OUR AMERICA: Trump Did Not Create This, He Just Rode It

/

Trump did not create this wave, he just rode it.

You want to blame someone, blame yourselves...
Take responsibility for the never-ending placation, the constant excuses... the justification that you do everyday for all the little oppressive movements, by inches, that communicate to the barbarians that they will get no real opposition to their savagery.

Keep investing in obviously racist programming...
Keep telling each other that they didn't see what they saw.
Keep abusing those with the courage to stand up for themselves.

Yeah, keep on...
and get run over.

~ Grey

A woman named Ivet posted a cell-phone video detailing the incident on her Facebook page. The video has since gone viral.
