It's as if he's saying our accomplishments earned through hard work, blood, sweat and tears rightfully belongs to White Americans.

That should scare the hell out of all racial minorities and we need to be alert and vigilant.

As of last month, they dont know it, but I have my kids and parents( all citizens) ready to evacuate to a safer country at a moment's notice if and when see Trump/ Bannon beginning to get aggressive towards us...Im staying put tho.

Joe Biden said Obama was the first black candidate who was bright, articulate and clean.

If Bannon had said that...

Although legal KS hasn't used the death penalty sine 1965.

Maybe they'll do the right thing if the accused is convicted.

I'll be sure to send an angry email to Joe Biden

In the meantime, we need to watch Trump/ Bannon closely.

I can still remember being surprised when people within the Sikh/Hindu Indian community began to support Trump because of his Muslim ban proposal. So much support that Trump even made an ad in Hindi talking about how we would defeat radical Islamic terrorism. For those who may not know, Sikhs and Hindus have a rather bloody past with Muslims. So, many times I have heard "I am not Muslim so it does not bother me and they deserve it anyways."

My response always was "you really think those stupid racists who are for Trump will know you are a Sikh or Hindu? You think they will stop and ask you if you are Muslim and then shoot you? People from Pakistan and Bangladesh look like us and they are usually Muslims so how would the typical racist know? Don't think you are safe from the the Muslim hate or that they deserve it. "

Everyone would go "oh..." as if they never considered this could actually happen to them. And now, it is happening. This Hindu Indian man was confused for a Middle Eastern Muslim. He got told to leave the country and then got shot. This is why hatred is so wrong and we need to stand by each other. These racists are really rallied up thanks to Trump. I had to buy pepper spray the other day because for the first time ever, I feel like I may be targeted.

Just stop. Just stop. Just stop. Do not accidentally team up with the people who hate you. What is honestly going on with this world? These things should not be happening anymore.

That should scare the hell out of all Americans, period.

If it comes to it, I will fight for my fellow Americans if crap hits the fan. We need to need to be better than this and remind the world why we're a beacon of freedom and acceptance.

Political propaganda is what gave him the mindset to be racist and tell them "to get out of his country". That's not political opportunism, thats the reality of the situation.

Glad I moved away from these awful places to California. We can expect at least 4 years of talent and high tech business fleeing the few footholds they made in the middle of the country for more diverse and tolerant states.

Big houses and cheap gas aren't worth risking your family's safety.
