NNPA NEWSWIRE — Last year, journalist Adam Serwer published a book called “The Cruelty is the Point: The Past, Present, and Future of Trump’s America.” Serwer has made the point that Trump is a symptom, not the cause, of a cruel streak in American politics. There is a long history of backlash against progress, going back to the post-Reconstruction period in which white supremacists used violence to reverse the enfranchisement of Black people.
The post COMMENTARY: The cruelty of exploiting vulnerable people for political advantage first appeared on BlackPressUSA.
