There can be no question now. No hiding behind false narratives. No claim of ignorance.

If you are not offended, appalled, and disturbed by the racist nature of trump; then you are, too, a racist.

Make no mistake about how you define yourself in the face of his most recent diatribe. If his message appeals to you, if his message seems non threatening to you, if his malevolence in tone and stride gives you a secret thrill (instead of a cold chill) , you are a racist.

If you have kept quiet, not spoken out, written a missive declaiming trump’s stance, marched in a rally opposing his vile administration of governance. You are a racist.

To be a racist means you think by dint of nature you are superior to another due to your perceived skin pigmentation. It means you are a candidate for recruitment by the KKK. It means you are a neo nazi.

Some things you are not if you are a racist is a patriotic American. It means you are not a believer in the Declaration of Independence, nor the constitution. You are not a Christian, Muslim or Jewish.

No questions, no claims of ignorance, no false narratives. Look at yourself and decide if what you see is how you want to be judged.
