Yup!

 

I'm sure many from Trump Nation would read that Mother Jones article and insist they are not like "those people" who are placing fear and dread in the minds and hearts of POC from small towns.  They are not racist, they would say, and they have no issue with POC who are living in the U.S. legally.  But the problem is that, if you give them enough time, they WILL be like them.  Give them enough time, and they, too, won't think twice about telling an African-American "you'll be [my slave] eventually," or a Hispanic that they're glad to see the government rounding up and deporting all the Hispanics (in many cases, separating parents and children), criminal record or no criminal record.  When it comes to guarding the human heart against bigotry, even well-adjusted, well-meaning people rarely stay vigilant.

I actually posted this in an entirely separate thread because this one was causing eye strain with all the jumpiness.

It would be great if someone with special moderating powers could just merge/migrate my thread into this one.
