We are so lucky to have a TV show like blackish on the air right now so we can actually talk about all the racist fallout from Trump’s election
On the other side of the election, the attitudes about our president elect are definitely split along racial and gender lines. In the most recent episode, Dre’s diverse gang of coworkers start a heated discussion about the surprising role white female voters played in getting Trump elected.

- He will not be in charge of the job at Trump’s inauguration this year.

How Journalists Covered the Rise of Mussolini and Hitler
So the Smithsonian posted this an hour ago. Just because.
The Smithsonian is pulling no punches.
Despite the fact that Trump has not (to date) flown around on a Halloween-themed hoverboard while wearing a goblin costume and hurling bombs at people, he does have a lot in common with Norman Osborn. Both of them are business tycoons who live in giant towers in New York City.
Both of them also have a thing for blondes who are much younger than them. Trump, despite looking like an embalming accident, is married to a former model 25 years his junior, while Osborn had an affair with Spider-Man’s girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. Both these turns of events are equally inexplicable.
So strong is this blonde obsession, in fact, that it even leads these powerful men to desire (or repeatedly joke about desiring) women they should stay the hell away from. Osborn once impregnated his son’s girlfriend, while Trump’s own family weirdness is somehow even more off-putting. We’re not going to detail every sexual comment he’s made about his daughters here, because 1) there are already enough articles about that, and 2) holy shit there are multiple articles about that.
And finally, one has pumpkin bombs, while the other simply resembles a pumpkin.
But wait. Wacky looks, lavish buildings, younger women, incestuous overtones – we’re describing every millionaire ever here, aren’t we? Sure, but that’s only the beginning.
