Trump's win brings 'white pride' out of the shadows.

As he watched the news of the presidential election in the last week, Kory Duquette became increasingly agitated. Pundits were blaming a “whitelash” for Donald Trump’s win and called it a massive exercise of angry white ballot power.

Civil rights groups said the president-elect’s victory has inspired dozens of attacks on blacks, Latinos and Muslims by people who shared Trump’s suspicions about immigrants. Commentators said that in his quest for a win, Trump pandered to America’s darkest racist impulses.


Duquette, a 37-year-old Trump supporter from Alabama, was ready to fight back.

“#Whiteshaming doesn’t work anymore! you label me? you wonder why Trump won?” Duquette, who is white, posted this week on Twitter. “Tired of being classified with untruths.”

Trump has eliminated “that uncomfortable feeling of being afraid to speak your mind as a white man,” said the 37-year-old prison guard. “There is nothing wrong with being white.”

Much has been said about the rise of white nationalists who have felt emboldened by Trump and his association with people and groups known to espouse anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic views.

I never thought it worth my time. I knew it was a right-wing rag, but I had no idea they were this hateful and off the rails. And Bannon is the guy Trump wants to be his right-hand man? This is all just like a bad dream that gets worse and worse every day.

many of these disgusting, vile racists are really just pathetic little cowards who would crap their pants if they ever had to go up against a minority man who was bigger and stronger than they were or god forbid, armed?
