Why do you think so many "whites" [and don't get me started on the absurdity of using colors to designate races] were absolutely ecstatic when one of the biggest barriers separating the races was destroyed?
Good question...glad you asked!
Here's why -- it's simple, really: When racists defame other races, they are implicitly "speaking on the behalf" of every member of the defaming race! Even if "white" persons, for example, utterly detest what is being alleged on their behalf, there's not a god-damn thing they can do about it. "That fellow isn't speaking for me!" Sure....that's really powerful!!
But on November 4th, I got a chance to say something positive -- for me! I voted for somebody that racists wouldn't vote for.
This time, they didn't get a chance to speak on my behalf!
I may have spoken on theirs!! HAH!
