the crowd is chanting “america first!” and “USA! USA!” as several among the crowd make white supremacist hand gestures



This is what it means to be a Trump supporter. Silence is complicity.

Race is just a human concept. We're all humans and physical/visual differences are just adaptation to climate.

Except for Trump supporters. I've got no problem thinking we're superior to them in every way.

I was raised to believe that we were all equal. I never once thought I was superior to anyone because I was white.

Millions of people in many cities spontaneously supporting Biden/Kamala.

Today 11,000 people went to DC to show their support for Trump. And it was planned and organized.

That has to say something. I know what I think it says.

Was probably used to build the Washington monument and a lot of the other iconic buildings in DC that they're claiming as proof of white superiority.

Read this at age 15. It had a profound impact on me.

Fun fact: The highest percent of people with the pairing of black hair and blue eyes can be found in Ireland. It is Scotland that has the most redheads.
