President Trump’s old slogan should be updated to reflect his reality. Instead of ‘Make America Great Again’, it should be ‘Make America Hate Again’. This has been evident to all modern thinking Americans; however, in case someone missed it, the rally in South Carolina put an exclamation point on that idea.
The ‘Send Them Back’ chants were not just disgusting, but black-letter-law illegal. Which, of course, further emphasizes the fact that they believe that the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and Bill of Rights are only to protect white people from the thundering herd.
Over the last few years we have discovered how despicable the President is, and that the office of the President, which deserves respect, is not the same as the person who is elected to the office who, in this case, does not deserve respect, nor should be treated with respect.
But, the biggest surprise to me is the legions of bigots who have come out to his rallies, indicating the depth of the hate that still exists in the white South. I used to say that it would take 500 years before the ingrained bigotry of the South would go away . . jokingly, because why would people choose to remain backward and ignorant? Why would you really choose to cut off your nose to spite your face . . . unless, you liked the way it made you look.
However, 500 years is probably what it will take to erase the stain of ignorance and hatred that still permeates the white South.
