If the Trump era has taught us anything, it's that large numbers of white people in the United States are motivated at least in part by racism in the voting booth. Donald Trump ran an openly racist campaign for president, calling Mexicans rapists and criminals, regularly retweeting white supremacists and at least initially balking at repudiating former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
Trump made it clear in his campaign that "Make America Great Again" meant that America was greater when white people's power was more sweeping and more secure. White voters approved of that message by a whopping 58 To 37 percent.
Some politicians deny the evidence, no doubt because they don't want to alienate white voters, including prejudiced ones. Other commentators try to parse whether Trump's racism will be a winning strategy in 2020. Terry Smith, visiting professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, offers a different response in his new book, "Whitelash: Unmasking White Grievance at the Ballot Box."
Rather than excuse racist voters or try to figure out how to live with their choices, he argues that racist voting is not just immoral, but illegal. The government, Smith says, has the ability, and the responsibility, to address it.

They just keep right on pushing their white racism and hatred. STILL bringing up the old DD lies.
They get away with it, because they police themselves.
Maybe white people could sue NBC like the Catholic kid sued CNN.
Gosh, there is no place for comments on the article. I wonder why?
Yes,I'm deplorable. I bitterly cling to my religion and I just as bitterly cling to my Constitutional right to own a firearm (I don't own any at the moment).Yes,you can smell me in WalMart.I'll be the one that smells like Right Guard deodorant and Head And Shoulders shampoo.
And yes,NBC,I'm white. But I'll bet everything I own that I live in a more ethnically,racially and religiously "diverse" neighborhood that an elitist like you does.
2020 will be the year the left goes after US. The ‘cult” (us) will be the target. It won’t work.
Expect to see more of this racist crap. The President is polling at 30% with black voters. These types of racist screeds are designed to keep the black vote on the Dem plantation. I have no doubt that we will see more of this as we get closer to the election.
I AGREE 1000%...
yesterday, NBC demanded Trump supporters
be executed to the 4th generation.
they are begging for their comeuppance.
All our domestic enemies feel compelled to support the latest battle against America and Trump.
What... The... Actual F**K... Has happened to journalism?
That is so far from anything I would have ever considered ‘journalism’... In a saner time and place, having something like that on your résumé would utterly *destroy* a writer’s chance of writing anything OTHER than fiction for the rest of their life.
It’s time that the Hispanic, Black and Asian Trump
voters rise up in droves and protest this at NBC!!!
This is a HUGE LIE...
There is probably a lot more of this utter crap if one were to google
this author. Typical white liberal who lives off of pointing out the “white racists.”
Of course he’s a “good” white guy, not even a “little” racist.
A total POS.
Place your rolling eye and dead horse beating memes here....
“calling Mexicans rapists and criminals”
That’s as far as I got, why read the rest when he’s writing fiction?
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
SORRY
Liberals are the littlest snowflakes and the most foul mouthed, dumb, traitorous, booger-eating, seditious, nature hating, aggressive, immature, insane, intolerant, bigoted, stingiest, anti-Christmas, polluting, off-key flat singing, angry, unfriendly, greedy, fascist, hate-filled, mean-spirited, envious, resentful, vicious, close-minded, violent, murdering, child-abusing, amoral, stupid, censoring, horse-punching, book-burning, ignorant, uneducated, unskilled, childish, prejudiced, racist, women-hating, man-hating, perverted, thieving, destructive, American-hating, Christian-hating, muslim-loving, Jew-hating, Israel-hating, communist, vote-rigging, vulgar, dirty, smelly, election-rejecting, regressive, restrictive, prohibitive, bed-wetting, poo-flinging, cop-killing, war-mongering, law-breaking, conservative black hating, and scared little lying thumb-sucking pussified idiots God has ever created.
My clearly left wing though he tries to claim he’s “moderate” brother in law didn’t want to believe me a few years ago when I told him CNN was very Leftist and biased in their reporting. LOL!
Calling people “racist” is hate speech.
They are laying a rhetorical foundation to justify lawfare or violence.
