An afternoon outing turned racist when a MAGA fan allegedly made a slur at a Black family.
Brown University politics Professor Deva Woodly, who studies social movements, political opinion, public meaning, and democratic theory, posted on Blue Sky that her husband was called the N-word outside of a car dealership.
A white man told her husband "to just wait for Jan. 20th when they’re taking their country back," she said in the post.
"So that’s what’s happening. For the record there’s not a godd--n thing I need to learn from any Trump voter," she continued.

There has been an ongoing discussion among sects in the Democratic Party about embracing MAGA followers or creating an open dialogue about political differences to find common ground.
"People think this is a f---ing game," Woodly continued. "It is not. Say 'liberal elites' as an excuse until you almost believe it. But this is what it is. This is the truth. Do not be confused. Know that. We just got reminded in this 'blue state.'"
An FBI report under the previous Donald Trump administration revealed a huge surge (nearly 20%) in deadly hate crimes in 2019. That continued to increase, showing that "2021 was the highest year on record for reported hate crimes since the FBI began publishing the data in 1991."
