Examples Of Racism In The United States

Improved Essays
Our president isn't as racist as the leftist try to make it. Obama was the racist one and it showed. The lefts don't want to admit it. Sure, Trump has sad some 'sensitive' things in a way people may cry over. I don't think he's racist as people make him seem. But anyway, you missed my point. I never said it was 'okay' for what white people did in the past. Never have I said that. You just jumped to that conclusion on your own. I do not condemn ANY treatment of ANY HUMAN BEING. It looks like you find it acceptable with whites becoming victims of racism. INNOCENT WHITE PEOPLE THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PAST. YOU ARE INCITING HARM ON THEM. You're the one whose sick here buddy. You just want to try to prove your racism based off of PAST ACTIONS.
