Trump Brings Racism/Bigotry Into The Mainstream. It's OK. [View all]

The one thing that the Trump candidacy does is bring racism and bigotry to the mainstream and it is ok to be open about it.
It is ironic that the other racist and bigoted candidates on the GOP side are calling him on it. They are just the same.

The "Make America Great Again" is a subtly racist call to advance social, cultural and economic apartheid in this country. The Trump meme is about making "the other" the cause of all our problems. His clarion call brings in many poor whites who are really considered no better than minorities. In actuality Trump or GOP policies effect these white as much as "the other". These voters are part of the "the other" but they do not have the sense to understand that they are targets as well.
