Black US politician says white man told her to 'go back where you came from' as she shopped...

...with young daughter

A pregnant African American politician in Georgia said she was verbally attacked in a supermarket on Friday by a middle-aged white man who swore, called her vulgar names and told her to “go back where you came from” as her nine-year-old daughter looked on.

Erica Thomas, a Democrat from Austell, said the man was irate that she was in an express queue with too many items.
----------
“And this white man comes up to me and says, ‘You lazy son of a bitch’,” Ms Thomas said, sobbing as she described the confrontation in a Facebook video. “He says, ‘You lazy son of a bitch, you need to go back where you came from’.”

Of course this was going to happen. Trump has given racists explicit permission to behave in this way. It is all going to ramp up the closer we get to 2020.

Look at him... he is loving it. Fucking nasty bastard, egging on the worst of society.

a daily "Resolution" for the variety of his un-becoming vocalizations and actions. Every day it's something!

on a daily basis learned very quickly the body language and subtle words that identifies it as such. Now we see that in many instances it has becoming a dying requirement as the nation’s bigot in chief is gleefully encouraging private and public practice as part of the plan to institute white nationalism - a nation of white people only. This coming election in reality will not be about policies. It will be about white nationalism, and all the institutional and social racism that implies. That should be recognized by the Dems and aggressively fought as such. Otherwise l fear the latent racism being brought to the surface by tRump and the entire GOP will prevail, and we cannot allow that to happen.
