The comments are rich - but proves my point. Folks are uncomfortable with "truth before peace". How dare a Black woman tell the non-melinated about some of their kind?

When will people finally speak up that the problem is white people, and unfortunately, that includes white women?

it. Experience has taught me that melanin trumps sister-hood among most white women. However, I think, as a Black woman, the majority of her anger should have been aimed at the 11% of Black women and 26% of Black men who voted FOR this abomination.

My humble opinion that no one asked for. Fire away.

After the last time this guy was elected I posted that this was a fight white people would have to take up with their family and friends. They were going to need to stop entertaining these people because as long as trump voters could live with no pushback in their social circles they would just keep on doing the same old shit. The prevailing thought at the time was we needed to "understand" them and "relationships" with these people were worth keeping. Blood is thicker than water was trotted out so often it made me sick. So, the illusion of normalcy was allowed to set in for those on the left and on the right they were given a pass to live their lives unaffected. Now that "family" and those "friends" have cut all of our throats.
