Couple more observations about racism.  I am wondering if Asians with torches are walking around saying black and white people are inferior and there are counter protesters, will Trump say both sides were at fault?

ESPN changed announcer Robert Lee's assignment from the Virginia football game to another game because they worried that the name would cause trouble in Virginia.  This is as dumb as complaining about the USC horse mascot named Traveler mentioned in the last blog. 

Racism is not limited to any race.  Chinese rapper Fat Shady raps about f--king stupid foreigners.  Why do rappers everywhere use obnoxious lyrics like this?  Can you imagine a foreigner walking down the street in China and hear this from bunch of young punks?  It shows racism is everywhere.  Ironically, China has not censor this!

Trump is not the first person who says that getting rid of confederate monuments is changing history.  That is a frequent argument used by those who defend the monuments.  It is a nonsensical argument.  History is written in books and stored in the minds of people. Those monuments, by honoring confederate leaders, is in fact giving a false narrative of history.  These are not American heroes but are traitors of America.  Besides, a lot of these monuments were put up in the 20th century to intimidate those who want civil rights in the south.  So do not say they have any historical value unless you put up plaques on them that say they are traitors.

I do not , however, condone those who vandalize or destroy monuments on their own.  Public monuments should be taken down after a government entity have decided that they should come down or transfer to museums or private areas.  We are a nation of laws, not a nation of mob rules.

Another absurdity I read about is that some people are calling for the removal of University of Southern California horse mascot name Traveler because Robert E. Lee's horse was named Traveller.  The two names are not even spelled the same.  There is no solid evidence that the first Traveler was named after Lee's horse.  I am sure USC had no intention of honoring Lee's horse.  Besides,  I am quite sure that no horse has ever supported slavery nor fought against America on its own!

Been away for awhile and just returned.  Frankly I had to take a break from all the mess that is Trump.  But with what happened yesterday in Virginia and Trump's response to it, I have to comment.  Even Republicans are complaining that Trump's speech on the violence was poor.  Here is a guy who screams about everything but has very little to say about this racist and violent event.  While his staff and daughter are condemning neonazis KKK etc. today, Trump is absolutely quiet.  Frankly I am not surprised.

Trump complains about everybody who is not helpful to him.  So people who are his allies but has not helped him much are blasted.  McConnell and Sessions are just the most recent.  But he has nothing but good things to say about Putin.  Even when Putin ejected American embassy staffs from Russia, Trump thanked him!  He let Russian press into the WH while barring American press.  Why?  The same now with the white racists groups.   He even put an alt-right leader, Bannon, in the WH.  So why would I be surprised that he doesn't want to name these groups as responsible for violence and bigotry?  It is obvious to me that Trump owes the Russians and the white racists groups.  That is why he is bombastic against everyone else but is scared of Putin and white racists groups.  I hope Mueller gets to the bottom of this before the next election!
