Governor Ralph Northam Gives Republicans A Chance To Say 'DEMOCRATS ARE THE REAL RACISTS!"

Democratic Governor Ralph Northam and his Medical School Year Book Photo
(admitted he was in the photo then retracted then started tap dancing.
Democrats & Republicans, both, are calling for his resignation

There's very few people, black or brown that don't know there are white racists on both sides of the aisle. But the GOP hypocrisy here is DEEP in the age of Trump. The GOP ran their boy Gillespie's campaign against Northam using white supremacist dog whistles (bull horns) at every turn. 


That lying racist (or formerly-racist) jackass Northam needs to resign. But never let the GOP's hypocritical b.s. fool you into thinking that white supremacy isn't just laced through the party but a foundational basis of who they are -- even the ones that aren't as overt about their racism as Orange Chump is. 


From VOX
     There’s a clear-cut case to call for Gov. Ralph Northam’s resignation...
     Conservatives watching the controversy unfold were seeing it do so in part through the lens of a story that broke last week, one that had outraged many in the anti-abortion camp of the GOP. In fact, by Friday afternoon, when his bafflingly racist yearbook photograph was first publicized and then verified, Northam was already in boiling political waters — over not race but abortion....
     No wonder, then, that many conservatives connected his abortion comments to his yearbook photograph...
     But there’s something else going on, something deeper: For some on the right, Northam’s photograph served as political vindication, proof positive that Democrats can be just as racist as Republicans...But let’s add more context to the 2017 Virginia gubernatorial election, which was anything but an example of political piety. 

  •      First and foremost, the Gillespie campaign repeatedly attempted to tie Ralph Northam to the violence of the gang MS-13...
  •      And the candidate Gillespie defeated in the Republican gubernatorial primary, Corey Stewart, went on to win the Republican primary for the United States Senate, while enjoying friendships with Unite the Right organizer Jason Kessler [an alt-right racist & Charlottesville organizer] 
  •      ...and former Wisconsin Republican House candidate (and anti-Semite) Paul Nehlen, whom Stewart described as a “hero.” 

  • [Gillespie campaign's ]“Trump-Stewart talking points,” Bannon meant not just the ads about MS-13, but two ads paid for by the Gillespie campaign that attacked Northam for supporting the removal of Confederate memorials, and a mailer that attacked NFL players protesting against racial injustice, stating, “You’d never take a knee ... so take a stand on Election Day.”...
...Republicans calling for Northam to resign are doing so more because of his comments on abortion and less so because of the Republican Party’s “tough” stance on racism [..]..." 
https://www.vox.com/2019/2/4/18208410/northam-gillespie-racist-yearbook-conservatives-claim-vindication?

Ralph Northam is probably refusing to resign because he knows the white folks in his state aren't bothered by that photo in the slightest. He knows that this old photo will blow over as quickly as Agent Evil Orange's "shit-hole countries" did for the majority of white republicans in his state.

HIS AMORAL ORANGE HIGHNESS DEFENDS MURDER OF NON-WHITE, NON-AMERICAN JOURNALIST

Feeling Rebloggy
Last week, the CIA reportedly determined that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman [who is NOT the leader of his country YET] ordered Khashoggi’s murder. Yesterday, Trump said, “maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!”

...The president issued an unapologetic defense of the kingdom in response to the death of Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist who was killed inside the Saudi Consulate in Turkey.
How White Supremacy Works In The United States
It's not just about skin color anymore....and it never really was.
Trump cited the need to maintain billions of dollars’ worth of arms deals with Saudi Arabia as the reason for his stance.
He said, “If we foolishly cancel these contracts, Russia and China would be the enormous beneficiaries — and very happy to acquire all of this newfound business.”
I am sickened to say that the only thing I actually find semi-shocking about this is that lizard brain didn't insist on wearing his maggot hat while issuing this reprehensible statement. The fact that his handlers cannot keep the muzzle over his his mouth is no longer even vaguely surprising.

I mean, it's not other U.S. Presidents wouldn't have found a way to keep that arms deal in place.

But I think any one of them would have had the fake-decency to pretend to care about the vicious torture and murder of a man that had been living here in the U.S. And I'm thinking most of them would have had the brain cells to know that had to, at least, let it be known that the U.S. thinks the King in Saudi Arabia should choose a different son to take over when he's gone. 

The impact of Trump is going to last for decades and decades if he doesn't completely destroy what's left of the democracy before he goes.

