Can we please make a bigger deal about Stephen Miller, one of Trump& #39;s advisors & speech writer, mama-birding "catchy slogans" with racist history into @realDonaldTrump& #39;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">https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch...
History of racism in America should be taught through all levels of school. It& #39;s built into politics, social structures, economy, etc. So let& #39;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">https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch...
Let& #39;s not forget that he& #39;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& #39;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.
