People are busy. They used to be able to get a decent amount of straight up news every evening from their tv in 30 minutes and stay reasonably up on things. It is shocking how much people are lied to these days and people need to be shocked. Not just say one thing and be done with it. It is going to take some effort on our part. Stop using products by their advertisers. Stop watching those channels entirely. The right are not mobilized well at all and that has to change.

This is why I try to talk about it when I can with people affected by racism. You can see anything you want online or on TV about race. I like to get first hand opinions when I can. It's a small sample pool, but I trust that more than what you get on the tube. I found his comments bizarre that he believes Trump is racist but is going to vote for him instead. I also should have asked if he believed that the liberal candidates were in his corner or if they were just pandering. I imagine he would have said the latter.

I haven't really seen anything Trump has done as president that marks him a racist. He has made some unsavory comments in the past but his policies are nowhere near geared towards discriminatory practices and anyone who believes he is that way, I would like to see an example. His policies are geared towards Americans. Rich, middle, poor, black, white, Asian, Mexican. Doesn't matter. In fact, I find it impressive how he has kept his eye on the ball throughout his presidency to keep us driving forward despite everything the left has flung at him.
