Since it's live it's kind of hard to point to a 're-watch this' part. But the section I was able to watch had the woman doing something I keep getting told isn't allowed to happen in the opposite; she was talking about the 'White experience'. If a White person talks about how blacks lead their lives, doesn't the narrative tell us to not only ignore that person but to also see them as some kind of bigot for assuming they understand the experience of another? So for her to explain that only "uneducated and poor" (they sure do like to pretend that only stupid people would follow trump or any other candidate they don't support) Whites support Trump and the reasons they are misguided for it should fall into this same category of ignorance, right?
She also went on at length about how the only reason she believes that people support Trump is because they're White and he's White. If that were true, wouldn't we all equally support Clinton and just be caught in a tailspin? Just because so many blacks seem to only consider skin color when voting doesn't mean Whites do. Obama made two terms, and while I regret being a factor in one of those terms, I voted for him despite or skin color not matching. The only way he made it into office is because a lot of Whites voted for him. But no, we really just vote as a group for White candidates only; good call cunt.
It's that exact shit right there that over time has lead to me disliking blacks overall. I get the 'not all of them' arguments and what not, but time and time and time and time again, I have found blacks to be far more racially focused and hate-filled than anyone else. After long enough, it's just a situation where I say fuck you right back and if you don't want to meet me half way then I'm done throwing the effort in. Unless the person is 200 years old, the 'well think of the history that went into that view' argument goes out the window. These kids in this broadcast have never lived in a time when any of that shit applied to them yet they wield it like a weapon.
