It’s one of the most pervasive and blatant lies of the Left (including the media and the Democrats): that US President Donald Trump refuses to denounce racism – in particular, white supremacists such as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) – or at least refuses to explicitly, unambiguously denounce them. The reality is that President Trump has been denouncing racism – including white supremacy & the KKK – for decades, more frequently since he first ran for President (and was elected) in 2016. All recorded on camera. Continuing to claim that Trump has never denounced racism or that there are no videos of him denouncing racism is to either be very ignorant, or a liar. One or the other (or a bit of both) – nothing else. This is NOT a matter of opinion. You can debate till the cows come home whether or not Trump “really” means it, but to claim he doesn’t denounce racism is to be either an ignoramus or a liar. https://youtu.be/RGrHF-su9v8

And as usual, I offer the following disclaimer, just to be safe: WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD. PROCEED AT OWN RISK. Black Panther With T’Challa’s first solo movie, Marvel tackled social issues even more touchy than privacy and surveillance. And they delivered a great movie in the process. ...
