Showing Original Post only (View all)DJT has cost me 75% of my "friends". [View all]
At most I had 42 "friends" on Facebook and am down the 9 I started with years ago.
DJT gave people the courage to out themselves instead of keeping that putrid crap locked up in their heads. One by one I've either cut them off or got myself unfriended. These aren't really people I spend much time with... and recently, they've shown me why.
I've come to a new understanding over the last few months. It isn't enough for me not to be a racist. It is more than just living my life supportive of diversity and not tolerating racism in my presence. It is more than choosing to vote for like minded people and actively supporting rights of people in my own community. Sure that's something, but it isn't enough.
The only way this ever gets solved is if people like me are anti-racist. It is a war, within and without. It is long past due. I'm late. I had something to learn yet. No doubt there is more learning to come. I guess, in a bizarre way, I can thank DJT for that.
