This is Trump’s America where black people are under attack. He is trying to turn the clock back to a time when lynching was commonplace. This man survived because others with cameras intervened:

Saturday just before 7:52 p.m. Vauhxx Booker, a prominent voice for civil rights in Bloomington, and member of the Monroe County Human Rights Commission, said he called 911 after being assaulted, and that the DNR came to the scene, but refused to arrest his attackers. Booker said he was pinned to a tree, and a group of men threatened to break his arms, and made the statement “get a noose,” while telling Booker’s companions to leave the area. Booker said the individuals, who had Confederate flags, and made statements about “white power” claimed he and his companions had trespassed on private property.

“I don’t want to recount this, but I was almost the victim of an attempted lynching. I don’t want this to have happened to me or anyone. It hurts my soul, and my pride, but there are multiple witnesses and it can’t be hidden or avoided,” said Booker.

Say it ain’t so:

Former Entertainment Tonight host Mary Hart is receiving backlash after some believed she flashed a ‘white power’ sign at President Trump’s Fourth of July event at Mount Rushmore.

Hart, 69, a former Miss South Dakota winner, made an appearance in her home state on Friday to host the Mount Rushmore Fireworks Celebration as Trump and First Lady Melania Trump arrived on Air Force One.

But Hart’s speculated use of a white power hand gesture left some audience members shocked and social media users outraged.

For context I included the whole Hart presentation (which is about 11 minutes). The hand gesture can be seen at the 42 second mark. Judge for yourself if she does make the white supremacy hand sign:

What’s more frightening is when it’s done by cops:

Tell me again how defund the police is wrong when no one even bats an eye at a policeman in Oregon flashing a white power sign at a Proud Boy that he’s obviously chummy with.

You think that the police being violent against black people is just a coincidence?

They’re literally white supremacists.https://t.co/6ZmBcl421m

What about the ones who were at these protests the last four days pretending to be protesting but actually just creating chaos. What about the cops flashing racist org hand signs? The ones covering their names and badge numbers? pic.twitter.com/60nrhUzikV

Hate in the era of Trump:

An Atlanta man claiming to be Jesus attacked a Muslim delivery driver and strangled her with her own head scarf as she delivered food to him — and later learned that he’d been booked for violence in the past. Atlanta’s WSB-TV reported that Sonya King, a Muslim woman who wears the fully-covered niqab, fought back after 54-year-old Rick Painter grabbed her from behind. As she used her fingers to poke him in the eyes and…

Thanks to Trump racists feel free to engage in verbal and physical attacks. It’s now become commonplace:

A white man in Georgia was arrested after he was caught on camera going off on a profane, racist tirade against a black teacher in a shopping center parking lot.

In the video, which was posted on Facebook by teacher Terrence Stover last week, a man whom police later identified as 49-year-old Eric DeKeyser was seen hurling angry invective at Stover.

…In his Facebook post about the incident, Stover said that he believed DeKeyser was carrying a handgun in his pocket — and that he was trying to bait Stover into physically attacking him so he could then shoot him and get away with it thanks to Georgia’s “stand your ground laws.”

And then there was the vital racial assault witnessed by millions. These savages weren’t the least deterred by cameras:

The two servicewomen who were the victims of a racist and sexist attack last week have been identified.

Capt. Treasure Sharpe, 27, and Capt. Stephanie Mitchell, 34, were parking at a Cheddar’s in Macon, Georgia on April 14 when a man identified as Robbie Tucker yelled at them to ‘learn how to park!’

Inside the restaurant, Robbie came up to them again and called them ‘gay black b******’.

His mother added: ‘You were getting in our way while we tried to park.’

On December 7, 2017, a 21-year-old white male posing as a student entered Aztec High School in rural New Mexico and began firing a handgun, killing two students before taking his own life.At the time, the news of the shooting went largely ignored, but the online activity of the alleged killer, William Edward Atchison, bore all the hallmarks of the “alt-right” — the now infamous subculture and political movement consisting of vicious trolls, racist activists, and bitter misogynists.
