Torres: Trump Has Nothing in Common with the Lived Experiences of Black and Brown People in the South Bronx

‘If he were black, he would never have been chosen to be a nominee for one of the major parties in America’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TORRES: "There was no point but the cloud was closer to 3000 and 30,000 and the demographics were more representative of Staten Island than the south Bronx, but it was all political theater and the conflation of communities of color with criminality is a racist group. Donald Trump has nothing in common with the lived experience of black and brown people in the south Bronx. He’s a criminal suspect facing 91 felony counts. If he were black he would never have been chosen to be a nominee for one of the major parties in America. Donald Trump is a snake oil sales man with a knack for deceptive marketing. He’s deceptively marketing himself as a friend of communities of color. Nevermind his history of discriminating against black tenants. Nevermind his history of aiding and abetting the prosecution of black men, Central Park five. Nevermind accusing immigrants of poisoning the blood of our country. With friends like these, who needs enemies?"