JIM CROW IN IDAHO: No Charges For John R K Howard After Sodomizing Disable Black Teen With Hanger

This is NOT a repost.
This is from 2017.  And I cannot. believe I never heard about this

I can't even type the details in here. I can't do it.  Read more at the link. 

This mofo plead guilty. Hell is waiting for him. The sooner he goes, the better. The judge can hold his hand on the way down.


BLACKCHICKROCKED.BLOGSPOT.COM

What happened here is why you vote in every election you can. Judges can be removed. Just a few months back, in Northern California they removed kicked out the judge that gave Brock Turner a light sentence for rape.

There aren't enough black folks in Idaho to shake a stick at. But I am assuming some white folks have a conscience there and will continue to act upon it no matter how long the Hater-In-Chief is in  the White House.

TRUMP FLEXIN BEFORE THE ELECTION FOR COLLECTION WITH THE COMPLEXION OF PROTECTION



KKK
NEO NAZIS

ALT-RIGHT
PROUD BOYS
NATIONALISTS
WHITE NATIONALISTS

It should be clear by now they all fall 
under the umbrella of

THE 
RADICAL WHITE RIGHT

And if all of these groups and groups 
and just like them 
were identified as domestic terrorists, 
as they should have been a long time ago, 
13 to 15 people might still be alive right now.





October 16 2018, Trump Tweet
“The United States has strongly informed the President of Honduras that if the large Caravan of people heading to the U.S. is not stopped and brought back to Honduras, no more money or aid will be given to Honduras, effective immediately!”

The apparent impetus for this outrage was a segment on Fox News that morning that detailed a migrant caravan thousands of miles away in Honduras. The caravan, which began sometime in mid-October, is made up of refugees fleeing violence in their home country. Over the next few weeks, Trump did his best to turn the caravan into a national emergency. 
Trump falsely told his supporters that there were “criminals and unknown Middle Easterners” in the caravan, a claim that had no basis in fact and that was meant to imply that terrorists were hiding in the caravan—one falsehood placed on another...
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/caravan-lie-sparked-massacre-american-jews/574213/  
And when some small to medium percentage of them do get here, they have the right to apply for asylum --same as always.  And those that don't get asylum will be turned away. This has happened dozens and dozens and dozens of times before. 

There was no national emergency -- for a group of people 900 to 1000 miles away at the time that will take weeks to get here. And even Orange Nitwit knew that. Yet... 
October 20, 2018 Trump remarks to reporters,
“You have some very tough criminal elements within the caravan. But I will seal off the border before they come into this country, and I’ll bring out our military, not our reserves. I’ll bring out our military.” 
 October 22 2018, Trump tweet
“Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy [sic]. Must change laws!” (Trump tweet, Oct. 22)
 October 22, 2018, Trump remarks to reporters
“Go into the middle of the caravan, take your cameras and search. Okay? Search. . . . You’re going to find MS-13, you’re going to find Middle Eastern, you’re going to find everything.” (Trump remarks to reporters, Oct. 22)
October 22, 2018, Sarah Sanders (Back up singer #1)
“Absolutely. We have [evidence], and we know that this is a continuing problem. It’s not just in this. We have 10 individuals, suspected or known terrorists, that try to enter our country illegally every day.” 
 The terrorize-ers we really have to worry about are the ones coming out of the radical right end of the republican party.  They are the ones pouring gas on the pre-existing conspiracy theories of their murderous white racist cousins.

In case you haven't noticed, white liberals are just waking up to the fact that some of them are running the country right now.  
They are just becoming aware that Trump and his minions, in an effort to scare voters into voting white-and-right, are inspiring terrorists with the phony stats and threats of non-white invasion and non-white take over.  
  • Trump going as far as he could to condone the shooting of black people by police officer apparently  wasn't enough to convince most white liberals that Trump doesn't just have a "racism problem," that he doesn't just say "racist things" but that he is a white racists and that he is trying to appeal to white racists.  
By now, even white people, should understand that every tweet and remark about immigrants coming out of Trump and the Pips mean the same thing...
THE BROWN PEOPLE ARE COMING!!!  

THE BROWN PEOPLE ARE COMING!!! 
MAKE AMERICA WHITE AGAIN IS IN JEOPARDY!

