Bannon joined racist group on Facebook.

Bannon joined a conservative Facebook group that has featured racist and extreme material. This material includes posts urging a military coup against President Barack Obama, featuring an image of the president dressed as an SS officer, celebrating the Confederate flag, highlighting a photoshopped picture of Obama with watermelons, praising a police officer who called Obama a "F*cking Nigger," and calling for Obama to be "executed as a traitor."

as if it was only people who didn't like him calling him that to be contrary, instead of all the evidence that proves he's a racist.

Just look at some of the stories on Bannon recently..."Critics say" and "Critics allege".
