Campus and local law enforcement should be aware of this young person’s deranged mental state. It seems quite likely that she will hate-crime herself when she realizes nobody else can be bothered.

I hope she doesn’t seriously injure herself, like that sad case in Louisiana where the young woman set herself on fire.

If she would concentrate LESS on “being black”
and concentrate MORE on “being American”,
she might feel better about herself...

Edit that to being more a Child of God
Wondrously Made, Loved so much that He Gave
His only Begotten Son to Save Her

She might learn Humility and Gratitude

Without the God's Eye View, she is lost,
just like everyone else, without Him

My comment?

An example of how our colleges and universities are specializing more and more in turning out nothing but intellectually-inbred thumb-suckers and snot-gobblers.

The entire secondary education system is due a serious rethink.

“other minorities in the USA like Koreans, Japanese, Indians, Chinese, Jews, et al. don’t have time for all this kind of self-absorbed navel-gazing? They just get on with life”

Which is why their home countries are not entirely third-world cesspools like the African nations are.

You see, if people had voted for Hillary Clinton, it would have shown that they respected the author’s skin color.

>>I woke up on November 9 to multiple texts from my friends, telling me to be safe. They had came to the same realization I had: I am a black college student in a part of the country where a a lot of people had just made it very clear that they do not respect my skin color. Safety was on their minds.

Oh puhleeze. This little snowflake is safer among White Trump supporters than she is in many Black parts of the Atlanta area, and if she doesn’t believe that, she needs to pay more attention to the local news about what’s really going on in the world around her just outside her safe space campus.

This SJW Big Lie meme about Trump supporters being a danger to the safety of minorities is complete hogwash, and the growing number of documented fake “Trump supporter” hate crimes is testament to this fact. These fools and liars have almost nothing in the way of real, documented violent crimes perpetrated by Trump supporters for political reasons.

I’m sick of their whining, and would tell this little flake the same to her face were I to meet her.

I’ll say it.

Men and women were meant to bond and have children.

This lady needs a good man!

I live and work in Atlanta and enjoy it wholeheartedly. 50% of Atlanta population is African-American, city mayor is Kareem Reed and, in my opinion, he does a great job. On the Election Day while heading home from work, I’ve observed an African-American gentleman, in his 60s or 70s, standing on North Street near the entrance to 75/85 highway holding a sign: “Blacks, where are the jobs? Vote Trump!” Maybe the idiot from Emory should talk to him about her grievances...

Not to mention that she appears unaware that Virginia is a southern state.

Trump’’s message to her and others of the same liberal mindset...suck it up, buttercups and either get on the Trump train to make this country great again (yes, your help is both wanted and needed) or get out of the way. Your choice, but the days of living off others and constantly being offended ad aggrieved, is over. Trump wants EVERYONE to be successful, but wants EVERYONE to work hard for it, not waste or squander opportunities.

“My first election made me question whether I actually have a voice in this country.”

She’s confusing having a voice with being in control of the whole shebang.
She still has a voice and nobody’s trying to deprive her of it. But she’ll be required to allow other voices to be heard, and that ticks her off.
Tough cookies.

I am a 76 year old Texas woman and I can assure this person that I was NOT raised to hate black people! I did not teach my children to hate them and my grandchildren have not been taught to hate them!

This woman was wrongly taught this and it is a Lie!

As I read, there were several areas where she could have said “but....it’s been a month and I haven’t been attacked. I see that the conservatives seem to have good ideas and might just be on to something something i can support”. But no, more of the same.

“African American women: the most biased, one-sided voting group in the United States. By far.”


This goes waaaaay back.

I was at my class reunion in 1979 and we were discussing teacher layoffs in the Boston Public Schools.(Most at the table were teachers.)

There was one African American woman at our table and she said,”They wouldn’t DARE lay me off,they wouldn’t dare.”

I was astonished,but now it’s become routine.

Suddenly I was hit with the realization that I was living in a different world.

in Trump's America, where people are free, learn how to be productive and you will be rewarded

I do not like to be put into boxes, but this is my reality now.

Really?

You seem to be awfully eager to put others into 'boxes', evidently without regard for reality or truth.

You have swallowed a "narrative" hook, line, and sinker.

Perhaps if you're lucky, someday, either during the journey or after you've grown up and learned to act like an adult, you will pick up some critical thinking skills which will help you to cleanse your spirit of your prejudices and stereotyped view of "the other", and learn to handle reality the way that other adults do.
