I hate this narrative more than almost any other 2016 narrative. It rapidly becomes blaming Black people for the rise of Trump instead of questioning, really questioning, why his explicit racism appealed to the majority of white Americans. https://twitter.com/claireberlinski/status/1300375707831410689
It is not the explicit job of Black people to save America from itself. Some of us choose to take up pieces of that work. Many of us don’t. And all of those positions are valid. But we never focus the conversation on the white majority that has NEVER taken up that work.
I hope that the Biden/Harris campaign does intensive voter outreach to marginalized communities. But I also hope they hit the white communities of the rust and sun belts HARD to bring the WHITE MAJORITY OF THE ELECTORATE along.
Black people are not responsible for America. We just live here.
