from the mind of critic-11/16/16

From the mind of critic: “As more and more people keep asking how we could have elected the man we did, are people saying that Hillary Clinton lost because she didn’t appeal to white working class voters? Did she not appeal to all working class voters, or just the white ones? If it is just the white ones, are they upset because the system has ignored the needs and wants of white america for to long? Are they upset that america is getting to dark and to gay to quickly, and they feel they’re losing the supremacy they’ve held for years over the inferior? Or is race and class so intertwined that you can’t seperate one from the other, without ignoring what introduced each one? There are many reasons she lost, she isn’t likable, she isn’t trustworthy, she isn’t authentic, she isn’t one of us. The rage is much whiter on one side than the other, but the anger is the same. The downtrodden have been stepped on and lied to for so long, they will support the first person that seems to stand up for them. The danger comes when we’re in this vulnerable state, we feel like we can’t stand up for ourselves. so we go toward that person that appeals to our emotions. Once we realize that it’s not so much white people needing more support, but all of us needing more support because we’ve been divided so long, we’ll see that until we see eachother as part of the same human fanily, race and class problems will continue to persist. Some people see dark days ahead, but never, ever forget that it’s the darkest right before the dawn. Whatever our color or creed, the working people will have a say.Once we treat each other like humans and see each other in ourself, most of our race and class problems would dissappear. What do we have to lose?” 🙂
