I don't know where you're from or what you been through...but all of that has been going on the ENTIRE fukkING TIME. Preferring to know where people ACTUALLY STAND politically and philosophically does not = I prefer crazy white people don't that don't stop short of actual murder.
Cops and Dylan Roof's BEEN moving this way long before Trump, the fact that IT'S ON FRONT STREET means people, especially black people who think shyt is sweet due to cacs, mostly liberals deciding to keep their racism covert is one less reason to get complacent.
The statement means, for me at least as someone who has actually had serious issues with the klan, that i'd rather see a 'maga' sign in some crackers yard than have them pretending to be 'good' white people coming to borrow sugar and be cordial til the fukking pitchforks come out. Some just auto-hate and distrust everybody white off the rip and I don't blame them if that's where they're at.
But for everyone else who's not set on living in a segregated society, yes, I'm HAPPY that white people who hold abhorrent views are making themselves known rather than hiding their hands for a multitude of reasons.
Most importantly, the whole reason we are cycling back around to overt racism and other issues that seem like they are from another time is because we tried to sweep the shyt under the rug instead of actually addressing the issues on a substantive level.
If you ignore a toothache the symptoms eventually get strong enough to not ignore. TRUMP is a perfect reflection of this country, it's history and unanswered for sins. He is the embodiment of capitalism, even before he was POTUS and the issues that his presence highlight are the blaring symptoms of the sickness of white supremacy.
Compare his behavior to that of Bill "the first black president" Clinton, I'll take the overt racism if only for the fact that nobody would be under the illusion that he was anything but poison for black people and this country overall.
