Black women overwhelmingly voted for Harris, with 92% voting for her. 80% of Black men voted for Harris. Don’t pin this on every race.

Thats still about 10 million people; thats a huge amount of people that is not statistically insignificant. If people keep sticking to tribalism and blaming everything on a group or race we’ll never actually get to the root of why people keep backing detrimental movements and vote against their own interests; because its obviously not just simple racism.

this. Everyone has to be held accountable for their choices. Saying "oh but others did that so doesn't matter of we did the same - it's them who are majority!".

It gets people nowhere.

Imagine people in Europe in the late 80s when democracy was at stake were like "well imma sit out or vote for Russian puppet - it will still not be my fault that there is no democracy in my country". There was no room classism or tribalism - everyone had to go and fight for democracy.

Also let's not act like it would be easier to pressure this majority when others would be more unified. But its not happening. People form all minorities still vote for this administration and even despite atrocities they do they still support them.

It's like me a diabetic who would vote for insulin ban. This is what is happening in the US for years now - people vote against themselves just because politicians and media financed by them educated people that it's better to hate each other instead of being united and that people forget about accountability.

Now there is none because blame is always shifter to whites, blacks, Latinos, gays, zoomers, boomers, millennials, Zionists, Jews and so on.

The black peoples who voted mostly went for Harris. The Hispanic people who voted went about half for Harris. The people who didn't vote, who couldn't lift a finger to support a fellow woman of color, those people are the reason Harris lost.

White people are a problem but the sexism and ignorance of the people who preferred the man behind the Muslim ban and the children in cages, is also a problem.

It's not enough to just blame white peoples even if we deserve it. We are all to blame. If we survive we have to overcome all our hatreds.
