Trump’s racism

Excellent post below. The Washington Post wouldn’t let me call Trump a racist in comments on their articles. To me, mainstream media is a big part of their problem when they are too cowardly to call him a liar or racist.

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins.DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?
