The Midterms Are Our Chance To Vote Out White Supremacy
Huffington Post ^ | 10/29/18 | Patrisse Cullors

Posted on 10/29/2018 2:50:18 PM PDT by Libloather

The results of the 2016 election felt like a punch to the gut. I remember feeling stunned, confused, and unprepared for what lay ahead. I learned in that moment, and in many moments since, that elections have consequences.

We enter the Nov. 6 midterm election ruled by a Republican majority carrying out a concerted voter suppression campaign and with a leader blatantly cultivating an environment of racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and oppression. This must end.

**SNIP**

Since 2013, the #BlackLivesMatter movement and the Black Lives Matter Global Network and our allies have fought against attacks on black bodies and our communities. We have fought against police, vigilante, and state-sanctioned violence. We have brought focus to issues that disproportionately impact black people including the degradation of the environment, mass incarceration, the broken money-bail system, low wages and poverty. We uplift the working class. We celebrate queer, trans, femme and gender binary folks, and fight for immigrant rights. We center black joy.

Is that “vote out white supremacy” kinda in the same league as voting out “black inferiority”? I wonder how that would play out there in TV land?

It isn’t a metaphor for anything, it is a stupid statement. What was behind the formation of this country was the view that all men are created equal!

Yes, that’s true, but they were mostly Northern Europeans whether you like it or not! When you look at who’s voting to save the Republic, it is the progeny of those same people by and large. And just look at this passel of trash coming our way from Central America waiving the flags of the countries they are leaving. Just don’t see them as the kind of citizens that will make our country prosper and remain a Republic. Sorry if that notion offends you, but it is the truth.

Word salad and slogans. Not a hint of independent thought anywhere. Pathetic.

The Matter types decry racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and oppression.

IMHO, they need more fiber in their diet......like Serutan.....a natural fiber-type laxative product.....

Forget environmental problems here.....Serutan is "nature" spelled backwards.
