For as long as I can remember (I’ll be 73 in April), I've asked myself why white people hate black people so much. I've finally stopped asking because after all this time — my time, my mother’s time, my father’s time, my grandparents’ time — and, as you say, after 402 years at least, it is clear as mud that they simply will not change...Indeed, they get worse with the passage of time.

And, the election of Trump, together with the non-stop, visceral disparagement of Obama (of whom I was no real "fan”), was the very last straw. (I was actually quite surprised that they didn't kill him — although it was not for lack of trying).

Sixty-five million in ‘16…and then Seventy-four million-plus “white people” voted for an avowed white supremacist/white racist in '20, and they are doing everything they can do legally or illegally to return him (or someone like him) to power.

If and when that happens, I advise all black people who can to get yourselves together and be prepared to leave this evil place.
