53% of white women’s president Donald Trump is racist as hell. We all know this. That doesn’t make it any less f**ked up when he PURPOSELY chooses to use racist rhetoric to stoke hate.

Everybody everywhere is calling the coronavirus “coronavirus”. Cable news, newspapers, magazines, tweets, Facebookers, everybody, we’re all calling the earth-shuddering pandemic “coronavirus”.

Let’s be clear, there are many diseases that are wrongly named after geographical locations and many of them are African.

It’s all offensive and is only used as racist-a$$ dog-whistle.

GTFOHWTBS.
