He won the presidency with open appeals to white nationalism. Perhaps this time it'll take him out.


(Raw Story) On CNN Wednesday, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said it was unlikely President Donald Trump would move forward with his planned speech on racial unity, reportedly being written by White House adviser Stephen Miller, in the wake of criticism over his rhetoric around George Floyd’s death and his refusal to rename military bases named for Confederate officers.

“These are all self-inflicted wounds. These are all errors of his own making,” said Haberman. “Whether they end up mattering in the fall, we don’t know. But you look at the current polling across the board, it is hurting him right now.”

“There seems to be some debate over at the White House, Maggie, over whether the president will in fact address this moment with the speech on race and unity,” said anchor Wolf Blitzer. “What are you hearing about his advisers? What are they recommending? They can recommend anything they want, but in the end the president has to make the final decision.” ........(more)

I'm white. I don't hate my whiteness, if anything, my disgust of white nationalism comes from the fact that I am OK with being white.

I see race as a social construct; it's something we create, it's not divine, natural, or biological.

It's not "white genocide" or "cultural marxism" that poses a hazard to white people... it's white nationalism.

Have you seen white nationalism? Have you seen white nationalists? James Alex Fields? Dylann Roof? That Identity Evropa guy who was having an affair with the wife of his father-in-law?

They're inbred degenerates. I don't want to touch them with a pole that is ten feet long.

Take the Jerry Springer show and turn it into a person, give it a little brain damage, make the family tree it has loop on itself, and give it a dash of meth... OK, a handful of meth. That's white nationalism.

Protest marches, statues being pulled down, he had to hide & barracade himself in the WH, laws of KKK in policing & business, small to corporate being challenged & changed, the global middle finger to Trump's White Supremacy, ..he outed them thru his Campaign, made them step boldly from the shadows, & it has backfired like they never expected.
