Trump's Racist Imagery of the Obamas Is What White Christian Nationalism Looks Like

https://johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/trumps-racist-imagery-of-the-obamas

This comes 24 hrs after he ordered the National Park Service to stop calling Medgar Ever’s KKK assassin “a racist” AND announced a giant statue of Columbus for the White House lawn. This video might not even be the most racist thing he’s done this week.

It shouldn’t be a shock to anyone who cares about racial justice. Trump’s father was arrested at a Klan riot in Queens NY in 1927. The first time Donald Trump was ever mentioned in The NY Times was over 50 years ago, when the Nixon DoJ charged the Trumps over racist housing practices. And America’s Fake Christians will smile and tell you none of this is racist; and the media and church will play dumb.

Jesus Christ, how MAGA hates Jesus Christ.

Here I’ve assembled a little list of simple questions pertaining to Trump’s long history of racism. So when the MAGA relative or co-worker in your life seeks to deny the stark, brutally stupid prejudice of Trump, I recommend you avoid conflict, and simply ask a few questions:

Let's start with these:
1. Where was Barack Obama born, please?
2. Why was Trump fired from the apprentice?
3. Who are the Central Park 5?
4. What statues were the "very fine people" in Charlottesville marching to protect?
5. What did DT say abt Judge Curiel? . . . .
