African American Trump supporter apologizes (video)

This seems heartfelt..

Sorry I think this is terrible.
As a Democrat who voted for and supports Trump myself,
I have still to do the same work I set out to do, which is help
fellow progressives from both Democrats and Gre ens to
organized and fund our own solutions and representation,
that works alongside govt as parties do, but doesn't rely on federal
policies or leaders getting voted in in order to practice and implement
reforms ourselves.

I am actually relieved Trump won, because I believe the work
it takes to truly empower and become independent and equal
REQUIRES working outside govt and not depending on it!

So this is easier when I'm not the only one working outside
the system to compile solutions that don't depend on reps in office.
Now, if students and protestors "across the nation" are feeling this,
too, there may FINALLY be the motivation to change it that wasn't there,
and would have stayed the same had the same people gotten into
office, and kept promising help from federal govt instead of relying on ourselves.

This is hard for my peers to understand
when all the party teaches is dependence on elections.
but it's killing the party, and the people like me and my
neighbors who can't afford to ke ep doing all the work
to set up independent communities, while the millions
in taxes around us all go toward campaigns and
corporate interests DESTROYING these community efforts.

The system is run backwards, so I was expecting to fight
an uphill battle against the corporate politics hijacking and
destroying the very principles of representing minority interests
that the party is SUPPOSED to stand for, but they've sold out.

I stand with both the Greens and Sanders supporters who
tirelessly and boldly oppose this corporate hijacking.
I sympathize TOTALLY with the angry protestors afraid
that Trump and GOP domination are working against minorities.

This does NOT have to be the case, but we can USE
our minority position to build equal and independent networks
and CAMPUSES for protecting and growing the solutions
that we want to see implementing, by doing this DIRECTLY.

The call and challenge for revolution is given to us.
We can protest and go back to the chains of political slavery
that keep the machine running the same, into the ground.

Or we can say, if you don't represent us, we'll do it ourselves!
And invest all our taxes and resources in what we believe,
and deduct it and not pay that money to a federal govt that
doesn't support programs we'd rather fund ourselves.

We as Americans have the right and freedom to do that,
to decide where our dollars and labor go.
And the responsibility as well.

Vote with your dollars, your words and actions.
Buy out your schools and districts, and write your
own ordinances and police your own communities.

Quit paying prisons 50K a year to enslave people in poverty
and govt welfare. Start raising and investing funds in hiring
and creating jobs in education and business training,
microlend to each other to save cars and houses, and invest
the money you save in interest toward your community
programs instead of paying corporations that make profit off debt.

Learn RICO laws and work with police to reclaim property
and drug houses, even sex trafficking contraband, as
restitution for victims including communities that can use
these facilities as community center to stop trafficking
and to find missing crime victims and raise awareness
to break the cycle of crime.

The Democrats have long promised to reform prisons
and health care. So let's follow the models of Green
and other union and labor pools to take back ownership
of our own business coops, including health care,
schools, including teacher and police unions, and districts.

We can demand this from our party leaders to FULFILL
the campaign promises we contributed money, votes
and support to. Now it's time to deliver on those promises.

Emily, you'll be fine.

Think of this as the other side of the coin from the RIOTERS....much less property damage this way.

That video is HILARIOUS.

I think it is GREAT to see someone breaking the stereotype of Black voters for Democrats.
I believe Trump has that influence, to finally end this political segregation of Blacks by party in the media,
instead of working together to rebuild whole communities on solid business and education plans.

What's sad to me is
A. seeing someone laugh at others suffering in distress over this
B. underplaying the fact that people DO NEED and deserve representation in govt,
and WILL push for change. So why not make sure that change is the most effective route?

Instead of fueling divisive fires, why not help each other
FORGE a better path where minority interests left out of a vote
don't suffer for lack of representation but have means of developing their own policies and programs
for equal empowerment. This is a golden opportunity, and I hate to see it wasted
on the very divisive politics that exploits people by class.

I think it's more SAD than funny.
I feel the pain and upset of people lost for what to think or do.
Better to offer more constructive solutions and focus that bring empowerment,
rather than more of this baiting politics that does nothing but destroy relations
and make it harder to overcome the very causes of political problems.

Emily, no offense at all, but tl;dr
