Declaring war on Trump and Republican racism
Declaring war on Trump and Republican racism
Trump did not create America’s racism but he gave it a bigger stage as president because his is one of them a racist and bigot who uses hate to fuel his base
America today is more divided than at any point of its history since the Civil War and the hate seeps out of the toxic minds of those who want a land where white bigots dominate and anyone else must hide in fear Racism thrives in a divided government in Washington and a volatile combination of hate and fear of economic uncertainty after the Great Recession America’s racism rebirth came in 2008 with Barack Obama’s election as president. For many his victory signaled hope for a nation that killed many of its own men, women and children in a Civil War that tore the country apart But while millions cheered Obama others saw him as a powder keg to rally white supremacists Racism created the Tea Party and used divisions that have existed since America’s birth to spread fear and encourage hate of anyone who wasn’t white Anglo-saxon and protestant In just the eight years between 2008 and 2016.
