Unbelievable.
A cone shaped KKK hood.
A "Make America Great Again" baseball cap, supporting Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
And now, anyone wearing the baseball cap - is somehow a major racist. Somehow folks who want to start trouble, start violence.
Bullshit

Professor: MAGA Hats Will Someday Be Viewed the Same Way as KKK Hoods
An associate professor at the University of New Brunswick claims that the “Make America Great Again” hat will one day be viewed the same way the Ku Klux Klan hood is viewed today, and that Trump supporters elected the president because they are upset that “black people have too many rights” and that there are “too many women in the workplace.”
In an interview with Salon, associate professor Matthew Sears (https://www.salon.com/2019/02/17/scholar-matt-sears-someday-maga-hats-will-be-shameful-secrets-like-klan-robes/) claimed that “Make America Great Again” hats will one day be looked down upon, similarly to the way society today looks down upon the Ku Klux Klan hood.
After being asked if he believes the MAGA hat will one day be seen as the “equivalent of someone in this moment discovering their relatives’ Nazi paraphernalia,” Sears responded, stating that believes the outcome will be “similar.”
“I think it’s similar,” said the professor, according to Salon, “But I think a better analogy would be like finding a Ku Klux Klan hood or robe. I’ve made the comparison before.”
“Every time I watch a documentary about the civil rights movement and all the hateful violence they faced,” continued Sears, “I wonder what the white people who were doing those horrible things were thinking.”
“In a few generations from now, finding a MAGA hat in your grandparents’ closet would be like seeing your grandfather’s or grandmother’s face in one of those lunch counter photos, harassing the black people who are trying to fight Jim Crow and win their equal human rights,” added the professor.
The professor went on to argue that “people who support Donald Trump need to be held morally accountable,” and that those who “wear Trump’s clothing” know about “all the harm he is doing.”
Sears did not elaborate on which of the president’s implemented policies, specifically, have proven harmful to others, but the professor did make note of a “Muslim ban,” despite a Muslim ban never having existed.
Additionally, Sears implied that a harmful policy — or slogan — is President’s Trump’s call for “building the wall,” a call synonymous with the president’s request to secure the southern border, as well as for stopping illegal immigration, drug cartels, and human trafficking.
“America for Trump and his supporters is no longer great because black people have too many rights or there are too many women in the workplace,” continued the professor.
“Was America great when there was racial segregation?” asked Sears, bizarrely suggesting that the president desires to return, specifically, to the Jim Crow era in which the decisions made by Democrat state and local legislatures dominated the South.
