    Every election cycle, the Democrats and media start to fret about the black vote. Will black women turn out? Will black men vote correctly? And this cycle culminated in the Obamas going on a “pull your pants up and vote” tour to boost turnout.

    Now I’m not black, but I recognize double standards and condescension. I wouldn’t want to be treated that way.

    After the election, Latinos have been targeted by progressive rage and lashing out. I’ve seen people that I used to respect say that they deserve to be deported because of their vote.

      What, they demanded incompetent racist fuckery. Order up! The fact that they brought down all women with them is, like, a bonus.
