Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

An Open Letter to the White Working Class: You Don’t Get to Hide Your Racism Behind “Economic Concerns”
Spandan Chakrabarti
November 20, 2016
Dear “Working Class” White Voters:
I don’t feel like niceties today, so I’m just going to launch into my rant. Brace yourselves.
Look, I think we all know what part of your “white working class” identity is overriding for you. It’s not the “working class” part. According to exit polling, Hillary Clinton won the working class vote. It’s the ‘white’ part that cost her the election.
Still, we’re told by the media again and again that you guys aren’t all racists, that you are all just pissed off that your working class living is gone. We are told that the factory jobs – at least the good paying factory jobs – have either disappeared from the “heartland” (given what you gave us though, we’re going to call you ‘heart-attack-land’ from now on) or been replaced with lower paying jobs. Even in the rust-belt, we’re told, a white man can no longer expect to put in all day at the local manufacturing (or coal) plant and expect to own a home, put food on the table, and raise his children.
We’re told that you are nostalgic for those days, and that this nostalgia is why you voted for the human wrecking ball. You blame politicians for not being able to restore the olden days, for making trade deals that move “your” jobs overseas for the fraction of the cost, and for immigrants you view as willingly providing cheaper labor here at home.
But seriously, can we have a moment to address what your nostalgia is really about?
Think about it. What, exactly, do you think gives you the entitlement to these jobs? What exactly makes these your jobs?

I know. So beautiful there. I stopped to get a pic, then another car stopped…and the Zebras started to run away. I think we scared them.

Yeah, this is certainly logical under the circumstances. The House of Clinton has been hit by a Cat-5 hurricane. With Hillary’s epic loss to Trump, the Clintons are done. Most of the other so called leaders need to be kicked to the curb as well.

Clinton’ were kicked to the curb in 2008, but they didn’t LEARN anything.

I know. All the beautiful Christmas memories with my wonderful parents warm heart but also remind me that they are missing in the celebrations of today…their laughter, their support and love, their pearls of wisdom and their storytelling of stories passed down to them.
