I've been hearing some rumblings about the campaign, now that it is a presidency, which trouble me.
The issue of a black man being elected has now become associated only with black people, i.e. it will raise black people. Amazing that all other people of color have become, well, insignificant. They have faded into the background. Who cares about them? That's the problem with this country: too focused on black and white. Not enough focus on all those other, inconvenient minorities.
And the hypocrisy of Hillary supporters is also disturbing. They hated Obama during the primaries all the way to the end of the election. They were quite vocal in their criticism, from his naivete/inexperience to his wife's comments. But now they are clamoring for their old Clinton-era positions. Not the high-level cabinet positions, all those other, less visible, but well-paying nevertheless, positions. Working their "connections." Disturbing.
