Someone wrote in the New York Times recently that if Donald Trump was allowed to go through with his plans, he'd become one of history's major human rights violators and ethnic cleansers, just below the Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin league.

What's fresh about racism? it comes out of the darkest dankest rottenest human cellar!
