The US is as fundamentally white supremacist today as it was way back then
Segregation; lynchings; slavery; these are all things that were systematically outlawed and struck down in our society today. To say that white supremacy is just as bad as it was in 1960 is an utterly blind take and completely ignores what we’ve accomplished today. It’s still a problem today, yes. But if what we’re complaining about is a spray-tanned muppet who is now being legally shredded apart, I think we’ve come a long way.
Stating purely that over half of white people voting for the clown is also ignoring the other half who did not- or the intentions of the half who did vote for him. I highly doubt that a majority of the half who did vote for him were crossing their fingers for the next racial uprising.
Segregation; lynchings; slavery; these are all things that were systematically outlawed and struck down in our society today.
Segregation in the US is alive and well. We watch cops lynching black people on tv all the damn time, and slavery is literally enshrined in the constitution.
It’s still a problem today, yes.
It’s not a problem - it’s a feature of a fundamentally white supremacist society.
a spray-tanned muppet
A spray-tanned muppet that was enthusiastically endorsed into the Waffle House by the majority of white USians while he was hurling around white supremacist dog-whistles.

Majority of voters… so like 15% of the population, max.
