Many members of the minority groups in America awoke to something that they considered an improbable nightmare, just the day before the announcement of the presidential elections. President-elect Trump’s ascension to the White House with the support of white supremacist left the majority of the minorities with the daunting feeling of living in a country where they do not matter anymore. It is also the fear of some of the minorities that they are now potentially at risk because of the God they worship, the color of their skin, or even the language they speak. The minorities who thought that Trump’s campaign was a thought experiment are now under a direct threat from his presidency. Furthermore, anything else that Trump has said or assured as a presidential candidate does not render those fears he has instilled in them anything less than rational.
President-elect Trump refused to condemn the white supremacists who were campaigning for him, and now it is worrisome that he is already circling himself with the racist fan club known publicly. Trump is also likely to appoint the people who stood by him as his cabinet appointees and this has already sent fear among the minorities. Donald’s fan club of white supremacists includes Richard Spencer, the director of the National Policy Institute, which strives to promote white supremacist views. Secondly, is Daily Stormer, who is famous for neo-Nazism. Thirdly, Michael Hill, who heads a white supremacist breakaway group based in Alabama, called the League of the South. Finally, Brad Griffin, the author of the infamous white supremacist blog called Hunter Wallace. Donald Trump also avoided the opportunity to repudiate David Duke, a white supremacist who said to his radio audience that not voting for Trump is equivalent to betraying your own heritage, the white heritage. Therefore, the way President-Elect Trump ran his campaign and his fan club has instilled fear in millions of immigrants in the country.
