This is still a thing. And it needs work.

Stop blaming 25% of Latina women.

They& #39;re only 6% of the population.

Stop blaming 32% of Latino men.

They& #39;re only 5% of the population.

Stop blaming 4% of Black women.

They& #39;re only 7% of the population.

Stop blaming 13% of Black men.

They& #39;re only 5% of the population.

white men make up 34% of the population.
62% of them voted for Trump.

white men make up 37% of the population.
52% of them voted for Trump.

That means, if you meet a white person, and flip a coin, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE A TRUMP SUPPORTER THAN YOU ARE TO FLIP TAILS.

white people built systems THAT ARE STILL IN PLACE that ensure their vote matters more.

There are systems in place that make it EASIER for them to vote.
There are systems in place that CATER to their vote.
There are systems in place that make it HARDER for everyone else.

I am never surprised that so many non-white people I talked to are frustrated that their vote doesn& #39;t matter. Because whole armies of white people have been trying to make sure of that.

But if you& #39;re white and you don& #39;t vote? I don& #39;t want to hear your excuse. At all.

And I damn sure don& #39;t want to hear any white person bringing up some Black celebrity who supports Trump when you& #39;re too shy to talk to your own uncle.
