The Continuity of American Racism

I agree that there is an “unbroken thread.”

While we’ll never know, I theorize that we were just about to break that thread until social media came along.  If white supremacists had not been able to connect with one another so easily and in such great numbers, it’s possible that our society would have continued to marginalize these morons.

We also wouldn’t have had Trump, a president who got where he was by fanning those flames of hate.

Again, we’ll never know.
