In #Trump's America, the new normal is a #racist, white father storming the stage and assaulting the black District Superintendent because he doesn't want his graduating daughter to shake his hand. Look at this poor girl's face as she realizes what her father has done. This #bigot's terrible actions ruined what should have been a moment of pride and celebration for his child. His #hatred was more important.
#Trump used a #racist slur while discussing a contestant on #TheApprentice during a recorded conversation 2 decades ago.
Fmr show producer Bill Pruitt, said while deciding between a Black finalist, Kwame Jackson, & a White finalist, Bill Rancic, Trump adviser & show judge Carolyn Kepcher, advocated for Jackson, Trump winced multiple times & asked:
“I mean, would America buy a [n-word] winning?”
Trump picked the white guy.
“During that time, I signed an expansive nondisclosure agreement that promised a fine of $5 million and even jail time if I were to ever divulge what actually happened. It expired this year.” - BILL PRUITT
I was in law school when Samuel Alito was nominated to SCOTUS. One of my law professors knew him personally. Outside of class, he tried to reassure me that Alito was a "good" conservative, and not one of those crazy right-wing ideologues.
*Please post info if you find out where the Nanaimo & Victoria locations are. So we can go #protest against these #racist#misogynists who mock rape & murdered victims.
Members of the #Heiltsuk Nation in #BellaBella are calling for immediate suspension & removal of an #RCMP officer stationed in the remote coastal community for reportedly making #racist comments on social media.
One screenshot shows the officer posing in front of the Union Jack in #colonial regalia with the comment, “Now, whats to be done about these pesky #natives stirring up trouble in the colonies…?”
One difference between #Germany and the #UnitedStates is Germany knows exactly how to handle modern #racist#nazis.
Public humiliation.
"Satirical journalist and late-night television host Jan Böhmermann shared the video on social media, prompting a widespread response. A couple of hours later, the club announced that it had received the names of the individuals involved and vowed to "press charges against this disgusting behavior with all legal means". https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1903163/germany-for-germans-video-sylt-island
#MackenzieKing’s “cheerleading” for #Hitler’s regime got a tremendous boost during his tour of landmarks of the #Nazi “miracle,” as Teigrob recounts in riveting detail. The photographs tell a very chilling story as well, especially one that shows King sitting proudly in Hitler’s seat at the All-German Sports Competitions while surrounded by Nazi bigwigs in full swastika-studded regalia.
"We learn, for example, that King had an abiding fear of Americans, such as President Theodore Roosevelt, wanting to take over Canada; that he felt a kinship to Hitler because of the two leaders’ attachments to their mothers; and that he saw himself on a divine mission, fulfilling the destiny of his rebel grandfather and namesake, William Lyon Mackenzie, in trying to bring Britain and Germany together to avoid war"
That's what he saw in Hitler? That?
"He was nice & polite to me" as a visiting head of government. Politeness once again being enough cover to hide blatant vociferous racism & misogyny & hunger for power.
Insane.
@benroyce that’s when you realize how fierce and talented our women of color congress folks are, they get dealt that double standard on fucking capital hill every day — still they’re human and need and deserve all the extra love and support to stay healthy amid that buuuullllshit
"Republican Gov. Greg Abbott... pardoning Daniel Perry, the former Army sergeant convicted in the fatal #shooting of a protester during a #BlackLivesMatter march...
According to mediocre white guy, #CharlieKirk, there's nothing in this world so awful as other #racist white guys being held accountable for their virulent #racism and #bigotry. In his mind, the real victim in all this is the obnoxious, racist prick, #JPStaples. And the real villain is the uppity black woman who stood there taking his abuse. And #JoeBiden, of course. Can't forget Joe Biden.
#Trump admits he is a #racist --
In an interview with @TIME magazine, @DonaldTrump said he will fight what he calls "discrimination against #Whitepeople." He's a racist.
@benroyce it's perfectly fine for me, I was just surprised not critiquing per se. I think a CW is the way to go, but the attached image is what I've seen on other networks before (not fedi).
