She did this because of certain racial realities in America.


Given the reality that American whites will be a minority in my lifetime, I can understand the notion of "supporting the white race."

This view is problematic two fold: because the white people who usually say things like this (even today) publicly also have another agenda that is hateful and because of our shared painful history that meant exclusion of others to their detriment.

Still, a person can reason this way and still not be hateful.
