The excellent news for America is that Donald Trump is not president, so racists who get off on bullying and assaulting minorities will not have a cheerleader and enabler within the highest workplace of the land.

It could be good to consider that this form of racism was born of Trump and can fade together with his departure, however the above video is racism in America. It existed centuries earlier than Donald Trump, however the distinction is that any individual like quickly to be former Sgt. Pentland might now face federal costs for committing a hate crime.

When Joe Biden talks about everybody coming collectively to finish racism, the video above is strictly what he’s referring to.
