“Funny how the Trump Administration can spot racism nearly 8,000 miles away, but not the bigotry right under its nose.
It's outraged by genocide that doesn't exist in South Africa but ignores the descendants of people brought to America on slave ships, forced into free labor, and subjected to innumerable rapes, countless lynchings, and brutalization for more than two centuries.
You've probably seen video of President Donald Trump welcoming South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to the White House May 21. The meeting quickly turned from courteous to contentious after Trump accused the South African government of seizing land from White landowners. Trump then played two video clips full of false claims about the genocide of farmers and handed out copies of news stories purporting to expose the truth.
[…]
Despite Ramaphosa countering those false claims with facts, Trump insisted that when a White farmer is killed, little is done in response. The South African leader acknowledged that while criminal activity does occur in his country, most victims are Black. Additional fact checking has shown that images Trump presented of dead farmers are from Congo, not South Africa.
I've long felt the Trump Administration harbored a troubling undercurrent of racism. What's surfaced over the first months of his second term is outright intolerance. It isn't just the Ramaphosa ambush or the welcoming of South Africans to be resettled in this country using the same false claims of persecution.
Look at Trump's attack on DEI and his executive orders which have struck hard at the heart of African American communities, delivering a blow so severe that it cannot be ignored. Or his desire to resurrect Confederate statues and memorials.”

Trump doesn’t worry about racism in the US at all; in fact, Trump himself is a racist – his hatred of Black Americans and other Americans of color is well documented, along with the racism, bigotry, and hate of Trump voters, supporters, and defenders.
Indeed, Trump’s immigration policy is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate, seeking to lawlessly remove immigrants of color from the country while welcoming white immigrants and fellow racists with open arms.
