Yesterday, a Trump supporter dropped a lengthy, rambling, profanity-laden diatribe into my comments section, lecturing me for implying that MAGA is inherently a white supremacist movement.

In between vile personal attacks and egregious spelling errors, he accused me of “playing the Race Card", of making assumptions about people like him, and of stoking division in America (a fracture first caused, he claimed, by President Obama).

The man closed by assuring me that I was unfairly maligning tens of millions of white Americans, saying, “We’re f*ckin’ tired of being called racists!”

Well, to my pearl-clutching, righteously indignant friend and the rest of the exhausted, exasperated, misunderstood white folk across America:

I’m a white American.

I am both a person of faith and someone who considers themselves extremely patriotic, and do you know what I’m tired of?

I’m tired of white people like you supporting a political party incessantly working to keep people of color from voting, and feigning outrage at the suggestion that they may be racist...
