Opinion: Trump's Tulsa rally on Juneteenth sends a clear and offensive message (via latimesopinion)
To continue to honor those who sought to destroy the union in defense of slavery sends an abominable signal to African Americans.
So, in going to Tulsa on Juneteenth, is Trump a) tone deaf, b) trolling, c) blind to history, or d) once again displaying his knack for doing the wrong thing? I’m going with d, with c as a given, but I can be persuaded that a and b are at play, too. With this guy, anything is possible — and not in a good way.
Ever since Trump, the TV celebrity and brash real estate mogul from New York , decided to try politics and managed to get himself elected president, he has left a trail of confusion, inconsistencies, insults and inhumane acts.The vilest of that record is his disdain for people of color, which preceded his rise to the presidency.
