maybe financially. Our system is simply not set up to deal with a POTUS who, without remorse, is willing to break every rule of decency that most people would consider "normal".

Why do about 40% of the American public embrace this type of nasty person? I think it is mainly because of historical "white supremacy". It goes back to the founding fathers that made sure that power and rights were assigned to white males.

I suspect that if you asked the question of white America...if you had to choose between democracy or white privilege, how many would choose whiteness?”I think the majority of whites would choose the latter. More so white males but probably white women would go along with their male peers.

People often ask if America is a racist country? Most white people would say no - but most of the "other than white" population say "yeah....no hell yeah".

The hope I have is that as America becomes a more multicultural society, more and more whites will admit and accept that our domestic problems is really a white problem. The inescapable truth is that the culture of white supremacy is American history and once we reject it then we will become a "more perfect union". ☮
