So, the white power president said this last night... [View all]

'We have a heritage, we have a history and we should learn from the history, and if you don't understand your history, you will go back to it again. You will go right back to it. You have to learn. Think of it, you take away that whole era and you're going to go back to it sometime. People won't know about it. They're going to forget about it. It's okay.' This is after retweeting a fucking old nasty nazi in Florida shouting out white power to BLM protesters. It is not even dog whistle at this point, it is in your face, shout out loud, white pride confederacy racism. Firstly, telling black people that their demands for statues of slave owners to be abolished will result in their enslavement is both so ridiculous and so insulting that it is breath-taking in its offensiveness. Secondly, Trump knows exactly what he is saying and revels in its lack of coherence and the utter absurdity of what he is saying. Thirdly, he is talking to a base that would quite happily take America back to the confederacy and ergo the plantation era. Finally, he knows he cannot win the black vote, so a hugely obvious part of his election strategy is to stoke up a race war. At the risk of stating the obvious, this racist President has to go.
