Joyce writes: "It's not just that the Haitian story is ridiculous. It's not just that it’s a lie. It is both of those things, but it is more than that; it is also dangerous." I add that it's distinctly and overtly racist and that racism runs like blood through the body of the Trump/Vance campaign and through their ambitions for our country. I'm amazed. I'm also amazed that Vance's wife put up with it.

Racism "runs like blood" through the U.S. body politic and has since the country was founded. Remember how in the wake of 9/11 "patriots" attacked and sometimes killed anyone they thought "looked Muslim"? This included Sikhs and others. Last year in Vermont three young Palestinian-American men were shot apparently because two of them were wearing keffiyehs; one of them is permanently paralyzed from the chest down. Several mass shooters have been motivated by racism or antisemitism.
