2. Make no mistake: this is right wing radio day in and day out

The major argument promoted by the right wing since Ferguson (and before, of course, but amplified in the face of the #BlackLivesMatter movement) is a supposed "black-on-white" crime epidemic, centered on rape. Hell, some of DU's own racist trash spouts that shit here. This is a direct act of terrorism with that non-stop racist propaganda as its backdrop.

Shouldn't people like Anne Coulter, Donald Trump, Fox news... share any blame. This person wasn't born hating people out of prejudice. He was taught these ideas. They permeate our culture and clearly one political party, as does the gun lobby, in general uses fear and loathing of non-whites for gain. Seriously where is the wake up call on this stuff?

The takeaway from Donald Trump's speech was just two things: 1) he's got Nine Billion Dollars; and 2) Mexicans are rapists.

So I can see how that could EASILY be extrapolated out to include blacks - aside from the moldy oldie crap about how "they're coming after OUR (white) WIMMMMIN!!!! It just reinforces that whole thing about "Other." Just reinforces and buttresses and further validates it. It's utter abject SHIT. And AS one of those (white) wimmmmen, I happen to just LOVE the idea of being a commodity like that. Just another piece of property to be bought, traded, and passed around (for our "value" as BREEDERS, that is).
