Trump's Attorney: "Just because I support Trump doesn't make me a racist" (Oh, yes it does)

We can infer what stands behind a persons public statements if weve seen them enough, under different pressures and in different contexts. Trumps repeated expressions of sympathy for racist activists, refusals to denounce racist activists, coddling and appointments of racist activists can only really mean one thing: that he instinctively sympathizes with them and indeed is one. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 80 million times, I need to seriously consider what the fuck is wrong with me.

A statue of a white man is literally more valued than the living body of a person of color.
A woman who helped take down the statue in Durham was just arrested.
But NONE of these men have been arrested. NONE.
America. 2017.

Mr. Trump: THIS is what those "nice" Nazis did to Congregation Beth-El in Charlottesville.
