1. If you believe the U.S. is fundamentally a white nation, and that people of color born or naturalized here are in ANY way less American than you, you might be a racist...
2. If you believe people of color should be especially uncritical of the U.S. because it's "better than where they would otherwise be" (but don't say this about Europeans, even the ones from poorer nations/communities), you might be a racist...
3. If you believe people of color who criticize the U.S. should "go back where their ancestors came from" before criticizing America, but don't say the same to white critics, you might be a racist...
4. If you believe Melania Trump is more American than Ilhan Omar, you might be a racist...If you believe Donald Trump is more American than Barack Obama, you might be a racist...
5. If you believe the U.S. must retain a white majority (numerically and in terms of power) in order to be a great nation, you might be a racist...
6. If you believe the U.S. should limit immigration by people of color (documented or undocumented) but allow white immigrants to enter in relatively unlimited numbers, you might be a racist...
7. If you believe it is ok to hold children of color in cages in a way you would NEVER do with white children, you might be a racist...
8. If you believe police should be able to randomly stop and frisk black people simply because the aggregate crime rate is higher in black communities, you might be a racist...
9. If you believe the U.S. was truly "great" in the 1950s, or at any point before the victories of the civil rights movement, such that we should go back that kind of greatness (and don't understand why it wasn't great for millions of people) you might be a racist...
10. If you believe undocumented Mexican migrants should be rounded up in ICE raids, but don't call for the same for the undocumented Canadians, Irish, and other Europeans who overstayed visas, you might be a racist...(and if u think they all should be you're an asshole)
11. If you don't mind the government programs that created the white middle class and supports it (GI Bill, FHA loans, New Deal programs, Medicare, etc) but get upset when government programs benefit people of color, you might be a racist...
12. If you get more upset about Mexicans "taking American jobs" than white executives downsizing and sending jobs away to make more profits for themselves and shareholders, you might be a racist...
13. If you get more upset about affirmative action supposedly taking your kids' slot in college than the legacy admissions or well-connected white folks that more likely "bumped" your child, you might be a racist...

There is nothing that Trump and his supporters enjoy more than 'owning the libs' and they will literally go to no ends in order to achieve their dreams.

This includes contributing to the planet's plastic problem because Trump's team doesn't like the fact that paper straws are now a thing and plastic straws are slowly being phased out.

On the merchandise section of Trump's official website, supporters can now purchase a pack of 10 red plastic straws with the word 'Trump' printed on it for the pricey sum of $15.

Yup, that's right, that's $1.50 per straw. Or, if you're from the Uk, £1.20. Which, we're going to ahead and point out is more than the recommended retail price of a can of coca cola.

The relevant question is not whether Trump is a racist. Of course he is. Or whether he’s going to continue bashing these members of Congress, who fill all his demonization boxes: Democrats, females, people of color, a Muslim. Of course he will.

The real question is whether the people bankrolling Trump and the Republican party are going to stop this rot before it consumes the politics of 2020, and perhaps more.

JP Morgan isn’t the only Wall Street firm backing Republicans. Between April and June, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell collected $3m but just 9% of it came from individuals in his home state, Kentucky. The biggest block came from Wall Street hedge funds like the Blackstone Group ($95,400), KKR ($51,000), and Apollo Global Management and Golden Tree Management ($65,100).

Why is Wall Street funding Trump’s GOP? Because it is delighted with what Trump and Senate Republicans are giving it: tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks.

Dimon was instrumental in getting the Trump-Republican tax cut through Congress. Last year it saved JP Morgan and the other big banks $21bn.

“A Gretna police officer posted a comment on his Facebook page this past week calling U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a ‘vile idiot’ who ‘needs a round, and I don’t mean the kind she used to serve,'” NOLA reported Saturday.

“The comment, which alludes to the freshman Democrat’s past work as a New York City bartender while apparently saying she should be shot, comes amid increasing scrutiny of racist and violent social media posts by police officers in departments across the country,” NOLA added.

The officer, Charlie Rispoli, has been on the force since 2005.

“I’m not going to take this lightly and this will be dealt with on our end,” Chief Arthur Lawson said. “It’s not something we want someone that’s affiliated with our department to make these types of statements. That’s not going to happen.”

So the President is the United States is (again) retweeting a woman who once wrote a column saying migrants were "cockroaches" and "feral humans" and "spreading like the norovirus," and once tweeted, “Racial profiling is a good thing. Call me racist, I don’t care.”
