[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sent in my absentee ballot today. Waffled for a bit over some of the candidates but ultimately went D across the board. Later I went outside the bubble of my liberal white friends and colleagues and had to deal with some racist white folks who made me feel subtly threatened. I know liberals have a lot of issues as well, but at the end of the day, most don’t want to jail me or see me gone or treat me as a second-class citizen. Racist white folks need to be indoctrinated with the ideas of freedom, equality, and justice for all. Having R’s in power only emboldens them. I’m never going to give them that happiness. I’m rich and in the highest tax bracket and don’t like paying so much in taxes but I’ll deal with it as long as D’s are in power and the racists aren’t happy.[/quote]

So as a POC, you are okay voting for Gov Northam in blackface and Joe Biden and the outright racist things on record he has said for DECADES?  You are okay that there was an esteemed leading D member of the senate was a former KKK leader?  You really need to do some homework on the politicians and not just fall for the stereotype D = good and R = racist.  [/quote]

Northam hasn’t been on the ballot since the black face was revealed. Biden and Trump have both made racist comments, but Biden has a diverse cabinet, while Trump has actually been found guilty of civil rights violations as a landlord, did not appoint a diverse cabinet, and actively courts the white supremacist vote.
