Under Trump, the US Govt is now an engine of systematic white supremacy

Over the entire existence of this country, we've had governments outwardly promote white supremacy. From anti-reconstruction support for former slave owners under Andrew Johnson, turn of the century Jim Crowism, Woodrow Wilson's endorsement of the KKK, FDR's internment of Japanese-American citizens, the tolerance for several administrations for white only access to government programs from home loans to the GI Bill, and the use of the Southern Strategy by recent GOP administrations like Nixon and Reagan. For much of the 19th and 20th centuries, there were very few presidents who were untainted by the stain of American white supremacy.

With civil and human rights campaigns, the conscience of the nation was raised, as we've tried to collectively move away from systematic white supremacy in the modern era of the last quarter century. But now, as a nation under increasingly fascistic right wing Republican terror, we've regressed with a vengeance. Just look at the way that Pence and Trump's NFL stunt cements white fragility under their campaign of white supremacy just today.

That's exactly what was behind it, outright white fragility and creating racial divisions, in order to rile up his already racist base. People who feel threatened whenever whiteness isn't being centered are the ones who are triggered by stunts like this. Just show his rubes some uppity black people and watch them totally lose their shit.

And since he couldn't get any mileage out some white-on-white violence, when a white terrorist mowed down mostly white country music concert goers in Las Vegas, he made up for it by openly sending his chief hypocrite on an expensive charade to attack some handy black NFL players.

Of course, it won't be the last time they'll go out of their way to generate anti-black animosity.

Since the beginning of this month:

- Not one word from this White House about the Nazis who have marched again in Charlottesville.

- Snubbing Native Americans while praising the genocidal mass murderer, Christopher Columbus.

- Urging his base to show outward racial animosity towards black NFL players.

- His attacks against the Mayor of San Juan and the citizens of Puerto Rico.

American white supremacy is being empowered by this President and we've seeing him use the core of white fragility to make his racist white base believed that they're being victimize. He's a danger to the republic and he's destroying it right before our very eyes.
