A key takeaway for me is that when people of color and those in inner cities turn to violence, crime, and drugs, we blame the oppressive system for their failings. When people in rural America do the same, we blame them. Just because someone is white doesn’t mean they don’t need sympathy and compassion. We’ve lost the thread of love and acceptance in this country.
And it seems the ability to math. All this blame (it was always going to come to this blame game) being pointed at this or that demographic seems to miss the point that the popular vote was won by trump, that does not happen if the majority of voters did not vote for him. It seems crazy that people can blame the white men in the country voting counter to woman's overall rights, but not blame woman who voted the same way.
People forget that women can be misogynist too. It's pretty common in the church.
I swear people forget women are capable of independent thought, and are people with the same qualities and failures as anyone else.
