Quote:I wonder how many other black folks feel the same. I appreciate your candor.

I can empathize for sure and I know of at least one friend/co-worker of mine who felt similarly. They most assuredly exist only they are quickly silenced and derided by their peers. That's honestly fairly typical of black culture, though. It tends to be more homogeneous than it may appear on the outside regarding many things.


We were talking about it today during a training class during one of our breaks. The amount of sheer vitrol directed her way for supporting Trump last night was, to me, staggering. She knew she'd get no hate from me. I don't hate Trump. I don't hate all of what he stands for (Pence is another matter entirely). I was a little saddened last night but after sleeping on this, I'm in a good place overall although I can't quite verbalize why that is.
