In reply to the discussion: Must be quite a shock to see this vulgar return of overt white racism [View all]

(25,099 posts)48. The racism in the U.S. is deep and wide
When President Obama was elected then reelected, I naively thought the country was progressing away from this stain of hatred.
Then Trump came along and poured gasoline on the hidden embers of hatred. The resulting bonfire has exposed the evil that has been hiding beneath the surface all along.
This is pathetic, disgusting and hopeless.

Seems not too long ago comments like this would get a rash of shit from southerners claiming the north is just as racist
