It’s shocking how people are just now coming to terms with the fact that Trump is a bigot. Have you been sleeping? Why all the clutching of pearls now? When people show you who they are - believe them‼️

Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation.
The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism.
There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.
