It's Racism, Stupid

Here's a blog post from right after Trump got elected in November 2016, with a picture of the front page of The Chosun Ilbo, a conservative South Korean newspaper.  The translation is "Angry Whites, America Overthrown."

Here are a pack of Trump Youth in D.C. this past weekend surrounding, harassing, and terrorizing a Native American vet who was performing a song of remembrance.  As mentioned on The Splinter, "it's the smile that stays with you."

I can only add that while a right-wing South Korea paper called out Trump for what he was two years ago -- a product of potent and thoroughly toxic racism and white identity politics, the American media is still flailing and throwing out garbage excuses of "economic anxiety" for why a pack of rich, privileged young white men from a tony private school felt safe and assured in threatening and trying to silence a much older man of color.

Because it's racism, stupid.  It always has been and always will be.
