A Presidency Built on Racial Divisions | By Peniel Joseph | Common Dreams
"As the first modern president to consider racial segregationists a part
of his base, Trump remains reluctant to forcefully speak out against
racial hatred, thereby sending another signal that ensures that this
latest explosion of racial violence will get much worse, before it gets
better."
The car that allegedly plowed through a crowd of protestors marching
through a downtown shopping district is seen after the vehicle was
stopped by police several blocks away August 12, 2017 in
Charlottesville, Virginia. The car allegedly plowed through a crowd, and
at least one person has died from the incident, following the shutdown
of the 'Unite the Right' rally by police after white nationalists and
neo-Nazis and counter-protesters clashed near Lee Park, where a statue
of Confederate General Robert E. Lee is slated to be removed. (Photo by
