“Though it is hard to blame one person,” you do it anyway (“No points for prejudice,” May 25). Yep, The Donald is the cause of all the racism in the U.S., probably even the entire world. There was no racism at all before he was elected six months ago, and suddenly it’s everywhere.
And he is your president (I’ll make the assumption that you are one of the people that says, “not my president”). He was elected. He is currently a sitting president of the most powerful country in the world, and the media is doing everything they can think of to try to take him down, and Kristina Sewell is part of that media.
And if you’re going to try to blame racism on him, that is the new tactic of this past election. If you don’t like someone, call them a racist. Pure B.S.
He wasn’t my candidate, but he won the election, so he is my president.
It’s comical what they are trying to blame on Trump—basically, everything. It’s a fact that racism is getting bad, it is as bad as I’ve seen in five decades (of course, I’ve never lived in the deep South, either). But what doesn’t help is, one side or the other, blaming all their problems on the other side. Neither does hate and profanity-filled music, where a word, that apparently is not allowed to be used by people of one skin color, is repeated 200 times in a song, and accepted. Or making up some rule that only one side is truly racist, because well, only one side is truly racist (more B.S.).
We preach that we want a colorblind society, but it seems only one side wants a true colorblind society. Some seem to want something extra. That isn’t going to happen.
