I am soooo tired of "explaining" this shit to you guys. You are simply, plainly, obviously in deep, deep denial about "your" people. That would be your white friends, relatives, co-workers, "associates," etc., ad nauseam.

And, pu-leeze! Stop throwing Obama at black people. Look, at no point in the history of this nation-state....let me say that again: at NO point in the history of this nation-state has a majority of white people supported black people on any issue whatsoever. Including the election of Obama to the presidency.

Look, in neither of his two elections did he garner the majority of white voters. In fact, in his second election in 2012, he actually got fewer white votes.

And to the guy who says that my "attitude" will piss off potential white supporters like those "protesters" last summer over the death of George Floyd....where are they now? Now that the cameras are turned off and the "media" has moved on? Why are they not just as "upset" and marching and protesting against the Racist Republicans' nationwide, virulent efforts to suppress and depress, if not eliminate altogether, black, brown, red, yellow and poor folks' right to vote?

Do you understand what "fair weather fans" means?

So, stop arguing with me and black people about your friends' and families' racism. Talk to them!
