Almost every day I see an article along these lines. Have the people
writing them ever studied American history? Or better yet, read Howard
Zinn? In the 19th century and much of the 20th century, Chinese-American
workers were prevented by law from becoming American citizens while the
KKK was involved in a reign of terror throughout the South.
Meanwhile,that bastion of liberal thought, the Nation Magazine,
editorialized against passing legislation reining in the KKK. Workers
were brutalized for simply trying to organize as this IWW website
indicates in great detail: http://depts.washington.edu/iww/persecution.shtml
As for the newspapers, the only source of information prior to radio,
yellow journalism made Fox News look scrupulous by comparison.
Donald Trump is a throwback to the 19th century and nothing more.