October 22 2018 
October 22 2018, 
The First pipe-bomb is reported near Democrat George Soros' Home

October 23 2018, VP Mike Pence (Back Up Singer #2)  
Live Interview With Washington Post 
“In the last fiscal year we apprehended more than 10 terrorists or suspected terrorists per day at our southern border from countries that are referred to in the lexicon as ‘other than Mexico’ ― that means from the Middle East region.”

October 23 & 24 2018, 
Cesar Sayoc, his name unknown at the time, attempts and succeeds at having pipe-bombs delivered to President Barack and Michelle Obama, Eric Holder, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Bill and Hillary Clinton

Two bombs were sent to Maxine Waters, but they were intercepted at a mail facility.

CNN gets a mysterious package too 

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/pipe-bomb-timeline-cesar-sayoc_us_5bd36a31e4b055bc948bb5ed

October 25 2018, 

Pipe-bomb packages meant for Joe Biden and Robert DeNiro (who isn't the only Hollywood star sounding off, but has a black wife) are intercepted by police and federal authorities.

October 26 2018, 
     "Friday: Four More Bombs ― And An Arrest
A package addressed to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) Tom Steyer was similarly headed off in Burlingame, California, before it could be delivered....  Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper "

While only 13% of the United States population is black and the percentage of black politicians is probably less than half that, black politicians were heavily over represented in Sayoc's target list. And if you count Rochelle Ritchie, Sayoc's target list was 50% black. And he sent Maxine waters not one but two bombs.


Maxine says she ain't scared. But we all should be because this isn't just happenstance. Trump made this radical white republican racist pop off...And he's pour gas on the country's white supremacists very deliberately.

Again....
Some may say Cesar Sayoc, the incompetent Radical White Right would-be bomber is not white. 
Sayoc looks white enough to pass to me, and probably to himself too. It seems probable to me that he used "the enemy of my enemy is my
Rochelle Ritchie
friend" (il)logic to see his would-be bombings as the last ticket he might need into whiteness. This was the path the Irish took into whiteness more than 100 years ago, by the way. The Irish were not considered white, so they changed their clothes and their accents and declared they hated black people even more than the original white people did.
 
And it worked. This, indeed, is how the Irish became white.   
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/305686.How_the_Irish_Became_White 
 Sayoc's desire to identify with other white supremacists would tend to explain why he chose Rochelle Ritchie, a black female commentator, to threaten two weeks for his final pipe bomb attack -- threats nobody took seriously. 

Trump identifying with white nationalist groups poured even more gas on the violent right radicals calling themselves White Nationalists, KKK, alt-Right, Proud Boys, or Neo Nazis.  

And nobody but the willfully white ignorant has been fooled by Trump leaving the "white" out of "White Nationalist" --not even the hate-filled radical white right murderers and would be murderers making headlines in matter of days last week. But white dominated main stream media has been pretending "nationalist" doesn't mean "white nationalist for years up to this point. 

The main stream media made Trumpthuglicans sound as benign as possible by calling them "nationalists" instead of "white nationalists"  -- right up until a white woman was killed at Charlottesville. 





October 24 2018 
In the middle of the pipe-bomb domestic terrorist attack, another white male terrorist shot two people, one inside and another just outside, a Kentucky Kroger after failing to enter a black church where he would have become the next Dylan Roof...  


It took Jeffersontown Police Chief Sam Rogers four days to say the slayings were racially motivated, telling churchgoers Sunday the issue is "the elephant in the room." Maurice Stallard, 69, and Vickie Lee Jones, 67, were killed.
Rogers was speaking at First Baptist Church of Jeffersontown, a predominantly black church that police said the suspect tried to enter minutes before opening fire at Kroger.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/10/30/kroger-shooting-push-call-slayings-hate-crime/1817949002/

A day or two later and another white male domestic terrorist shot up a synagogue full of Jewish people, a left leaning group of white people --like many others-- that have always fallen out of whiteness the minute the white supremacy becomes more overt. 

The [Trump Fueled Caravan] Conspiracy Theory That Led to The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting, explained
Before he opened fire in a mass shooting that killed 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday, witnesses say the gunman shouted, “All Jews must die.” 
But the particular moment he (allegedly) chose for his massacre, and the place he chose to do it, show that what radicalized the assailant to the point of violence was a specific manifestation of anti-Semitism: blaming Jews in America for bringing in an invasion of nonwhite immigrants who would slaughter the white race.


