This. The people that post this crap want to foment distrust, and keep the partisan ROT alive. POC is their personal 'whine tasting' spot.
Why has the been a complete media blackout about Jimmies Fallon and Kimmel wearing blackface? Not saying it was ok when they were kids, but actually wearing to get some laughs!
