An industry we built. So the pot farmers in legal states are using 13 year olds to sell it on corners?

The only thing that has changed, if you could call it change, is the fact that what’s coming could negatively impact white people (rolling back abortion rights impacts white folks, as will the elimination of the ACA).

I think white hippies were selling shit tons of weed before the 1980's.

As a white man with capital/savings who is seriously considering opening a grow operation with a black man running the day-to-day....

I think it depends on what side of the country you are on. Back in the 60s on the west coast it was guys like this who were planting and selling.

an industry that we built

The former is what led to this situation, I think.

Well, you have two options. You can bitch about white people and shame them or you can work to get more of everybody on your side. The former is tempting, I understand. I feel it too. But nothing productive will come of that route.

I’m not tired. I’m awake. We keep trying to pretend like white people didn’t do EXACTLY what we knew they would. The only part of the strategy that didn’t work was low turnout with latinos and blacks. If they came out in Obama’s numbers HILARY WOULD BE PRESIDENT. All that had to happen was WE SHOW UP LIKE WE DID FOR…

Why? She’s spent the last several months being a leading contributor to the echo chamber that left us all shell shocked on Wednesday morning.

I’m tired of the narrative that its all white people’s fault. White people voted as FUCKING EXPECTED. Trump didn’t drastically improve white voter turnout over Romney. The only thing that changed was black and latino turnout, and a surprising amount of black and latino’s not showing up to vote and a surprising amount…

I used to live in an area of Pennsylvania that had a KKK branch. When I was in 4th grade a black boy in my class came in and told a story to our class during our history lesson. Apparently he had been out playing and walked across the empty field behind his house and ran into a KKK meeting- he ran home and told his…

I think the white supremacists are going to be in for a rude awakening. Electing Trump into office and “taking back America” doesn’t actually mean what they hope it means.

Spot on and yes, its the smugness and condescending language and almost cliquish bitchiness of the academic left. Nobody wants to have their words policed by some self appointed neo Victorian finger wagger. WTF happened? I’m 38 years old. The country didn’t think or act like this 20 years ago.

I posted this earlier:

I have to agree. The push-back is against polished career politicians. It’s against educational elite snobbery (I’m college educated I’m ashamed the way non-traditionally educated people are treated by the educated liberals, just look at the SJ movement). It’s against health care that is still not working. It’s…

I don’t know. Tell me if they would’ve voted for the Jewish guy. If the country’s as backwards as mentioned, why do you think they would vote for a J-O-O? You fight fire with fire by getting yourself a rich (richer?) white man and go from there.

Keep telling yourself that and miss the point why you lost the election. This isn’t push back against Obama. It’s a push back against polished, lifetime Washington politicians,

But how can anyone blame you for trying to make yourself feel better? I’m just so tired of liberals picking at each other. And it gets so petty on Jezebel. I mean, look where that’s gotten us. But I’m on vodka #5 so what do I know...  

By yelling I’M SORRY you are making this about you and that is not helpful. People have other things to think about right now than telling you it’s okay they know it’s not your fault etc etc.