His last post on the pro-hate-speech social-media site Gab, posted minutes before the synagogue massacre, spells it out — with a reference to HIAS, the Jewish nonprofit that resettles refugees in the United States:
HIAS likes to bring invaders that kill our people. 
I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. 
Screw your optics, I’m going in.
The obsession that appears to have tipped the gunman over the edge was a conspiracy theory insinuating that the migrant caravan currently making its way through southern Mexico, and which President Donald Trump and conservative media have treated as an existential threat to the United States, is a Jewish plot.
https://www.vox.com/2018/10/29/18037580/pittsburgh-shooter-anti-semitism-racist-jewish-caravan


Following these Right White Radical Republican murders Trump doubled down on the white racism. He continued to attempt to provoke white people to be terrified of the destitute and desperate brown people headed this way -- even a Fox News Commentator came out and said Trump was fear mongering. Fox News, arguably the preferred news outlet for racists worldwide, removed a racist ad Trump put out too.

White supremacy has been above board and on the table for a while now. But Trump put a giant spotlight on his white supremacy over the last two weeks. And he knows what he's doing. He knows his base loves him for his white supremacy, not in spite of it as the mainstream press would have you believe.

And some white liberals are going for this. Some white liberals still believe white people voted for Trump and against Hillary because Hillary was awkward during some of her press events, because they didn't like her personality.

It is just beyond some white liberals ken that their mothers, fathers, sisters, uncles, and cousins love Trump BECAUSE of his white supremacy. They have never ever heard mama, daddy and nem say the n-word or set a cross on fire, therefore mama, daddy, and nem can't be white supremacists loving white supremacy. 

The white dominated, main stream press has tried to obscure the motives of white republican voters during hate week (the week of the shootings) though they are probably unaware of doing so. White people, in general, hate saying other white people are doing bad things in the name of whiteness. Like the would be Dylann Roof said in Kentukcy, "White people don't shoot other white people." And they don't. The white press doesn't even want to do so verbally.  

This is why the white dominated press said Cesar Sayoc targeted democrats -- which he did. But what Sayoc mostly did was target a set of not-white people called "black people," (damn near all of whom hate Chump and are therefore Democrats. )
The two people shot in and near Kroger by Gregory Bush in Kentucky were not-white people (black) too. 
And, again, Jewish people are not counted as white once the white supremacy crosses a certain threshold especially when they reach out to help brown people, like those in the Caravan. This is why those killed at the Tree Of Life Synagogue likely became even less white to a white racist like Radical White Right Murderer, Robert Bowers
After that tax cut for this country's very white one-percenters and the resulting 17% increase in the deficit, the only thing trickling down form the White House is white supremacy.  

And it's obvious to all but the willfully stupid and/or racist.

Trump is indirectly responsible for the deaths of more than a dozen Americans, those that are black and those considered not-quite- white- enough (Jewish people).  And if Cesar Sayoc had been a more competent bomber President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Vice President Biden, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Robert DeNiro and other vocally anti-racist, anti hatred-of-immigrants, and anti-Trump politicians would have been statistics as well. 


The only reign of terror we can end for sure is Trump's. All we have to do is vote. By voting we can cut away some of the hedge around him by voting those right wing suckers out and replacing them with democrats who are a lot more benign ...even if they are not even planning to be effective.

Bottomline: If the left gets control of the House and maybe the Senate too (unlikely), then the Hater In Chief's protection is greatly reduced.

So vote like your life and the lives of your children depend on it, because it probably does. And like someone wrote the other day:


If you don't have somebody at the table to represent you, then you will wind up on the menu. 
Midterm Election 2018 is nothing less than a referendum on white supremacy.  So make somebody in a MAGGOT hat cry. Go out and vote somebody black or brown into office. Go out and vote against the white supremacists even if you can't find anybody black or brown to vote for. Just vote.

Our democracy is on a back hill slide that we need to stop before we can start inching forward again, regardless of what you think of those called  "the democrats."
VOTE

Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting: At Least 11 Dead and Gunman Identified As Robert D Bowers

Feeling rebloggy




PITTSBURGH — Shouting anti-Semitic slurs, a man opened fire in a Pittsburgh synagogue Saturday morning, killing at least 11 people and wounding several others, city officials said. President Trump described the shooting as a “wicked act of mass murder” that was “pure evil.” 
The suspect, identified by law enforcement officials as Robert D. Bowers, 46 [ a republican so radical and racist, Orange Chump isn't good enough for him] surrendered to the police after barricading himself inside a third-floor office of the synagogue, the Tree of Life Congregation in eastern Pittsburgh. Four police officers were among the wounded, the authorities said...

