@ConvairDart106 We found out how ingrained racism still was/is. Better to know the truth. My mother, her parents, the family, spent WWII in an Arizona concentration camp. My aunt was born in that camp. I’ve encountered racism and I’ve seen it against black Americans, mexican American, and others. Despite all that, I was very surprised to see how extensive racism had remained over the last four years, when the racists stopped hiding it. But now we know it’s there in ways we didn’t before.
Trump isn’t the first racist president, but he’s the first president since the Civil War to run as a racist with a racist platform. It’s important to remember that, and in the years to come, if we have friends that supported Trump, we need to ask them why they thought it was OK to support a racist.
By the way, I’m a conservative. I’m an ex-Republican, because the racism in the GOP preceded Trump. He’s just the face of it now.
