re: #30 Charles

This particular sign isn’t explicitly racist — that wasn’t my point.

But it’s an interesting question whether a white Democratic President would have the same intensity of hatred directed at him. Bill Clinton got a lot of hatred, but it was nowhere near this prevalent and mainstream.

It was pretty much like that when Bush the Younger was president. But the press didn’t run around saying “Oh dear, how horrible this criticism is!”
