...the whites came out in big numbers to say "Black/Brown people, no way are you going to take over this nation...not at this time" [my opinion only]. I say that because whites are used to bein in control in America and can't fathom that minorities are the growing majority in this country and will be that majority in the next 10/15 years.

Remember, Make America Great Again really meant "Make America White Again"...taking it back to the 50's timeframe.
