hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

1. Looks like Trump is taking us back to segregation.

White only buses and counters.

Women probably not allowed either.

2. Well

We can safely assume that Trump will over turn Truman's order integrating the military, just a question of when!!!

3. I have been saying for quite some time that we are entering a new era of Jim Crow.

Red state Republicans have been creating charter schools that are able to reject minority students. Some areas have created new school districts with carefully drawn lines to eliminate or minimize the number of minority students included.

The goal is total white supremacy. If you can destroy good jobs for minorities and prevent their children from getting a good education, you preserve shite power and privilege.

4. minorities should not enlist during this admin

and this is why. Don't put your life on the line for this person who considers you not important at all

5. I second that... and expand it to include ALL people of good moral

and ethical values. You cannot serve honorably in a dishonorable organization. Rather, it WILL take you down with it when it hits the skids...
