This country was built on racism....it started with the native Americans, then African Americans....and it obviously still thrives today...the foundation was on racism. Now I'm not saying all americans are racist...that's obviously not true because if that were the case, my family and I would not be here today. But there are too many people not speaking up or not realizing their privilege. If you are a bystander, you are also the part of the problem.

not many ppl even vote...racism still exists..recently here in NY, a woman got fired for calling a man "African American" while all he just asked was to move her dog aside politely...

With Trump vs. Clinton it was an easier choice as it was choice the less worse one but with Trump vs. Biden...it's like they are both the same...I was rooting for Mayor Pete (He was actually the Mayor of my Hometown and I can tell you he's a great dude...he turned our dying city around)


I absolutely loved Mayor Pete's view.........he is impressive..........👍🏼...............Biden........lost his pick time..........we need younger and energetic folks..........

But i feel that even when a "common person" gets power, they also become corrupt or selfish not always but I've seen this happen in some political scenarios

agreed...which is why i wish we had a politician who would serve for the betterment of his country/state..

LOL when I was little I used to get so bored when adults talked about politics and now I'm one of those boring adults...😆 but ignoring the issues in our society and living in lala-land is also part of privilege as in that we can "ignore" certain issues simply because they don't affect us
