Eddie Glaude Jr.: What Trump Is ‘Appealing’ to Is Slavery — ‘the Superiority of White People to Own Black People’

‘Donald Trump is appealing to those grievances, those hatreds, those old ghosts’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

GLAUDE: "So first of all, what Trump is appealing to is what you know, Frederick Douglass talked about in July 5 of 1852. He said, There's a horrible reptile in the bosom of the nation. And that reptile for him was slavery. It was a certain set of assumptions, not just simply about black people, but about the superiority of white people to own black people.”
