An excerpt from Salon -
Stop acting surprised, America: Donald Trump is a white supremacist
Trump has made clear to America for decades where he stands on race. It's long past time to accept the facts
By CHAUNCEY DEVEGA
The facts are self-evident. Donald Trump is a white supremacist. The Republican Party — despite its duplicitous and hypocritical claims to the contrary — is the country’s largest white supremacist and white identity organization. Together, Donald Trump and the Republicans are waging a war against black and brown people’s liberty and freedom with the goal of overturning the modest gains of the Civil Rights Movement. Republican voters are, generally speaking, supportive of this racist crusade.
Yet many Americans somehow continue to react with shock, surprise or amazement, and claim to be baffled by Donald Trump’s slavish devotion to white supremacy. In reality, this is one of the few areas of Trump’s public and private life where he has shown a remarkable amount of dedication, consistency and discipline.
