In short, that relatively large percentage of Blacks supporting Trump was more or less due to fewer voters this time. Well, this confirms once and for all, a wasted vote is NO VOTE. A 3rd party vote is not a wasted vote, not voting, however, is the wasted vote.
I voted for Gary Johnson myself. Hilary isn't likable. She's a snake. Trump is a bully and a bigot. And his support for stop and frisk scares me as a Black man.
Personally, Obamacare never affected me. I get insurance through work.
Very true at the bolded. And what's sad is more of us would have or actually could have voted for her if her and her husband didn't put us in prison for minor drug offenses.
Trump has given acceptance to racism. It's gonna be a hard time to be anything but white in America again.
And this is what scares me. It isn't just his rhetoric. It is that the bigots who hid in the shadows feel comfortable coming out to the light. A few months back some ignorant punks felt very comfortable screaming the "N" word at me in plain view of shoppers and people sitting and drinking coffee. I had been called that word before, but not that boldly.
My fear is that it will go from just words to actions. I am not a home owner, yet. However, one possibility is that the bigots who hid in the shadows could do things like
1) Refuse to sell a home to me because of my race
2) Try hard to enforce restrictive convenants that ban Blacks and other groups from buying homes in certain areas.
3) It is possible that "sundown" laws could come back.
It is more or less the acceptance of racism that could bring back certain things.
you mean the guns rights will not be infringed-
what are we doing about all the repealed health care? the refugees we agreed to accept? the allies ? the trade agreements? think can just put all back in the box?
My gson is 20 under his mom's insurance which happens to be a great one -from her work- and he has been in the hospital since June 2016 - because of the ins he is been well taken care of and they agree to pay as long as he is progressing in his therapy- he is doing well but it will take time and therapy to get all to function correctly so he can hopefully regain his life back.
Please go tell his mom- sorry cant cover him anymore-
Even prior to Obama care your grandson would have qualified for medicaid and would have insurance either way.
The Latino,AA,Jewish,Muslim,Native American,Asian,even Women community is devastated right now.
We are going to see our gains eroded,all because some white voters thought their precious resources were being diverted to minorities.
Hey minorities,you do not deserve to live and be treated like a human,that is only for white American men.
That is how many people feel today. A great sadness and that they are not wanted in this country.

Make me feel better. Let's say someone files suit over and abortion case. It goes to a now Conservative Supreme court. Plaintiff loses (pro choice). What is to stop a conservative Supreme court from overturning Roe?
Mike Pence promised in a campaign speech to send Roe v wade to the ashheaps of history, 'where it belongs."

For starters...
Stop and Frisk is the biggie for a candidate that proclaims himself 'pro second amendment."

We will afford Trump the same open mind that Republicans afforded Obama. That is to say - NONE.

They don't. America has spoken. We are far more racist and sexist than we ever knew. Hate won. We will fight another day. They are aready protesting at Trump Tower this morning.
I pray my stocks have recovered from last night but I'm afraid to look.

hate to burst your conception of us racist white people..........but personally I would much prefer a quiet sensible Black for a neighbor than some loud mouth cocky self-entitled redneck.......

I wasn't talking about all White people. I didn't even bring up White people. Notice I talked about racists, not the whole White population. You might prefer a sensible Black person than a redneck. There are those who prefer the redneck over the decent Black person. It is those individuals I'm afraid of.
Some minorities (and non-minorities like feminist women) seem to believe if they are not receiving special treatment they are being discriminated against. If white males are not being kept down and punished then it is an affront to these groups.
