Reports of racist graffiti, hate crimes in Trump's America

I wrote at the beginning of the campaign that I feared a Trump victory would embolden the bullies, bigots, and racists and now it looks it is coming to pass.
That said the CNN headline is awful and imflamatory. It is not "Trumps America" but a few probably a few bad people just like the anti Trump rioters in Portland.

I thought it was only disgruntled democrats who were acting violent...at least according to some w.p posts, doesn't surprise me that there are stupid people on the right who want to make their fellow right wingers look bad.

Then again I wouldn't be surprised if there are already conspiracy theories about how any and all inappropriate/criminal actions by trump supporters must really be democrats pretending to be right wingers. :roll:

No one should be doing this racial crap. One thing I have to say is it all started with Obama and I don't care what anyone says - it's true. I didn't get called racist by my friends of 20+ years (that I cut off as friends) until he got in the presidency. I've been called racist and Hitler right on this site by the Left. Then out of Clinton's mouth saying that white people need to check themselves and be the one's to change and "white privilege". A bunch of BS! I've lived through 8 freaking years of being called a racist and a xenophobe (I don't even know what that word means), homophobe and whatever other "phobe" could come out of Clinton's mouth. You want to blame someone for all of these racial wars - blame Obama and his thugs cause that's how it's done in Chicago.

The Trump Presidency is now being called a "Whitelash". Give me a f'n break already with this crap. Looks like what comes around is going around. Everyone is going to have to suck it up and deal with it.

CNN changed the headline ending from "Trump's America" to "post-election"

Trump stirred up so much hate with his campaign, so this crap that is going on now.. isnt too surprising. Also lets look at who he is surrounded by- racist people and people that are against LGBT. Pence, his VP strongly supports conversion therapy garbage! So sickening that people can look past a VP pick like that just because they had hope Trump could change stuff. Fun fact- house and senate can block plenty of things Trump supports. So he can make all the silly plans about walls and immigration he wants.. it doesn't mean he will accomplish them!

I've heard some people say "if Hillary had won this wont be happening", which is just nonsense. Republicans are just as guilty of nonsense as democrats. If Hillary had won- people would be buying up all the guns because they are paranoid the second ammendment would be going away. In my view- people need to stop reading conspiracy theories online and actually read the news (not just talking mainstream media, but other outlets as well).

He spewed so many insults against so many people during nearly every interview he had! He spewed those hateful things on Twitter (where many many people saw it!) as well. He made people angry, worried, paranoid and scared... with mainly LIES! Do a fact check of just about any interview he did- his statements that are true will be low.

I also want to point out once again- people wanting an outsider to run for president is just fine.. IF they had voted for outsiders in house+senate races. But guess what? They didn't. The same old jerks got elected, so its going to be republicans with their nonsense for a while. You can't get change with just one choice, it realistically wont happen.

Last but not least- I hope they are investigating the election. It could've been rigged! After all- Trump cried "rigged" all the time. So its only fair that democrats see that it wasnt rigged! Especially since a news report recently said Russian officials WERE talking with Trump throughout his campaign!

racial crap all started with obama? even though racism and racial issues have existed before this country even existed.

I'm talking about a movement. Look back at the other elections - no candidate brought out race as much as Obama and Clinton kept right on with it which caused the racial divide problems we have right now. I need to "check my privilege" because I'm white, huh? Screw that! That's why Clinton lost. She's the diplorable.

Here's an example of Michelle Obama making a statement against white people:

We already know that CNN lies and is in Clinton's back pocket. I don't give a crap what CNN says anymore.
