White millenials voted for Trump 48% to 42%
White women voted for Trump 53% to 43%
White college graduates voted for Trump 49% to 45%

The problem isn’t babyboomers, men or ignorance. The problem is white supremacy.

The problem with this post is that it’s comparing whites to whites. Not blacks to blacks or blacks to whites. This is complete bull shit sorry

Black men voted Hillary 82% to 13%
Black women voted Hillary 94% to 4%

Latino men voted Hillary 63% to 32%
Latino women voted Hillary 69% to 25%

Black millenials voted Hillary 85% to 9%
Latinos millenials voted Hillary 68% to 26%

Non-whites college graduates voted Hillary 72% to 22%

All of these are from the same exit poll I used for my original post: http://edition.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls/national/president

It is hard to find a single white demographic that did not come up with a Trump majority (white college graduated women some up with a 51% for Hillary, a small margin indeed) and there is not a single non-white demographic that came up with a Trump majority or came anywhere near it.

I encourage you to look through those exit poll results for yourself. CNN has extensive and well-researched exit polls and the difference in the numbers is far too big to be explained away by a margin of error.

Statistically the strongest defining feature of the Trump supporter is whiteness.

Does this mean the majority of white people actively hate people of color and voted for Trump because they wanted a racist in charge? No. That’s not how white supremacy works.

What it does mean it that, as a result of white supremacy, a LOT of white people who consider themselves ‘not racist’, ignored Trump’s racism and voted for him anyway. A lot of white people did not care about people of color enough to not vote for Trump.

That’s white surpemacy’s biggest feature: apathy to the point of allowing people to die because you can’t be bothered to keep them safe.

I thought I should reblog this old post again for all the people who are caught up in an old-fashioned Red Scare and fully prepared to accept the removal of ‘divisive political messages’ (which, surprise surprise, seems to focus on BLM) because the government said they’re spies.

People of color, even though many were utterly repulsed by Hillary’s racist neoliberalist bullshit, still voted for her because they realized a white supremacist is worse.
‘Divisive political messages’ didn’t change that. A few silly Tumblr blogs can’t change that.

You are distracting yourself.

I know living under a neo-fascist government is scary and it’s comforting to place blame on people and places that are far from you. But you won’t find the cause or the answer to your problems there.

The problem is still white supremacy.

The answer starts with fighting white supremacy.
