Point is, the 40 Acres and a Mule program did not end up happening as planned. Whether it was Andrew Johnson reneging on a promise or many freedmen not wanting to be moved to Latin America, hardly anyone actually ended up getting it. Why didn't many leave? Because it was all they knew and going to another place where things might (key word being "might," implying the possibility of failure) be better was a bigger risk than trying to change their own culture to treat them better. And before you treat the colonisation of Liberia as a success, between the major cultural clash between the former slaves sent there and the natives, and the fact that, well, a group of people conditioned over several generations to be field hands might not be the best fit to found and lead a country, it wasn't really that.

Just a point of clarification.

President Trump is NOT white.

Trump said a racist thing to distract from all the child rape and concentration camps.
Its called throwing a dead cat on the table.

When you are in a really uncomfortable place in a conversation throw a dead cat on the table then suddenly every ones talking about the dead cat.

He said a racist thing because it’s his 2020 campaign strategy.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Pretty much. He has abandoned any pretence of being not nasty and has gone full on evil bastard.

No, just bastard,

I don’t think he’s intelligent enough to be truly evil.

I would agree with this except that I doubt we have seen the depths of his nastiness or his evilness.  He's ramping up and his followers are joyfully awaiting the next awful bit of their character that they can put out there in full view. 

The teeny, tiny little bit of hope I have for my fellow humans erodes more every day.

@ the deafening silence and nut twisting from the gop at large....


Maybe, they just agree with his racist shitposting? Sure, it helps them get elected because it’s on brand, but they did choose to rep that brand. It’s not like there’s a sorting hat.

What would it take to get us to acknowledge that we have a bigger racist shitwad infestation than we’d like to admit?

The racist thing has always been there.  It got pushed under the surface and into corners and dark places.  Trump has made it acceptable to be public and out and proud about racism, misogyny, hatred for the LGBTQ (and whatever I may have missed).  He has not only let it into the light...he has helped it be celebrated.

As for the elected members of the GOP - playing along keeps that paycheck and all the perks flowing.  $$$$ talks.
