The “Black Lives don’t Matter” President: Holding Trump accountable for a Lifetime of Racism
By Clarence Lusane ( Tomdispatch.com ) – Donald Trump was the worst president for Black people in the modern era, if not the nation’s history. Given a life of unremitting racial animus, under no circumstances should he receive a single vote from the Black community or other communities of color. After all, he’s never moderated […]
