Can we please make a bigger deal about Stephen Miller, one of Trump's advisors & speech writer, mama-birding "catchy slogans" with racist history into @realDonaldTrump's gullet? Part of the racist agenda is to plant themselves in positions of power. https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019/11/12/stephen-millers-affinity-white-nationalism-revealed-leaked-emails#.XtKNrBF0SEY.twitter
History of racism in America should be taught through all levels of school. It's built into politics, social structures, economy, etc. So let's educate ourselves. Add books, articles, resources to this thread.

David Duke realized that to gain political power, he needed to play the game. He mainstreamed the Klan image & message, spinning hate into "cultural heritage". He aligned the Klan with GOP money, platform & resources. He is a former Louisiana State Rep. https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019/05/17/white-shadow-david-dukes-lasting-influence-american-white-supremacy#.XtKPz0XBmoI.twitter
Let's not forget that he's also a con man & convicted felon, defrauding political supporters & Klan members, while preaching traditional Christian values & trying to appeal to poor, working class.

"...promising everything to everybody; appealing to the passions rather than the reason of the public; & arousing racial, religious, and class prejudices, a man whose lust for power without recourse to principle leads him to seek to become a master of the masses." Sound familiar?
It's not an accident that racism is a systemic problem. THE INFO IS OUT THERE. WE ARE LIVING IT. We need to learn the players, the playbook, the resources & institutions woven into their agenda so that we can build something better & not at the cost of black & brown bodies.
