In reply to the discussion: A word about all these threads implying white voters are racists [View all]NoGoodNamesLeft
(2,056 posts)They were misguided, didn't pay close enough attention, made a terrible choice...all those things are true. They're not racists though and I can say that because I KNOW them. Hell, one of them has dated many black people and nearly married someone who was black. That person clearly is not racist. They voted for Trump because of jobs.
Trump is a racist POS, absolutely. Many racists voted for him. Not everyone who voted for him is a racist, though.
Hillary is a woman. Many women voted for her. Not all people who voted for her are women.
Obama is black. Many black people voted for him. Not all people who voted for him is black.
Bill Clinton is an adulterer. Many adulterers voted for him. Not all people who voted for him are adulterers.
Bernie Sanders is and old white guy. Many old white guys voted for him. Not all people who voted for him are old white guys.
George W. Bush used cocaine. Many people who voted for him have used cocaine. Not all people who voted for him have used cocaine.
See how that works? It's time to stop with calling millions of voters racists. It's just not factual.
