An open and proud racist in the age of Trump

I have previously posted about a local politician who made very racist and Islamophobic remarks.

Last Monday, after a Township meeting, I had another encounter with the racist, and her equally racist husband.



A number of us protesters were standing outside when the Trustee and her husband exited the building. We followed them to their vehicle, and as we walked and chanted about her racism, her husband started chanting "white supremacy" over and over to the cadence of our chants. The Trustee was laughing at his display.

Interesting how many such examples of open and proud racism are being seen during the Trump Reign.

and an unbiased media that would have focused on actual issues.


Trump is telling racists to come out and declare themselves. We have picketed their business before, and I think we will do so again.

There is no place in this country for White Supremacists. Video tape them next time and send the tape to the local news. They will most their jobs.
