Door opened to racism

Posted November 16, 2024 4:00 am

You got to be kidding, Bob Simmons. Donald Trump got re-elected. I am sure that improved your happiness. As an African American, there is no happiness. An NBC News anchor said on Thursday that after the announcement of Trump’s re-election, white supremacists sent messages out on social media such as “Someone is coming to your house and taking you to a concentration camp so you can go back to your slave owner.”

Does this make you happy? The Republican Party supports these white supremacists. The Daily Herald printed recently that racist text messages were sent nationwide to several states to invoke slavery.

I am sure this helps you focus on happiness. The Republican Party endorses this behavior not denouncing it. Donald Trump’s history is white supremacist going back to the 1980s. I am sure this makes you focus on your happiness. As far as I am concerned, this is a disaster. I am angry.
