Ironic all Confederate statues are being pulled down and removed during the most racist Presidency.

Trump, our most racist president has caused this. I find it delicious. History books will be talking about Trump's racism. And they will be talking about 2020 address of black injustices and systematic racism. Trump helped strongly to fire up the nation, the very opposite of what he represents.

And the Supremacist feared it was going to happen with our first black President.

racial problems noticed that things were actually pretty nice when we had our first black President and aren't giving any of these neo-Confederates any slack any more.

His presence drove America's racists crazy and that resulted in Trump's election. Trump poured kerosene on their rage.
