        Imagining the poor man having to reconcile with his position of being black and republican. The latter hates the existence of the former; his unfortunate encounter only gives it shape

        They were likely Republican also and I think that is very relevant to the headline

        Historical evidence would steer one to believe its more than likely a Democrat as they supported slavery.

        Anyone who says that bigotry and racism haven’t gotten worse since Trump became President is truly living in the Twilight Zone. Because of Trump’s actions and rhetoric, people no longer hide their bigotry. Make America great again? Trump has sent us back to the days of Slavery.

        As long as we keep arresting these people, we’re ok. When the arrests stop, its time to head elsewhere.

        His buddies should get arrested also. They were part of it. Chances are he could have felt emboldened by his little group

        White republicans are very scared...they are attacking everyone they perceive as the enemy...even members of their own party that aren’t white...the party is at an all time low. Thanks Trump!