MIGRANT CARAVANS: POVERTY, MURDER, & BEATINGS IN THE REAR VIEW AS THEY JUMP THE COYOTE

Feeling Rebloggy


A caravan of an estimated 7,000 migrants, including many families and women with children, originated in Central America and is making its way through Mexico towards the United States. Today, President Donald Trump announced via Twitter that he will start cutting, or substantially reducing, aid to Central America. According to research and advocacy group the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), this would be acounterproductive reaction that would undermine efforts to address the root causes of migration, namely, violence, corruption, poverty, and lack of economic opportunity.  



1. Why are people leaving? And why are they leaving now?
Severe insecurity: Honduras and El Salvador are among the deadliest places in the world that aren’t war zones—Small Arms Survey ranked the two countries in the top 5 most violent in the world, alongside Venezuela, Syria, and Afghanistan. Guatemala was 17th, ahead of Colombia and Mexico. Repressive policing and in some cases outright abuse by government security forces has done little to turn the tide. 
Droughts, floods, and other [climate change] phenomena
Lack of economic opportunity [for men leads to...] 
Intolerable situations of domestic violence [for women]
2. Can Trump cut aid to Central America?

    
     Deb Lynn Translation 
- Not without congress 
-And only if he wants to drive even more people out of Honduras and El Salvador, who will trek to the United States in even larger numbers.
 3. Why are people traveling as a caravan?

    Deb Lynn Translation 

Coyotes are expensive criminals and travel with them leads to as many beatings, murders, and rapes as the criminals back home they're running from. The Caravan provides safety in numbers. 
 4. What happened to the migrant caravan that attracted so much vitriol from President Trump earlier this year?


Hundreds were allowed to petition for asylum. 
What happened to those that weren't is unknown. 
What we probably do know is that all the publicity caused by Pontificating Pumpkinhead Pretend Prez probably led to this new one being so large.  I have to wonder how many smaller caravans came to U.S. --without any publicity at all-- over years and decades before Trump's big mouth made knowledge of their existence widely known. 
 And now he wants to cut aid to countries, making them even less attractive to stay in.  

What a dumb ass.


We absolutely cannot have open borders. We absolutely cannot have somebody this dumb in charge while we're figuring out what to do. But here we are anyway.

Southern California white nationalist leaders arrested; private messages reveal effort to 'reimagine' movement

Feeling Rebloggy

 [Robert Rundo and three others of The Rise Above Movement were all] charged with traveling to incite or participate in riots, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles... 
Federal authorities said the group was founded in late 2016 or early 2017 by Rundo and Daley, originally branded as “DIY DIVISION.” 
The group grew in numbers through use of social media, on which they coordinated combat training before political events and bragged about the violence to recruit members. 
Posts include video clips of members assaulting people at political events, their faces covered by distinctive skeleton or U.S. flag masks. In one February post, the group posted a photo of members covering their faces with books, along with the text: “When the squads not out smashing commies . . . #nationalist #lifestyle...”
By the way, the Orange Menace of White House fame described himself as a nationalist this week too, while in Texas...where that sort of thing goes over very well.  

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-nationalist-texas-rally-1182223

Earlier this year, I complained that the white dominated mainstream news media leaves the "white" out when commenting on white supremacists call themselves "white nationalists," opting to shorten the description to "nationalist."

I hereby withdraw my complaint.



If the "white" is understood without it being stated by somebody as lame-brained as Trump then everybody understands that "nationalist" is short for "white nationalist" no matter what lie Agent Orange Menace comes up with in order to cover up his true white supremacist leanings.

NEARLY 3000 DEAD BUT TRUMP BRAGS ABOUT THE SLOW RESPONSE TO PUERTO RICO

Feeling Rebloggy
Trump was asked what lessons the government could take from 2017 as the federal government prepares for Hurricane Florence to barrel into the mid-Atlantic coast later this week.
I think probably the hardest one we had by far was Puerto Rico because of the island nature, and I actually think it was one of the best jobs that’s ever been done with respect to what this is all about," Trump told reporters during an Oval Office briefing on the projected path of Florence."The job that FEMA, and law enforcement and everybody did working along with the governor in Puerto Rico, I think was tremendous," Trump added. "I think that Puerto Rico was an incredible, unsung success."

IF YOU'RE FEELING CONFLICTED ABOUT OMAROSA, IT'S OKAY

Feeling Rebloggy


J BERNARD JONES SAID...

