More racism in the name of Donald Trump

Trump. A Shield for Racism? Pt. 2

Last week, I wrote about incidents where people have been acting violently towards minorities, harassing them, and calling them slurs while using Trump's name as justification:

This article will be bringing more of these acts to your attention. In Clay, West Virginia, the mayor and an employee of the mayor have resigned for their racist Facebook post. The conversation goes as follows: "It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful. dignified First Lady back in the White House. I'm tired of seeing a (sic) Ape in heels." Mayor Beverly Whaling replied to the post saying "Just made my day Pam (employee's name)."

In places such as New York and Philadelphia have seen acts of racist graffiti drawings. In Wellsville, New York, the words "Make America White Again" was found on the same day that Trump won the election. Along with the words, a swastika was sprayed.

Even in our own state of Maryland, in Silver Spring where many Spanish-Speaking churches are located, a banner and wall of the Episcopal Church of Our Savior has defaced with the words "Trump Nation whites only."

Trump has brought in the idea that racism is okay now that Trump is becoming president. Like I said in my other article, we have to take action to hold people accountable and put an end to this before it is too late.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
