Eddie Glaude's speech goes viral online after saying it is too simplistic to place blame Trump for El Paso massacre.
A Princeton professor has given an emotional speech in which he declares that Donald Trump is not entirely to blame for racial disparity in the U.S as its"evils" have existed for years.
Speaking in the wake of the mass shooting which killed 22 people in El Paso, Texas, by a suspected white supremacist, Eddie Glaude said that the division in this country has existed for generations but is now only being amplified by the president's racist rhetoric.."I think where we may be singular is our refusal to acknowledge them.
"The legends and myths we tell about our inherent goodness, to hide and cover and conceal so that we can maintain a kind of willful ignorance that protects our innocence.", illustrates which states ban assault rifles and high capacity magazines.Glaude noted how people would attribute the rise of the of Tea Party to"economic populism" and nothing to do with race as proof that this division has been exploited by politics before.
He said others were being ignored when they pointed out that Tea Party members were in fact worried about"racially ambiguous babies on Cheerios commercials, that the country wasn't quite feeling like it was a white nation anymore." He added:"People were screaming from the top of their lungs 'this is not just simply economic populism. This is the ugly underbelly of the country."at the El Paso Walmart after an online manifesto suspected to have been written by the gunmen mirrored Trump's inflammatory language down the years.
