Many folks don't provide compassion for this type of pain that is embedded in society...and would rather turn a blind eye claiming that systemic racism isn't ingrained in North America...that the issues this man addressed aren't real and that those who speak up and fight against the system need to shut up and work hard rather than complain.

This was Van in 2016. People were scared and people of colour had every right to be when Trump won. Go take a look at what Miller/Trump were preparing for their 2nd term regarding immigration.
Congrats to Biden and America for electing a the first women President and first black/south asian VP. Big changes ahead and hopefully America will become lets divided and people come together.
Trump might pardon himself and protect him from Federal crimes but he's fucked...

N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James developing 'long' list of Trump actions for Biden to undo
New York Attorney General Letitia James says her office is preparing a substantial list of legal actions for a potential Biden administration to begin quickly reversing Trump administration initiatives, she told NBC News in an interview.
"We're preparing a list. And the list is long," she said Thursday. "We'll have a team of individuals, again, working on reversing all of the bad regulations and laws that have been put forth ... We will work with the Biden administration to ask them to file stays in a number of cases that are pending in the courts all across this country."
James, a leading Democratic state attorney general, said she and her colleagues are also reviewing "legal options to determine what action, if any" state attorneys general will take should the election results be contested.
In her second year as the top law enforcement official in New York, James has battled the Trump administration on everything from environmental regulations and immigration enforcement to its handling of the census. More recently, she's been involved in litigation over Postal Service slowdowns.
Meanwhile, because of the Trump Organization's footprint in New York City, James has been at the forefront of legal action against President Donald Trump's family business.
Her office's yearslong probe into Trump's charitable foundation led to its dissolution. More recently, her investigation into whether the president's business had inflated the value of its assets for the purposes of tax breaks and loans came to a head earlier this month when Eric Trump, the president's son and an executive at his business, sat for a pre-election deposition.
The younger Trump had pushed back on having to testify before the election, but after a judge ruled against his effort, he agreed to sit for questioning on whether the Trump Organization had committed fraud. He called the legal effort "a continued political vendetta."
James said she could not get into the details of his testimony, adding, "We're in the midst of discovery and they're handing over documents and that is ongoing."
As for Eric Trump's claim of political bias — something the president has repeatedly claimed about James and her predecessors in the office — the attorney general said she doesn't "pay a lot of attention to all the noise and all the critics."
"I keep hearing this. I know Eric Trump has accused me of bias. The NRA have accused me of bias," she said, acknowledging a separate high-profile case her office is in the midst of with the National Rifle Association. "A number of elected officials have accused me of bias. Some Republican attorneys general have accused me of political bias. I just put my head down and just go to work."
"Again, politics is not an issue that I will tolerate in my office," she said. "It's based on allegations, primarily from individuals within the Trump administration who have come forward, and laid bare a pattern of illegality and misconduct, which requires an investigation on the part of regulators, i.e., the New York State Office of Attorney General."
She pointed to the Trump Organization investigation her office has ongoing having stemmed from allegations made by the president's convicted former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who leveled such allegations of asset valuation malfeasance while testifying before Congress in early 2019.
As for rumors she may run for mayor of New York City or governor of the state, James said she had "no comment."
"But you know that it's no secret, I was considering running for mayor when this opportunity availed itself, and here I am as the attorney general," she said. "That's not something that I was focused on or planning on."
"There's a phrase that my mother used to say and that is, 'You plan and God laughs,'" she added. "So, I'm no longer planning. I'm just working
I must say I've been enjoying watching friend's or friends freaking out on Facebook about a "rigged" election (even though Republican Senators still won their seats in many of the swing states). It's quite hilarious and disappointing as well, the fact that these people are Canadian hurts my soul.
The prevailing trait of these people? White, middle aged, and angry. As I said before, we have a bumpy road ahead.
For the record, I understand and agree fully with your post.
I guess my random capitalization of words to mimic another poster’s writing style wasn’t obvious...

It's almost like he pissed off everyone in the city of DC
DC is heavily black.
They're also saying the black/latino exit vote numbers are a bit of a misnomer. Exit polls are only confirming based on in person voters, they do not take into account mail in votes, as you clearly can't confirm someone's race by mail in vote.
I would say Trump's overall minority vote is quite a bit lower than currently represented by the exit polls.
Is it hyperbolic to say that black people saved America (again)? This was WAY too close. People are still arguing about fake votes... QAnon people exist. 7 million people still voted for Trump.

Not only hyperbolic, it's incorrect.
Trump gained support amongst non white voters.
He lost it from, wait for it... White males

Yeah the math doesn’t seem all that sweet on that graph. 5% decrease of white male votes outweighed an increase in every other demographic in America?
Well it's an edison poll. Should be relatively accurate. Moreso than the pre election polls I'm sure
