Thank you for caring, officerripley!

Those reactions from people you would think are reasonable, educated, and intelligent are just astounding.  Yes, we should all be afraid.

Wow, grammyk,my heart goes out to you & yours; even some of us anglos are worried & I fear espec. for those who aren't (incl. women). It's so frustrating: the a.m. after the election, I was working my volunteer job at the country library & in walks a young, anglo-looking guy--who if I had to guess might be homeless, we get a lotta 'em hanging out in there--& with a big grin on his face says in a loud, almost-yelling voice, "Free at last, free at last; thank god almighty we MEN are free at last!" I thot to myself, "You dumba$$; if u r homeless like I think u are, we just elected a prez who will be cutting bk libr hrs even more than the conservatives around here already have. Where ya gonna find to get in out of the weather then?"  L8R that day I was griping about that on another site & a gal who lives about 2 hrs away fr here in a well-to-do, white community & who's a teaching assistant at a jr. high (middle) school said the a.m. after the election in the classrm she was monitoring, a bunch of the boys starting yelling "Grab her by the p*ssy!" and "NOW we can go kill us some n*ggers!"  She told the teacher of the class--who made no secret of the fact she voted for trust-fund donnie--what happened & the teacher just said, "So?"  The assistant said she said to her, "Well, don't you think that's hate speech & something should be said to them about it?!"  & the teacher sighs this put-upon sigh & says, "Oh, all right, all right, they shouldn't have used that word so I'll say something to them."  & the assistant said she thought to herself, "You said 'word' singular; which 1 of those 2 bad words do you think is OKAY?!", but said, "Well if the 'word' you referring to is the 'P' word, our Prez-elect uses it so I guess--"  And the teacher cut her off & says, "Oh no, he didn't!"  & the assistant says, "Uh, yeah, he did, it's been all over the news & he even admitted it & tried to pass it off as 'lockerroom talk'."  And the teacher says, "No, he didn't; I don't believe any of that for 1 minute!"  And this is an educated (so you'd think intelligent, ha) person teaching kids.  We're doomed; be afraid, be really afraid.

Many in my family are biracial- I am truly frightened for them.  My adult son,who is not afraid of anything, says he fears for his life now.  I am absolutely terrified for my AA grandsons. I am wondering,seriously, what country we need to move to.

Yeah, I know what you mean; that damned Electoral "College": don't get me started on that...

I think we're all still sick from the election? I know I am.

There's no place like home, but I bet you miss that grandbaby already!

Well, I'm finally back in my own home again. It will probably be a while before I get to hold that small one again.
