An Apology From The White Race
Twitter user @botcx expressed her desire to receive an apology “from every white person that tried to convince me that this level of hatred didn’t exist in America anymore:”
Well, I’m giving it.
I’m sorry that white hate won last night.
I’m sorry that white people elected a lunatic.
I’m sorry that the white race has not evolved.
I’m sorry that a perverted, sociopathic white conman will be given a free pass to trample on human decency around the globe.
I’m sorry that black people will have to go through the racial hate all over again that we all thought was gradually going away from this country. (or so we thought)
I’m sorry that white people didn’t listen to Robert De Niro:
I’m sorry for all the white people on Facebook who were too ashamed to admit they were voting for Trump, and then secretly did it in the privacy of the voting booth.
I’m sorry for all the hate-filled white people who drink the KKK Kool-Aid.
I’m sorry that the KKK even exists in 2016.
I’m sorry for all the white misogynists who poisoned the airwaves with their deep-seated hatred of women.
I’m sorry that women got fucked over….again.
I’m sorry that white people are so stupid to believe that Trump is even capable of managing something more complicated than a Twitter account. He can’t even do that.
I’m sorry that all my non-white friends will be feeling terribly uneasy at night when they try to hold back their sadness, rage and horror, as they continue to carry on with dignity.
I’m sorry for every decent parent in this country who has to find a way to explain to their children what the hell happened on November 8, 2016.
I’m sorry for every parent who had to read their children a bedtime story on November 8 with a pit of horror in their stomach.
I’m sorry for all my Muslim friends who will be feeling nervous and terrified in the coming months.
I’m sorry for every Mexican, both here and in Mexico who has officially been slapped in the face.
I’m sorry that a talented writer whom I greatly admire, Ellie Guzman, fills her Twitter space with:
“Looooooooooove being a Hispanic woman with immigrant parents right now because I love being terrified of where I live.”
I’m sorry that all the victims of sexual harassment have to relieve their personal nightmares.
I’m sorry for all the little girls who will witness the triumph of a predator over a decent woman.
I’m sorry that the people who got ripped off in Trump University will now most likely be afraid to take further legal action.
I’m sorry that the rape victim who received death threats by Trump’s people will be too scared to come forward now.
I’m sorry that we all will be forced to watch his sad sack face on television.
I’m sorry that ignorant white men brainwashed their wives into thinking that women are of less value than men.
I’m sorry that white women hate themselves so much.
But most of all, I’m sorry that my mother, who fought hard her entire life for women’s rights will not see a female president. This is the one that hits me the hardest and makes me truly ashamed of my country.
Trump, you will never represent me.
The white people who voted for Trump, you should feel ashamed of yourself right about now.
World, I’m sorry.
Gross. I’m embarrassed to be white.
