We as a nation just elected a president who is a clear and unambiguous racist. If anything, we need a higher number of frank conversations about race in this country because a whole lot of people seem to think being racist isn’t a problem.

@kceasthawk spirit, I’m a bit of a free thinker. I do like a logic train, and therefore try to be linear, but I see that above scenario a little differently than some people, especially mid left and further, leaning people.
It needs to be said I nearly didn’t vote at all. I was so disenchanted by both candidates.
With that said this “unambiguously” racist, misogynistic, “indicted” president. Won the popular vote as a Republican president for one of the very few times ever and first time in 20 years while recording record numbers of votes from minorities, including Black people who he supposedly “alienated”…
All that being said, it appears there is a real significant issue in the Democratic Party if the aforementioned is all true…
You don’t have Americans to blame or the Republicans to blame or Donald Trump to blame you have the Democratic Party, which has lost trust and insight into what matters to people… and by people I don’t mean, white, I mean, black, Hispanic, Asian, female, etc., etc. etc.
Mostly piggybacking with kceasthawk again. Everybody wants to make snap judgments and pigeonhole people without truly knowing intent & then bitch about being labeled and/or trashed if treated in the same fashion.
I also find it interesting that extreme liberal academia in particular have a penchant for assuming or “pretending” that all of their peers and/or ethnicity follow them exuberantly and that is 1,000,000,000% not accurate…
We DO need to have conversations, but the attitude of academia I find trite and condescending.
