And this is why I deleted Facebook off my phone. Every jamoke from college and my old job insisting their not racist/xenophobic/homophobic. Oh you’re not, but you have no problem if the president is. Got it.

The racists saw the invisible wink after the statement, and the “principled conservatives” can now pat themselves on the back for electing a bigot because “See? He said stop. I’m not a racisit!!!”

:::sigh:::

Thank you. I reread that sentence more than once trying to find a tangible object.

How close to 3 is she? I swear to God the day my soon hit 2.5 a switch flipped and he has gotten more hateful with each passing day. There’s pockets of that sweet boy I used to know, but then there’s days like today where I’m pretty sure parenthood is an elaborate, bad joke. But I hear there’s hope! I’ve a had a few…

And tears.

We seriously discussed being those people with our cash in a mattress.

Same. My son is one of two biracial kids and there’s a few Asians in his preschool. I desperately hope they cling to each other. I’m going to actively seek out their parents now to help facilitate that. I was lucky enough (as of in I rarely got targeted, mostly ignored) to be branded as “one of the good ones.” It took…

Same. The flight had a general buzz about it, plenty of us joking about the “nail biter” of a race. Then when we all got off airplane mode, the cabin went silent. No one moved. My intellectual, “you’re overreacting,” “there’s a solution to everything” husband could only manage to say our son’s name before he broke…

Please let me know when you’re floating away so I can get there in time. Don’t let this be VA; we’ll gladly take PA’s place.

Ditto. I was feeling better and then I saw the links to People articles. After their amnesia today, can we just exclude them forever?

Thank you for disowning your friend. I have (had) a dear, dear friend who befriended a couple who’s husband apparently does the same (I’m black. He’s never said anything to my face, but apparently at a few get-togethers at her house, he has no problem letting the n-word fly). Instead of banishing him from her home,…

As a Black woman I’m waiting for my bus to the inner city to come collect me from my suburban home. I’m assuming when I hear the shaking of the tic tac box, I’ll know my ride has arrived. Bus fare - 2 gropes.

Right. Even in spite of your Latin American immigrant wife and biracial children.

Take all my money.

I know. Seeing her just reminded me of all the shit such an upstanding, strong, Black family had to endure and how it will be replaced with the immoral, conniving, racist, bigoted Trumps who won’t face an ounce of it.

Can I be a member in absentia? because seriously.

I wish I had more stars to give you. Please know that though you feel abandoned, you are not alone.

Agreed. Post after post by people I went to college with,who’ve gone on to do quite well, and have been quiet all election season, came out about racism and economic ruin and the media and domestic terrorism...at the hands of Obama. I just....
