to be seen as different, when politically, the white ones mostly aren't. "Sisterhood" is conditional...
3/ Once again, black women saved us from ourselves, and the country from us. If it were up to white people, David Duke would still be in the Senate from Louisiana (or Governor there), since whites (men and women) were willing to put him in either of those positions...
4/ If it were up to white folks, Sarah Palin would have been VP, and perhaps president if John McCain had won and his health faltered while in the job, because white folks (men AND women) mostly voted for the GOP in 08 too...
5/ And if it were up to white folks Trump would be president still...so for those liberal white folks who are pissed off it was this close, and wondering how people could be so stupid. Please note: not everyone is. It's us. The call is coming from inside our house...
6/ This is why we must prioritize racial justice and fighting racism in ALL our political work. Because it is racism, white racial anxiety, resentment and backlash politics that is keeping you up till 3 in the morning sweating PA and GA...It doesn't have to be like this...
7/ But it will be -- this emotional roller coaster, the stress, the divided government -- until enough of us decide we've had enough, and start listening to black women and voting like them. Unlike us, they've known what was best for this country for a couple hundred years now.
