@JohnPrideaux: Very excited to share the first episode of a podcast series I've been working on. It's about why the generation of Americans born in the 1940s have had such a stranglehold on the White House, and why they won't let go. https://t.co/XPridJx2YF

I will just leave this here from 2017. @JohnPrideaux was the Politcs Editor of @theeconomistnews.bsky.social at the time. Sooooo much of White run for profit media was just WILLFULLY blind!
Dear Editor, John Prideaux, the U.S. editor for your magazine, has caused me to loose confidence in the analysis of your magazine's United States political analysis. On August 18, 2017 John Prideaux was on Economist Radio during which he said the following: "For what it's worth. I don't think, as some people do, that Donald Trump is some sort of secret White Supremacists." Donald Trump: A) Spent 8 years claiming Obama's Hawaii birth certificate was fake and that Obama was actually a "secret Muslim" B) Never apologized for calling for the death penalty for the Central Park Five even AFTER they were exonerated by DNA evidence. Trump never even admitted to being wrong about them or about calling them animals or about taking out newspaper advertisements calling for their death. C)Was, along with his father, sued in one of the the largest federal housing discrimination cases for discriminating against African Americans in the rental of his properties. D) Painted the majority of immigrants from Mexico as rapists and drug dealers In fact, Rolling Stone did an entire article on Donald Trump's long history of racism. And on CBC Radio's Sunday Edition on August 20, 2017 Leonard Zeskin, author of Blood And Politics, the history of the White Nationalists movement says the following: "Trump is a problem. He's an anti-immigrant racists" (at 12:28)" If John Prideaux is factually correct. Donald Trump is not a secret White Supremacists. There's nothing secret about it. It is overt. And if the no-brainer analysis of Donald Trump's racism is not obvious to Prideaux, I question his capacity as U.S. editor to make any valuable analysis about American politics. Dear Adreana, Thanks for sending me your email. So, Trump and white supremacy... I think Trump encourages white supremacists (see Charlottesville). They listen to what he says and conclude that he's on their side. I think that he uses racial slurs (Mexicans are rapists) and that his administration is pursuing policies that will harm minorities (see Jeff Sessions at the DoJ). But I think there's a distinction between these things, all of which are very bad, and being a white supremacist. A white supremacist, I think, is someone who holds two revolting, contradictory views. Idea one is that white people are genetically superior to others. Idea two is that white people must be protected and kept separate from others. I think you can trace these ideas from slavery, through the Klan and on into the Jim Crow era. Someone like Dylann Roof, in my opinion, is a textbook white supremacist. For all his faults, I haven't seen evidence that Trump holds these views. And if you call Trump a white supremacist, what words do you use for someone like Roof? What do you think?
