KKK Leader Endorses Trump: What He Believes In, We Believe In

“The reason a lot of Klan members like Donald Trump is because a lot of what he believes in, we believe in. We want our country to be safe,” he said.

...........

While the Imperial Wizard said Obama’s presidency has been “a very good recruiting tool,” he said it’s because of Obama’s politics, not his race.

“We are not white supremacists, we’re white separatists,” the leader said on camera. “We’re not the big bad hate group people think we are.”

It’s not the first time Trump has earned the support of the KKK. Former leader David Duke endorsed the Republican in February, sparking outrage over Trump’s delayed response in distancing himself from Duke.

with the Electoral College, that one of the reasons for it's long life was the argument, at the time, between slave states and the national government that resulted in "3/5th of a human law" so the slave states could have a chance on sending a man to Washington as POTUS with the increased voting numbers.

Well the slave states today have won a major battle in the on going blue and grey war that has turned blue and red. And the kicker is, they didn't even need to have the votes this time for one of their own from a slave state...the antiquated electoral college system allowed the system to send racist northern sympathizer(s) to the WH.

And the slavers are having a field day. The racist white man and his "colored" and female surrogates are back in charge with a vengeance, this time.

I watched 'Amos and Andy,' circa early 50's rooted in 20's radio, the other day.... this show as an attempt by the media to portray black life and community of the time was a pathetic example of the still continuing racist idea that whites and white culture are superior to the POC. The upshot is that white actors in blackface were the main characters and they played their roles to the fullest extent of that racist ideology that 'resides' in the WH today. That he is being lauded by this clown under his proverbial sheet is no surprise at all and it will get worse. But what can be expected in a war?

That the civil war between POC and sympathizers and racist whites has continued this long is sickening and disgusting...ameriKKKa you lose with a world wide laughing stock as a potus shitting in the WH. And his fucking grifter family too!!!!!!!!!
