Really wish white allies would stop pointing out incidents of racism as "Trump's America".

Dr. King & Malcolm X were killed in Johnson's America.

4 Black schoolgirls were bombed to death in Kennedy's America.

Emmitt Till was killed in Eisenhower's America.

IT'S JUST AMERICA.
We gotta correct this NOW because our community cannot afford our allies to abandon us after Trump is gone on some "phew! Glad racism has finally been defeated!" shit.

We can't afford for yall to stop listening just because this one administration is voted out.
And NEWSFLASH: a lot of this violent populist racism would've existed even if Hillary Clinton won. This extremism would've easily been "Clinton's America."
There are so many things that are unprecedentedly unique to "Trump's America". The naked treason. The authoritarian-esqe contempt for the free press. The propagation of pussy-grabbing.

But violent, systematic racism isn't one of them.
