    Some of what we're seeing in the Senate right now is what happens when white people represent 63% of the American population but 90% of the United States Senate.

        Most of what we're seeing in Congress right now is what happens when millionaires represent 12% of the American population but over 50% of a Congress with a median net worth just over 1 million dollars. https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2015/01/one-member-of-congress-18-american-households-lawmakers-personal-finances-far-from-average/ …

        I’m sure the people that will be forcibly removed from their homes and taken to a strange country will take solace in knowing the government shutdown in reaction to their plight, but we weren’t willing to fight for them to prevent that plight from happening to begin with.

        Not sure if the problem is they are white, or just assholes. Lots of us white people are strong fighters for DACA. And school reform. And border reform. And police reform. You get the idea. Let's work together to fix problems, not blame entire races for the acts of some. Ok?

        Oh enough of that. We are here because Dem people didn't show up to support the president in 2010 like they should have. All this screaming about Dems holding the line when people like you cave like canaries when things are not perfect. #NotHelping

        White skin correlates pretty well with the evil in the senate. One might erroneously presume it can be fixed by 37% brown skinned senators. In fact our government has been stolen by corporations. In fact they have had some success in corrupting folks with brown skin.

        This is your argument? You do know that black folks elect these same white people over and over again. Vote blue no matter who, ya know, cuz Dems give lip service to caring about the people, but side with the GOP & their mutual corporate donors/owners.

        They should at least care about CHIP, about ~50% of CHIP recipients are white. It goes deeper than just identity.
