The sound of silence

What is this racism of which you speak?


Can we please once and for all end the charade that not all republicans are racists?

In the wake of Iowa Rep. Steve King's tweet in support of comments by Geerts Wilder, a white nationalist from Denmark, which he followed up by saying that white babies are more important to the future of the United States than any other baby of color, the response from republican leaders--or just republicans in general--has been about as loud as a scream in outer space.  The only republican to comment has been Paul Ryan, who gave merely the party line trope that he hoped Rep. King had misspoke knowing full well that King had already stood behind his remarks.

Rep. King continued to ride the crazy train later by claiming that African-Americans and Latinos would be at each other's throats before white folks in America would become a minority.

After a few more years of Donald Trump, my guess is the throats African-Americans and Latinos are going at won't be each others', but more likely the throats of white nationalists like Steve King and his republican enablers.

Fuck Donald Trump,
