Any people of color or other marginalized groups or minority populations reading this really, really need to share this on your community's social media and get it visible within your cultural space instead of just sighing at Lemmy posts that won't make it out of our bubble here.
Trump secured a large vote from black and latino people because everyone's attention spans are so fried that people basically filter everything they see to distill it to just what they want to see. (Even before the algorithm distills this further.)
So what we had were a lot of people who didn't get the memo that Trump and Republicans broadly suckle at the heart of racism and hate to power their machine. They just heard messages about "returning to traditional values" and pictured their parent's lives when they were growing up and got exploited by the ol' "nostalgia" hack. A lot of people of color come from communities that have held onto tradition for a long time as a survival tool, and there are a lot of conservative values that line up with that kind of tradition, so people, desperate for meaning and leadership, thought that a vote for Trump would restore that nostalgic feeling of "when men were men and women were women" and all the dumb shit we say to justify our hard lives.
Nostalgia is a tool of fascism. Stop being nostalgic, start beating that shit with a hammer when people bring it up.
Your life wasn't better when you were little. Your parents were miserable. Life was hard, you were just little and stupid and thought everything was amazing.

Fee-fee days? Hubba hubba!

For next year, the days chosen seem to fall in line with the Trump administration's "America-first" policies.
A journalist self-censored 'racist' to the regime-approved synonym "America-first".
There's no way to connect this to other policies except 'shitting on black people in the most petty way possible'.

Hey, at least they put it in quotes, the way this adimiatration works they'd probably deport the reporter for saying he was racist.
-
God damn that's blatant. Hey journalist, what about MLK Day is not "America-first"?

“Americans allow Trump admin to remove MLK day, Juneteenth from National Parks fee-free days”

He's just so petty.

Just to clarify… if you voted for Trump, you support racist agendas, which in turn, make you racist…. That’s my Ted talk for today.
-
Trump is a byproduct of US politics and capitalism, supporting either supports this racist agenda
