I'm a longtime volunteer for the left, and have donated significant amounts of $ to people like Sanders, AOC, Amy Vilela, etc.  Suddenly though, it's no longer about giving regular people a fair shot...it's about demonizing WHITE people.  Well let me tell you something:  my grandparents picked cotton instead of attending grade school.  My family never took a SINGLE vacation...they just worked.  I didn't do parties in high school...I studied...so I could get out of poverty.  And after a grueling college experience at UCLA, living in my car & never attending a single social event b/c I was WIPED OUT from working my job....guess what??  it worked!!  I'm now in the top 2% of this country financially - not because I'm white!!  My husband also came from abject poverty, as a first generation Mexican working his way from janitor to owning a multi million dollar company.  We were able to do it because this is a great country - and it had absolutely nothing to do with either of our skin tones.  The Democratic Party SICKENS ME...what you've become.  You're doing a disservice to young poor black kids as well...teaching them that the world secretly hates them and that if they fail it's b/c of racism.  If you fail in life, GET BACK UP & try again.  Lowering test standards & handing out checks never raised anyone out of poverty.  Rich black kids already know this - it's the poor ones whose minds you're poisoning.  You sicken me.
