Honestly, it’s irresponsible to treat Trump supporters in any way that suggests their actions and views are excusable. The ones you know, shame in both public and private. Shun them. Large-scale social enforcement works. Bigots’ going unrebuked is why we’re in this mess.

My post that’s going around: I keep seeing reblogs talking about how dangerous white men are, and while I agree (obviously), we need to watch other white women too.

White women are fucking dangerous. As soon as a white woman starts crying while engaging with a person of color, other white men and women get antsy and tense. If you witness white women trying to start shit with a person of color, step the fuck in. Stand with them. Especially if you are a white woman too. Engage. Shut white women down. Inform others of what’s really happening. Speak up and stand with people of color. Back up their voices.

nothing about tonight is funny. can we for once not make fucking memes. 11k people voted for harambe which is a clear indicator that people took the lives of marginalized groups as an opportunity to make a joke.

Don’t forget that in the past you had fucked up views and had soaked up oppressive ideology, including self directed and that you’ve said things or possibly even did things based on those views.

Don’t forget that it’s a constant lifelong process to defeat that in yourself and that you aren’t done yet, any more than anyone else.

Don’t lose sight of your issues, past or present or future because you think you’ve become ideologically pure. Avoid the trap of self righteousness and hypocrisy

Please don’t lose perspective. It’s important.

……just like Susan B Anthony, white women talked all that good shit and the majority of them still went for Trump.

trump has normalized hate speech and open racism again.. like white people can really go out and say fucking horrific things about minorities and fall back on him

anyways 6.1 million Americans were unable to vote because of felony convictions and as we know black and latino people are disproportionately affected by this system, so thanks for that

Real talk folks

Regardless of the outcome of tonight, y’all be careful. 

If Trump wins, hate crimes are going to increase because, as we have already seen, groups like the KKK and those who think like them are emboldened by the popularity of Trump. They will become more open about their bigotry, which will lead to violence. 

On the other hand, if Hillary wins, there are going to be a lot of very angry Trump supported out there, of the historically violent and hateful variety who are going to be looking for things and people to take their anger out on and an excuse to do it. 

Be careful. Look out for each other. Stay safe.
