Donald Trump’s Rise Has Coincided With an Explosion of Hate Groups

It's scientifically measurable.

The conclusion that this is a prevalent, powerful thing that commonly results in real racist behavior, that is a conspiracy theory.

We can combat it by becoming aware of it, calling out the behaviour of others and making the necessary corrections in our own behaviour.

I agree that you should call out racism when seen, but I don't agree that you should promote the idea that people are guilty of racism even if they don't act racist.

race baiting, fear mongering = facts I don't like.

= what the media does, because they're increasingly sensationalist. If you don't see that, I don't know what to tell you.

When has Donald Trump even brought up Jewish people? Other than saying "nobody is more pro Israel than me."
