White supremacists hiding the achievements of non-white people is a pretty good indication that they know white people aren’t supreme.

By the hour, Donald Trump makes it clearer he is the most dangerous political leader in our history, the greatest threat America faces.
Sending the National Guard into LA, sending masked thugs into US cities, sending tanks to parade through DC next weekend--they are all ominous signs about the kind of country our wannabe dictator is working towards. There's much worse to come. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse.
Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.
