    Mad disrespect to you as well, though I appreciate the response

    That said, I think it’s relevant since he supports the political party that heavily pushes white supremacist ideology and is heavily supported by white supremacists. No, I don’t think I’m being racist (based on either the academic or layman definition) by making light of the coincidence of his surname and his support for a party that advocates for white supremacy.

    Now you answer just one question for me: Do you think the average Black man living in the US in say 1845 (pre-Civil War) or 1930 (just after the KKK reached its peak membership of ~5 million) was racist due to their likely negative views of the average White American, the policies they supported and the prevalence of White domestic terrorists that were not investigated/charged/convicted?

    Answer honestly. Let’s chat about it; I’m super curious to read your answer
