Hasan Piker

like untouchable position where, where he is depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as, as apes is completely unacceptable.

But I think it's, it should maybe hopefully serve as a wake up call for a lot of Americans who are still questioning whether or not he's racist.

But I think at this point we all know, like, I mean, he is, I mean, he's been calling, he, he ran and campaigned on saying that Haitians were eating cats and dogs, which I thought would have been a turning point or a wake up call for many Americans to go, wait a minute, you're,

You're talking about a bunch of black immigrants that have temporary protected status that you gave them actually living in Springfield, Ohio, boosting the economy of Springfield, Ohio.

And you're just saying that they're eating.

You're using incredibly racialized narratives about black people.

In that regard, you've said Somalis are a parasitic force that must be forcibly excised from the country, even though 95 percent of Somalis are are American citizens.

So there is no anti-immigrant advocacy there.

There is no ICE action that is justified at all in that circumstance.

These are all very clear demonstrations of anti-blackness that is, I think, foundational to the Republican Party's politics.

And this is completely indefensible even by other racists.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, it's just this is a big part of the Republican strategy is to deny the very real racial wrongs that have been committed in this country on the basis of blackness, like directly on the basis of blackness.

And the solution, of course, is also going to be on the basis of blackness as well.

And yet.

Any kind of recognition of this historic wrong is considered to be the real racism or what they love to say is reverse racism.

No, I don't think they would.

Let's be real.

I think like in the absence of any sort of real material change that Donald Trump said he was going to bring.
