A racism scandal in Madison struck a national chord this week— the New York Times reported on it, CNN reported on it, Cher even offered to help.
When Marlon Anderson, a black security guard, politely asked a student to stop calling him the n-word he was fired for inappropriate language.
I’ll give you a minute to let that sink in.
The incident spread rapidly. Yes, social media expedites the spread of stories but I couldn’t help but think this story must have been bigger than just one isolated event. There had to be some universal component. So what was it about this story? What made our hearts drop when we read it?
Well, for starters, every national story seems to somehow tie back to Donald Trump. Like it or not, this is Trump’s America. He governs it. His supporters are the political majority, or were very recently. And his presidency seems to have opened a pandora’s box of racist and prejudiced rhetoric rendering people in marginalized communities especially vulnerable.
The Trump presidency has also helped strength another binary in America — that between the rich and the poor. And wealth today isn’t simply monetary. It comes with a wealth of respect, a wealth of trust, a wealth of support, whether earned or not.

Trumps America my ass. This is the left wing PC BS cowering management to the point they have no common since.
Every Trump supporter I know of said that this guy getting fired was BS and that this story blaming Trump for it is nothing more than a BS lie and lefty propaganda.
So the left needs to take this story and put it where the sun does not shine and then spin on it so they have something to smile about for a change.
Nothing new here just more lies from the left.
What a BS, fake article.
You have to go to other sources to learn that the student using the “N” word was himself BLACK. And who hasn’t heard blacks using this word among themselves?
And this cretinous author still wants to blame it on Trump.
When you live the “Hate Trump” life, everything becomes colored (snark) by that hate!
In this idiot’s world, Donald Trump’s Presidency causes earthquakes, STDs, and haltosis.
This shows how the Media got to where it is.
A combination of idiocy and ideology that makes absurdity as it rejects facts, logic, and history.
Blah blah blah
From the bunch who would t know racism if it bit them on the nose.
Whites as evil oppressors is one of the great liberal lies.
