in a thread by MrScorpio yesterday. The poster said no one was forcing black people to stay here...if this county was so bad they should just leave. Ended it with "get on a plane, boy." While that example is extreme, I do think many white people, probably enthusiastic Trump supporters, really feel that they are "logical" in their thinking ("if you don't like it you can always leave&quot and I know many who believe that blacks are racists. It sure destroys any possibility of dialogue. I can assure you in that encounter, I just hit "alert" and made no attempt to engage that racist jerk.
