barbarity is United States’ nature, not an exception
the only difference is –
now its more pronounced
it oozes from every official and institution
Trump always wants to be number 1
that is, in cruelty and arrogance
but the trash he has gathered around him
in the form of family, friends, secretaries, advisors, lawyers, …
are not any less than number 1
whenever any one of them gets a chance to act or open their mouth
you should expect nothing but atrociousness

black slave families were separated at auctions
husbands from wives
children from parents

Native American families had their own traumatic experiences
the children were snatched from their parents
the motive was as transparent as Trump’s tweets:
Kill the Indian, Save the Man”
that is, suck out the Indian culture, religion, language, custom, …
then give them a transfusion of everything White
of course, sans the color
because then whites won’t be able to discriminate racially

now Trump government is separating children from parents
entering the United States without visa
the whites who came to this land didn’t take native people’s permission
instead they stole the entire land
and savagely killed the real owners of this land

2300 children have been sent away from their parents
