As white people have made their way back, we have been accused of “barbecuing while black,” “moving in while black,” “trying to enter our own apartments while black,” “playing go-go music while black.” We have been accused of being in spaces where we are obviously not wanted. In the end, Americans will have to decide whether or not this country will remain racist. To make that decision, we will have to avoid the trap of placing the burden of our national sins on the shoulders of Donald Trump. We need to look inward. Trump is us. Or better, Trump is you.
