On Tuesday, November 8th, the American Electoral College system was called in favor of making Donald Trump President Elect.
Since that announcement, marginalized Americans have faced even more extreme levels of hate and discrimination. Many of these hate crimes and expressions of discrimination have been voiced and directly tied to Trump supporters, by their own admission. This video chronicles only some of those horrific experiences.
Video Song is "Zen And The Art of Xenophobia" by Five Iron Frenzy. Lyrics Below.
Cling to your god and guns,
the banjo’s playing Hot Cross Buns,
Bucket seats set to recline
no need to cross the county line.
Are the Arabs closing ranks,
about to roll some Russian tanks?
Shut the doors and save the kids,
lock and load- just like Jesus did.
The United States of Amnesia
make us numb, make it dumb, anesthesia.
Cut the cord, close the door, we don’t know ya,
it’s the zen and the art of xenophobia.
Let’s keep them separate,
melanin just can’t succeed.
“Give me liberty… or something.”
It’s better if you just don’t read.
Crank your phasers up to “slaughter”
Turn your wine back into water.
When you play this song-Al Qaida wins,
and Jesus was American.
