So when will white peoples’ hate for us burn out cause we’re clocking in at about 407 years so far.
Also the notion that love means being a doormat should be studied. Love is letting natural consequences occur and being open to moving forward.

Hate never wins in the long run. Hate burns itself out. It isolates. It self destructs. But love? Love builds. Love protects. Love lasts.

I really think that lack of empathy is critical element for right-wing thought. They can't imagine how other people might think or feel, so they just assume everybody else is like them. That's where "every accusation is a confession" comes from. "We'd do it, so the Democrats must also be doing it!"
A big part of the current right wing belief system is that everyone is actually just as bigoted as they are, and are only pretending not to be as a public performance ("virtue signalling").
They genuinely thought once they started doing open racism, everyone would join in

Always be the person who causes a fellow white person/cis person/het presenting person/bloke/etc etc to go "oh! ...er, well nevertheless" when they thought they'd be safe doing bigotry around you - that you'd agree & join in - and you in fact pushed back, showed them you're not in their gang.

This is a real thing but also as a POC I can tell you there's a hell of a lot more racism than white people realize. And the left is not immune.

Well, this is pretty much how it’s always been in the U. S. with whitefolks, and still is for a wide swath of ppl. I’ll say again that it’s only really different now b/c Black ppl aren’t the exclusive victims of what is happening. If so, the responses would likely be as they expected.

Gavin Newsom is a White man and that’s all they want and need.
Any White man will do as long as he’s White.
Democrats have already shown they don’t care what the primary voters want, they’ll just replace the nominee.
They were stuck with Kamala last time but they won’t make that mistake in 2028:

So where are all those protesters that keep harassing Kamala at? Hmmm?
Keep telling me how the man who's sitting here agreeing with Ben Shapiro should be the Democratic nominee in 2028. Is not the first time he's done some shit like this. It's not a bug It's a feature.

When I want inspiration, I listen to gospel music, read my Bible or watch a Ted Talk. When I want to make my voice heard and make sure things happen in my community that I cannot do as an individual, I vote. Y'all gotta stop wanting Hollywood warm and fuzzies from politicians.
I just don’t see how anyone can look at how things are going in this country right now and be okay with letting it continue because the other side didn’t “inspire them” enough.