It's entirely fine if you have conflicted feelings about Omarosa.

No, she doesn't deserve a single shred of sympathy. She not only deserves all the scorn heaped on her, but her cookout invite should be thrown in the fire and not held in reserve.

However, it is possible to admire Omarosa in an At-Least-Moussolini-Ran-The-Trains-On-Time way.

Omarosa has a ruthless Machiavellian skill in handling every situation: extraordinary poise, directness, the eerie controlling calm that s
o many passive aggressive white people use against people of color ("calm down," "you're getting emotional," "this is how this is going to go", etc.).

As a person of color, she's playing the game every white shift manager, mid-level manager, VP of human resources and CEO uses to run a conversation, to control a topic, to set their own agenda. She's a black woman who can out-white white women, too: she's no stranger to deploying "white tears" when the situation calls for it.

You can admire all of that, you can even cheer her on for turning the tables on Herr Führer Trump and you can do that without having a single shred of sympathy for Omarose Onee Manigault Newman.

THREATENED WHITE PEOPLE IN A BROWNING AMERICA


I've been saying this over and over for a few years now. White people afraid of the demographic shift toward black and brown are at the heart of the vitriol in our politics.



From Vox  
In 2008, Barack Obama held up change as a beacon, attaching to it another word, a word that channeled everything his young and diverse coalition saw in his rise and their newfound political power: hope. An America that would elect a black man president was an America in which a future was being written that would read thrillingly different from our past.
In 2016, Donald Trump wielded that same sense of change as a threat; he was the revanchist voice of those who yearned to make America the way it was before, to make it great again.  
That was the impulse that connected the wall to keep Mexicans out, the ban to keep Muslims away, the birtherism meant to prove Obama couldn’t possibly be a legitimate president. An America that would elect Donald Trump president was an America in which a future was being written that could read thrillingly similar to our past.
This is the core cleavage of our politics, and it reflects the fundamental reality of our era: America is changing, and fast. According to the Census Bureau, 2013 marked the first yearthat a majority of US infants under the age of 1 were nonwhite. The announcement, made during the second term of the nation’s first African-American president, was not a surprise. 
Demographers had been predicting such a tipping point for years, and they foresaw more to come.
And it is THIS that Bernie and his bro-s keeping trying to cover up with the *white working class people were desperate for change so they voted for Trump* bullsh**" Study after study came out after the 2016 election. And what prompted Trumpthuglicans to vote for Trump was maintaining white supremacy.
To be more specific, it's the white supremacy failing that's brought back overt racism in a big way. White people are going to fail at being numerically superior and that is scaring them. 
And a scared dominating demographic is a dangerous demographic. 
Cops, as the leading edge of white supremacy, keep the world order as it "should be." It is no accident we're seeing so many white people harass and kill black and brown people while police (then prosecutors and judges) standby and watch it, then endorse it. 
These MAGA Maggots are trying to hold the white line.

And the political leaders among them are completely aware of this, even if the run-of-the-mill Trumpthugican doesn't know he or she is motivated by protecting white supremacy. The average Trumpthuglican thinks their motivations regarding immigration are based on "law and order." 

Well white republicans have been beating the law-and-order drum forever and it seems like the laws they want ordered have to do with black and brown people. For example, black and brown crack addicts were the weakest scum of the earth. But now that white mommy's are passing out in grocery stores while their toddler tries to wake them up, now drug addiction is a "disease" and people need help -- instead of a mandatory prison sentence for 5 grams. 

New rules slashing crack cocaine sentences go into effect(2011)

https://www.cnn.com/2011/11/01/justice/crack-cocaine-sentencing/index.html
Fear Of A Black And Brown Planet (and Country) is why Steve Bannon is pushing folks to tell Trump to make immigration and his wall a big deal again. Bannon and Trump, both, know that stoking the fears of white supremacists (his base) will energize them to vote in November.
We, the coalition of black, brown, and just 1/3rd of white people, have to be energized back and overwhelm them at the voting booths come November 2018 and again in November 2020.

A little less than 2/3rds of white people voted for an obvious white supremacist. Black and brown people are in a political battle for our lives and the people we have as leaders are Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. It's as critical we get rid of these spineless poll-readers as it is we get rid of all the republicans we can. 

Anybody who pretended to NOT KNOW "Trump is a racist" until Charlottesville and STILL cannot string those four words together in public is too weak to lead anybody anywhere.
We have republicans AND democrats to drive out of office.
