The Nationalist's Delusion
First topic message reminder :
Take the time and read this. It's one of the best pieces I've read yet to explain the rise of 45.
"One hundred thirty-nine years since Reconstruction, and half a century since the tail end of the civil-rights movement, a majority of white voters backed a candidate who explicitly pledged to use the power of the state against people of color and religious minorities, and stood by him as that pledge has been among the few to survive the first year of his presidency. Their support was enough to win the White House, and has solidified a return to a politics of white identity that has been one of the most destructive forces in American history. "

You are the one declaring America is a racist nation, your words not mine, that is open and shut.
You provided no caveats, your whole view is that America is irredeemably racist case closed.
Take a look at America today. Fascist, white-supremacist in the White House. A bunch of paedo-Republicans in the Senate. And knee-jerkers in the House.
The proof is in the pudding.
Not that surprising
