Is it possible to be a racist and not know it?
Nationalism, disguised as patriotism, can expose racist tendencies, and
that’s what we see in America today.
President Trump blends xenophobia and patriotism to tap into America’s darker side.
America has always had racists, but they lacked the organization and critical mass necessary to progress beyond their hateful selves.
But when the President of your country is himself a racist, that loose band of bigotry that runs through America suddenly has something (and someone) to rally around.
Trump has become the knot.
Under the guiding hand of President Trump, that once ineffectual and dangling lace of racism has been organized and knotted.
From the red MAGA hats to the tightly tied shoes, racism is ready to walk about America. And like its black-booted, brown-shirted Nazi cousin, Trump supporters are hatefully kicking and joyfully harming the most vulnerable among us.
It’s difficult to untie the lace on a moving boot, but that’s what we need to do if we’re going to get our country back.
