2. Trump isn't the original root cause but is most definitively

the catalyst for the recent unmasking these sons of bitches. It has become "cool" to do this shit and there is only one way for it to stop. Lemme be clear here that I'm not talking about the idiot biases that people seem to manifest and harbor. I'm talking about a certain segment of white people and their obsession with hating everybody else.

There is no amount of education, appealing to or explaining to these people that's going to convince the insane contingent that blaming your ills on a small portion of the population isn't the answer to any of your problems. The information is there as to how to get your shit straight if they would care to take any sort of real look at it. They won't its too much easier to blame the other.


When Obama was elected I thought that hey maybe we were doing better, but all that did was bring the American racists together in a fevered frenzy of fuckery. A epic cluster of garbage that resulted in the eventual election of trump. I am now of the mind that these people are going to have to do it for themselves at this point. Again, the information is out there, but they are too caught up in their own damn feet to figure out how to do it.

Thanks to the internet these people don't have to live in isolated clusters of whiteness and continue hating on the other. To do it now means they choose to do it. In the same fashion that they choose to back the most unqualified candidate EVER for the office of president.

Trump has to be repudiated by these people. Not just a casual distancing of their support, but an vociferous and unmitigated denunciation of trump, the ideas of white racism in any form and the wink wink politics that got us all here in the first place.I thought this was somewhat behind us 9 years ago, but like it says on the side view mirror "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear".
