Author Toni Morrison says white Americans overwhelmingly supported President-elect Donald Trump due to fears that “their natural superiority is being lost.” “Unlike any nation in Europe, the United States holds whiteness as the unifying force,” Morrison writes in an essay for the New Yorker, entitled “Mourning for Whiteness.”
Morrison catalogues an apparent list of concerns held by white Trump voters: “There are ‘people of color’ everywhere, threatening to erase this long-understood definition of America. And what then? Another black President? A predominantly black Senate? Three black Supreme Court Justices? The threat is frightening.”
The Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author also explains the lengths white Americans have gone to “restore whiteness to its former status as a marker of national identity”:
Morrison blames the election of Trump on eager “white voters” who “embraced the shame and fear sowed” by the President-elect:
On Election Day, how eagerly so many white voters—both the poorly educated and the well educated—embraced the shame and fear sowed by Donald Trump. The candidate whose company has been sued by the Justice Department for not renting apartments to black people. The candidate who questioned whether Barack Obama was born in the United States, and who seemed to condone the beating of a Black Lives Matter protester at a campaign rally. The candidate who kept black workers off the floors of his casinos. The candidate who is beloved by David Duke.
Morrison’s is one of sixteen such post-election essays on “Trump’s America” appearing in the November 21 print edition of the New Yorker.

Thank you, Toni, for explaining to my why I voted as I did. Amazing, since you have never even met me.
Racist trash talking racist trash.
Anyone not seeing through the feeble and nonsensical efforts by the destructionists to play the “divide and conquer” game by now are hopeless.
They still don’t get it. Let’s not tell them.
Racist
My white privilege card was revoked long ago. This guy is on crack. I dont think most libtards would pass a drug screen, whether it was psychotropic drugs or illegal drugs.
Wow looked at her pic. Now they have a black Jaba the Hut for the next Star Wars movie...
My failure to vote for the old white lady really shows that I am a racist. Got it.
Guy = gal
I voted for Trump because I hate left-wing radicals, whatever the color of their skin...even lily white crackers like Hillary. ..but that’s just me.
I don't know why if America is so racist, blacks can't simply get up and leave. Oh, you mean they won't because nearly all other countries around the world (including African ones) are even more racist than the U.S.?
Let’s say for a moment she’s right.
And?
I don’t care what the reason is anymore. I’m just glad that he’s the P-E and the leftist, racist, sexist, heterophobic, hoplophobic, and oikophobic crybabies are crying tears by the gallons. I hope they commit mass suicide in January when Obama has to hand over the keys to Donald Trump.

The votes for Trump, the House and Senate, Governorships, and other state offices were to end the ineptitude, bloat, infringement of rights, convoluted thinking, elitism, and failure of liberals running the government regardless of race. Get over yourself.
Toni, sweety, what you call “white privilege” is available to everyone. They just need to study and work hard, and ditch the racist poverty culture. Being successful is a matter of attitude, not race. It is not white people’s fault that so much of black culture rejects the very elements that lead to success and, worse yet, ostracizes those who adopt the attitudes of the successful as being “too white.”
"Toni Morrison: White Voters ‘Eagerly Embraced’ Trump Out Of Fear Of A ‘Collapse of White Privilege’"
Tony Morrison doesn't let actual facts get in the way, or anything. White voters voted for Trump in about the same proportion as they voted for Romney. Best performance among whites in recent elections was Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996.
Where Trump made surprising gains was with black and brown voters.
I didn’t mean drewh
And I’m sure her Pulitzer and Nobel prizes were awarded to her based on her skill, not her color. You know, like with Obama.
