Minorities in the cities face major issues and there are large movements aimed specifically at helping with them and to show their empathy. A major one was black lives matter. I think there needs to be more for different races such as Muslim and Latin descents.

But where is the support for a large piece of America. Rural America. It is a LARGE piece of America, even larger than black America. And unfortunately that gap in empathy was filled by Trump, which places us where we are now.

And please don't mix that statement up with me liking Trump. I understand how that could be read that way. I am just thinking about my friends in rural America that are facing very real problems and I care about them.

Your responses have been mentioning people outside Rural America lacking empathy, but if we wanted to help them what would we do? Is there support within Rural America for improving Rural America?

What groups are they organizing that we can help publicize? Which organizations should we be reaching out to?
