Yep, I'm a racist, a bigot and I hate

all Muslims. In fact if I could talk to Jesus and he would guarantee I could still get in Heaven. I would kill every Muslim I see.
That is what a no longer a friend told me. He is a Trump supporter and I ask him if he agreed with Trumps bigotry and that is what he told me. That is the kind of hate Trump people have. I have met so many vile racist here in Montana. They dropped the voting rights act because there is no more racism in America. BULLSHIT.

It is scary to me how much white racism and white supremacy there is out there. Frequently dressed up as concern for the future of Western civilization (read white privilege). With poor Jesus (who was actually named something like Yeshua) dragged in, bleached to give him green eyes and light brown hair, to serve as a prop for their hatred. Not even a cover, but an actual prop. And I suspect it is getting worse.

The parable of the Good Samaritan is a didactic story told by Jesus in Luke 10:25–37. It is about a traveler (who may or may not have been a Jew[1]) who is stripped of clothing, beaten, and left half dead alongside the road. First a priest and then a Levite come by, but both avoid the man. Finally, a Samaritan comes by. Samaritans and Jews generally despised each other, but the Samaritan helps the injured man. Jesus is described as telling the parable in response to the question from a lawyer, "And who is my neighbour?" whom Leviticus 19:18 says should be loved. Jesus answers him his question in who is his neighbour, but also tells him to love his neighbour.[2] His answer corresponds to his words the Gospel of Matthew 5:43-48, to love his enemy.

Portraying a Samaritan in a positive light would have come as a shock to Jesus' audience.[3] It is typical of his provocative speech in which conventional expectations are inverted.[3]

7. "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”

At first, we thought Trump was circus clown, but behind his idiotic facade is a fascist. Trump has stirred up bigotry by playing to voters’ secret fears and prejudices. Like other fascist leaders -- Il Duce and Der Fuhrer -- The Donald offers a comic book image of a tough guy, a strongman who can fix it... promise.

Trump uses the same divisive tactics as the fascists of the last century, he manipulates truth and fact to fit his narrative of the moment to cultivate suspicion toward the "other". He claims to be a super-patriot, but everything he says he'll do as president would destroy every right we have guaranteed by the Constitution.
