During the 2016 campaign the crowds at Trump’s rallies were significantly all white. During one of these hateful events Trump was recorded as shouting; “where’s my African American?” Today we know this man’s name, and he is not a supporter of the leader of the white supremacist movement in America.

Gregory Cheadle is a real estate broker who once sought a seat in the House of Representatives. At age 62 he plans to renew his efforts to obtain a seat in the House as an Independent.

Mr. Cheadle’s defection from Trump’s cult began when the orange man attacked four members of the House whose ethnicity was diverse, combined with his openly racist attacks against Representative Elijah Cummings. Although Cheadle refused to describe the president as racist, he said Trump has a “white superiority complex”.

Cheadle told PBS NewsHour on Thursday: “When you look at his appointments for the bench: white, white, white, white, white, white, white. That to me is really damning to everybody else, because no one else gets a chance because he’s thinking that the whites are superior. Period.”

He added: “President Trump is a rich guy who is mired in white privilege to the extreme. Republicans are too sheepish to call him out on anything and they are afraid of losing their positions and losing any power themselves.”

He accused the Republican party of following a “pro-white” agenda and using black people as “political pawns”.

I could not have said it better. For more than 30 years this Republican Party in name only has revealed its racist beliefs. Their members have waged a war against blacks, Hispanics, women, the working class, and non-Christians while supporting special interests.

The only question I have; a question which reveals whether or not you believe in the America of our founding fathers, is “are we created equal with individual and inalienable rights?” If you believe that Republicans are not racist and bigoted you are out of touch with the real America. Simply put, you watch too much television; primarily Fox Noise.

Trump is not the ‘Grand Wizard’ of the Ku Klux Klan. But he is the leader of all white supremacist hate groups in America and if you continue to support him, you are a racist and a bigot.

Tell everyone; “the truth lives here.”
