Gratitude to POC today.

[jmbar2]

Democrats need to own the "Democracy" brand just as GQP has appropriated "freedumb" And we need to listen more to our POC about how to do it.

I'm still smoldering at the republiqons' abdication of the rule of law. It's not just about hating T***p, although he is lower than excrement. He will be remembered as a lowclass criminal, who happened to con enough Americans to become president.

No, my discomfort is about the large number of white Americans joyfully and openly nullifying core values of democracy, justice, fairness, while wrapping themselves in the flag of the Republic.

POC have engaged for centuries now in ceaseless and sacrificial fight to make America live up to its ideals. POC have kept fighting, and developing brilliant strategies, as those in power commit crime after crime, flaunting and abusing their power to act unjustly.

I think about how I am feeling after yesterday's injustice, and marvel how any people could endure centuries of injustice with the grace and faith of POC.

I am white, and I am ashamed. I am here to learn from you, support you, and elect you. Show us the way forward to a more perfect union. A lot of "wipepo" have failed this nation.

5. Of course POC have ALWAYS had America's back, even when they were property!

America would not be America if it were not for POC, most WP were too fucking lazy to actually build the America they claim they created.

60% of WP are down with racism and fascism, that is the problem

6. It has never been more clear to me than now

I feel like I need to make amends for the rest of my life.

9. well glad you are finally awake

can't help you on how to make amends, we each have our own path in life to follow so you could always ask the very people you want to make amends with what they think would be appropriate.

10. agree!

7. Don't waste your time being ashamed. Work to dismantle white supremacy instead.

8. We can do both

Hitting rock bottom helps dislodge the blinders.

11. The putrid stench of racism is no longer hidden from sight.

The GOP leadership voted to acquit the cult leader of racism.

America's abject racism is laid bare before the world.

The world watched the torture and murder of George Floyd and white supremacists try to overthrow a legal election to make way for a racist dictator. Then the disgusting debacle from yesterday.

I too am ashamed of this country. And of white people who have let all of this continue.

"POC, show us the way to a more perfect union." YES
