Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
This is why AAs are determined to vote for the most electable candidate, to deny Trump another term.
Black Americans deeply pessimistic about country under Trump, whom more than 8 in 10 describe as a racist, Post-Ipsos poll finds (Washington Post)<Snip>
While personally optimistic about their own lives, black Americans today offer a bleaker view about their community as a whole. They also express determination to try to limit Trump to a single term in office.
The pessimism goes well beyond assessments of the president. A 65 percent majority of African Americans say it is a bad time to be a black person in America. That view is widely shared by clear majorities of black adults across income, generational and political lines. By contrast, 77 percent of black Americans say it is a good time to be a white person, with a wide majority saying white people dont understand the discrimination faced by black Americans.
As a black person, youve always seen all the racism, the microaggressions, but as white people they don't understand this is how things are going for me, said Tate, who said he is the only black male teacher in his school. They dont live those experiences. They dont live in those neighborhoods. They moved out. Its so easy to be white and oblivious in this country.
