Just because Trump is the distillation of everything that is wrong with the United States at this time, doesn't mean that our country has always been this way.

We still have a dark history, a very dark history.

From Wounded Knee, The Tulsa Race Riots and more than I can address.

Now we have a 'Resident that wants to 'whitewash' America so to speak and it won't be for the first time that America has tried to do that.
