It’s Seriously Perilous To Be Black In ‘Trump’s America’

Whatever perceived progress on race relations was wiped out when Donald Trump made racism the centerpiece of his presidential campaign.
It’s Seriously Perilous To Be Black In ‘Trump’s America’
*The following is an opinion column by R Muse*
There’s no doubt or debate that Republican standard bearer Donald Trump is responsible for no small number of affronts to human decency on any subject one can think of. However, the fascist is getting a “bum rap” for a couple of things that really aren’t his making, no matter how much it appears to be the case. For example, although Trump’s campaign is founded on nativism and racial animus, two topics he incites as a campaign tactic, he did not create or cultivate that nasty base of support; that is all on the Republican Party.
That being said, there are increasing instances being reported of sheer racism targeting people of color that can be attributed to Trump simply because he is reaping what his Party has sown since Americans elected an African American man as their President. Although the seething racism raging today was always simmering beneath the surface, as many political observers have noted the Republican Party that Trump leads has made racism not only acceptable, but a popular campaign asset. Subsequently, innocent Americans are increasingly paying the price of living in what many are now calling “Trump’s America.”
There were three specific cases over the past two days that reveal precisely how acceptable Donald Trump’s hateful rhetoric has made targeting people of color, all people of color, with violence; the calling card of conservatives supporting the fascist Trump. There was once a time, about nine years ago, when a white racist using the pejorative “N” word as a weapon against African Americans in public was considered extremely bad form. Trump and his cabal made that word publicly acceptable among white supremacists with their call for an end to what they errantly called “political correctness.”
It was also once severely frowned upon to publicly call for executing large numbers of people of color simply because they are not white, but with the ascendancy of Donald Trump, those days are history. That atrocity is also down to Republicans, white supremacists, and those particular savages calling themselves “patriots” because they are racists with a well-stocked arsenal of firearms. Actually it is a relatively new development to connect blatant racism and white supremacy with being a real American “patriot,” but an ardent Trump supporter is publicly calling for “fellow patriots” to lock and load and hunt down African Americans, including women and children as they shop or move about their communities.
