Trump's made up Black Crime graphic came from a White Supremacist



Snip: But where did this graphic come from? My first thought was that it must have originated at a white supremacist website like Stormfront, because it really is that bad. But neither Google Image search nor tineye.com found it posted at any websites. Google Images did, however, find the earliest tweet in which this horrible racist image appeared.


Here’s the bio of the person who posted it. Notice that he’s an admirer of Hitler.


And his avatar, that looks like a modified swastika, is the symbol of the neo-Nazi German Faith Movement.

So there you have it. Donald Trump is posting racist imagery that comes directly from neo-Nazis.

I hope you’re not surprised that a guy like Donald Trump, who continually spouts fascist rhetoric, is attracted to fascist memes posted by neo-Nazis. This is where the right wing has ended up in 2015.

I had to roll my eyes when I saw that graph and the picture on it. Almost right away I thought of Stormfront.

At least at DU -surprised about ANYTHING that Don Trumps says, tweets, sloganeers, etc. etc. He is a reflection of his supporters. These people exist and they aren't all members of organized separatist movements, web sites, groups, etc. etc. They are the average John and Jane Doe who chat with their black, hispanic, jewish, muslim, asian, etc. etc. neighbors while waiting in line at Shop Rite or Wegmans -

They just have another side/face that only Trump brings out.

Only a fraction will hear it's not true and of those, many won't accept the real facts.

With Trump publishing it, it's now a fact in many Americans heads.
