        Does anyone think Hillary was still wrong to use the term ‘deplorable’? Given what we now hear & see every day, was that term even strong enough?

        Not strong enough. She was criticized for it, but people could call her anything under the sun & that was all fine. But don't call Trump or his rabid base anything except White men & women. The press definitely showed their misogyny during 2016, including the white 🚺1/

        journalists, and that misogyny explains why the majority of white 🚺 voted for him. As a white woman, I refuse to vote against the interests of myself or other 🚺 of any race! As a human, I refuse to vote against the interests of any human! I can't believe what we've become.

        Can we @gofundme to raise money for a sign made out of bulletproof material? Hire an armed guard for every shift? Teach decency & acting responsibly all over the country? I think if a few are caught & sentenced to jail/prison time & massive fines, it would send a huge message 1/

        to other would-be offenders. Is this sign government property so they can't be charged w/destroying government property? Something has to be done instead of letting them get away with this disrespect & racism! 2/2

        For years after MLK Expressway sign was placed on I-85 in Montgomery it was vandalized by gunfire and replaced countless times. No one ever mentioned it. I subconsciously repressed the memory. But a few years ago it all came back to mind.

        Black voters should be furious at this and come out in droves to vote in November. They flipped Alabama, and they can flip other races, too.

        I just wonder why they do not. One does not have to wait till there is one of their own as the candidate. They can vote for the forward trajectory of ideas, opportunities and hope. #VoteBlue

        Voting rates are low across the board, and lower for blacks. But they came out for Obama, and they came out to sink Roy Moore, and I'm hoping their anger will be reflected in November.

        This makes me cry. How can anyone be so cruel to kill a kid, then others shoot up the sign in his memory? These people should not be allowed to have kids. This is beyond disgusting, cruel, & heartless!
