Trump’s bigotry is creatng a new generaton of racist

Former KKK leader David Duke endorsed Trump and said anyone who doesn’t vote for him is betraying their white heritage.
White supremacists and racists love the guy and say he has caused a resurgence in their ranks.

Now, in Iowa, we see that Trump’s bigotry is spreading to high school basketball games. It’s ugly and infuriating.
Dallas Center-Grimes High School in Des Moines is predominantly white. After their basketball team, which appeared also to be predominantly white, lost to Perry High School, fans began chanting “Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump” at the opposing players — many of who were Latino.
 The coach confirmed that almost all of his Latino players were actually born right there in Iowa.
 Of course, the students were disturbed by it. Staff from Perry High School said the chants, which have actually happened before, were demoralizing.
Players from Perry said they regularly are forced to endure bigotry from opposing teams before, during and after the games.
What’s wild is that to the white students from Dallas Center-Grimes High School even chanting the name, the single word “Trump,” was an intimidating insult. They knew exactly how simply the word “Trump” would make other kids feel.

This is not 1936 or 1966, but here we are, in February 2016, with a leading Republican candidate so closely identified with bigotry that kids know saying his name will unsettle students of color.
This is what happened to Jackie Robinson as he broke the color line. Now, the color lines are fully broken, but the same old ugliness is filling sports arenas and white children feel fully empowered to be public bigots.
Hell, if Trump can do it, why can’t they?
As it turns out, what happened in Iowa is not an isolated incident of white students using Trump to intimidate others.
In Indiana, whte hgh shool students held a cutout f Trump and yelled "Build the wall" at opposing students and fans.
What this confirms for all of us is that racism and bigotry aren’t dying with previous generations. They are being gleefully passed from one generation to the next and Donald Trump is absolutely energizing this process.What a shame.
