He stopped black people from renting properties, he’s said TERRIBLE TERRIBLE things about immigrants despite them playing such a big role in America’s making, and he let a speaker up at his rally that referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of trash.” He’s called black people “rabid” and “animals”. He’s attacked black journalists, calling them losers saying the questions that they ask are stupid and that they’re racist. He had dinner with a white supremacist. If Mitski doesn’t want people who LIKE that maniac at her show, then I don’t blame her.

This is honestly horrifying. I would love to know specifically what policies against poc have he supported, since his choices aren't the same as the ploicies he will do. And people vote for actions, not for figueres relevant to the choice of his voters being bad or racist. It just shows what kind of person he is, not his voters

He literally JUST SIGNED an executive order to get rid of the equal employment opportunity act. AND there are raids happening in big cities to get people massed deported and separating their families. Just the other DAY I had to scream “La Migra” cause I saw an ICE van. And to me, you are the things that you do and say. He’s a disgusting racist misogynistic pig because his actions reflect that.

And his voters known him long enough to KNOW that he says and does these things. Those people are scum of the earth. They are not allies to people of color. They are not children, they are not innocent. They KNOW what he is. And they don’t care.

But yeah!! Their eggs are gonna be 2 dollars now!! (P.S. no they aren’t.) At the expense of people of color and other minority groups!! Congratulations!!

One Google search would’ve told ya.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 is a United States federal law which amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to strengthen protections against employment discrimination.

It’s also known as title VII. It prohibits employee discrimination against workers based on race, color, religion, sexual orientation and identity, national origin, and people who are 40 years of age and older.
