To the editor: As a “white” girl who didn’t vote for Trump, let me say two issues relating to LZ Granderson’s column, “There’s no mystery. White women handed Trump the election.”
One, I object to being outlined by pores and skin coloration. Nobody needs to be so outlined. Till we study to maneuver past such divisive markers, we are going to frequently be at odds over variations that quantity to fictions.
Two, exit polls clearly present that it was males of all stripes, if we should make use of distinctions, who once more handed Trump the White Home.
What does this say about the USA? It says that males within the U.S., having had two alternatives to take action, are nonetheless unlikely to elect a lady to the best workplace within the land, regardless of how certified she is and regardless of how egregious are the trespasses of her male competitor.
That is definitely an indictment — of some type.

To the editor: If I didn’t know any higher, I might assume Granderson was racist towards white girls by blaming them for Harris’ loss.
I blame the Democrats for not holding an open conference and nominating a stronger candidate to run towards Trump. As a substitute, they only handed Harris the reins after President Biden ended his candidacy in July.
It turned out that she was a straightforward goal for the Republicans in charge for the poor economic system and the immigration subject. She was forged as just too liberal.
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), who’s a reasonable, would have been a significantly better selection for the Democratic Social gathering’s presidential nominee. He was a Navy pilot and an astronaut, and he couldn’t have been blamed for something. I consider he would have defeated Trump.
Don’t blame white girls; blame the Democrats.

To the editor: As soon as once more, Granderson nailed it. I write this not as a proud member of my demographic, as a result of Granderson is right. The info are right. So, disgrace on us.
My query to my demographic friends is that this: What the hell? If we ever had the chance to elect a lady as president (and there have been so many through the years), this election was that chance. This was it, and I don’t should spell it out as to why. We’ve seen it and heard it time and again instantly from the president-elect.
I self-isolated starting round midnight on election evening and remained there for hours. What obtained me up and again on monitor? Listening to Harris give her concession speech at Howard College on Wednesday afternoon.
I wept for what we may have had — for what we must always have had. However I used to be impressed and so happy with her, the marketing campaign and who she is. Thanks, Vice President Harris.
And, to my fellow white feminine voters: Please. Simply, please.
