This article was written by a southern republican black man who proudly believes in many republican beliefs, and defends the party when it is accused of being racist. However, the author, Isaac Bailey, believes that Donald Trump has brought out the true status of racism in America. Trump has exposed America for being as bigoted as it really is by threatening to kick out all the Mexicans and Muslims. People thought that after Obama was elected, we had beat racism, but Trump has been, “a blessing and a curse,” in showing that that is indeed false. Now Bailey hopes that Trump has opened the eyes of the population to see that America is still extremely unjust and racist. It has sparked many uprisings and protest that would have not occurred without Trump. Although it seems crazy to say, if it weren’t for Trump’s racist comments, people would not have been as scared, and would not have started taking American racism as seriously. Bailey believes that this now puts a lot more power in the hands of white Americans. Americans of color are most likely going to be against Trump due to how racist he is, leaving only the white Americans left over to decide whether or not he will be our next president.
Do you agree that Trump’s outspoken racism has been a good thing, in the way that it raises awareness, or a bad thing in that it brings out the extreme conservative Americans who are also incredibly racist?
I would say Trump's racism has been more of a negative, due to the state that we're in as a country right now. Racism has recently been a huge issue , and all Trump is doing is adding flame to the fire. As someone who has the chance to be President, his influence is far to great to be so outspokenly racist.
ReplyDeleteI also think that Trumps racism is a bad thing. There is a lot of racial tension among our nation right now and with someone as influential as Trump publicly being racist more issues could arise. -Ryan

ReplyDeleteI do not agree with Trump's blatant racism. I feel he is ultimately building an empire with his supporters full of racists, sexist, and ill centered people. It's really upsetting to see the negativity that he is bringing in our communities. I really hope we won't have to deal with him being POTUS. God forbid that even happens. - Deb K
