Trump and Obama's Legacy of Racism

Day one. Every Trump cabinet official will learn how the Obama administration has made racial resentment the major focus of everything they do.

And they have been doing that daily for eight years.

Job one: The Trump brigade will have to decide whether to ignore it, pretend it is good, or rip it out by the roots.

Not one future cabinet member, or their boss at Trump Tower, has indicated they are aware of how widespread this is. How much damage it has done. Or their attitude towards it.

Let’s look at a few examples, starting with the easiest, the Department of Justice. For eight years, the two attorneys general have crusaded to let the world know there are too many black people in prison for no reason what so ever -- other than white racism.

Too many arrested. Too many prosecuted. Too many convicted. Too many sent away for too long. And once let out, too many return too soon.

If you want to stay out of prison don't break the law.

Plenty of poor uneducated white people out there, and most DON'T end up in prison, they go get a job.
