But we were only there for a little while, and Trump hadn’t even arrived yet, before they decided they wanted us out. A police officer came over and told us we had to leave. He was joined by other officers. They said they couldn’t tell us why they were kicking us out until we left the building.

As they escorted us out, the rest of the crowd started screaming, “Trump! Trump! Trump!” It was very traumatizing—seeing some of our white classmates screaming at us while we were being escorted out… like, we all go to the same school, we all pay to go there. We started putting our fists up, like the black power sign, but it was very traumatizing.

They first took us to a very tight stairwell, where anything could have happened. Then they told us we couldn’t stay in the building, so they took us outside, even though we weren’t protesting—we didn’t have any signs, and weren’t making any noise. We were just being silent.

Once we got outside, they tried to say Trump wanted us out, that it was a private event that we had to have tickets for. We had all printed out our tickets, so when we showed them to them, they had to move on from that subject once they figured out that that lie wasn’t right. Basically, they just told us that Trump didn’t want us there, that he ordered us to leave. They ordered us all the way off the grounds before we could leave.

Seeing everyone scream at us and being hateful for no reason—we were very peaceful, never in my life been kicked out of a place—it felt as if we were back in the civil rights movement. Having all the blacks who had come together get kicked out, having everyone screaming at us, cheering as we left, they were happy that we were leaving, it was very scary.

1. It is really turning ugly!

Trump and the GOP are not joking. They mean what they are saying. Their actions speak loud and clear.

2. Trump scares me too.

Neonazis and other white supremacy groups are flocking to the guy.

His rallies are getting just like those of another chest-pounding racist that came to power in Germany during the 1930s.

5. This doesn't surprise me. The fact that he took his sweet time to denounce David duke reiterates t

The man is a racist and bigot. And many of his followers are too.

6. K&R for visibility...

ever since Obama was elected, overt racism has been on a big rise. Now we have Trump. If you aren't scared, you aren't paying attention.
