      At that time we already knew about the central park five too, Trump took out giant newspaper ads to try and get five people killed because they weren’t white. This didn’t deter nearly enough people, and his share of poc votes only grew after his first term too. At some point I have to think this is who we are, or at the very least this is who half of us are.
