As I have watched the Democratic election process this year, I was struck at how many times I was stung by racism more than sexism.
I have seen a lot of women losing their minds over the sexism so I began to ponder this. Is it me? Have I been subjected to sexism so much more than racism that it doesn't bother me? Possibly.
I also began to think that racism has been so deadly to PoC, so dangerous to our very lives where sexism wasn't so much on that scale. The hurt and fear I began to feel, the trepidation, was based on the thought in the back of my mind. "They could relegate us to nothing any time they want, they could kill us all and no one would care."
I am afraid that it is only going to get worse now that there is no woman in the race. To my black and brown sisters and borthers...brace yourselves. The curtain is only cracked, when it comes off in November you are probably going to hear things we thought only our fathers and grandfathers had to hear. You are going to hear a lot of excuses and whining about double standards and you are going to hear a lot of mouth garbage, insulting us, criticizing us and pointing out us as the OTHER more than ever.
Just stay strong like we have for centuries and remember-WE ARE THE ADULTS HERE!
In regards to race issues.

Yes, it is as you say. The veil is being removed. ALL THINGS that were previously hidden are now being exposed for what they truly are.
Judgment, Calamity and the Apocalypse are coming. Indeed it's already underway. And it's coming against everyone, regardless of race, whose name hasn't been written in the angel's book.
Hatred and racism is the vehicle (driven by the Beast) that the final destruction will ride upon. God will permit the madmen to reduce themselves and this world to ashes.
Do you remember this Friend:
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
