TRUMP NOT SORRY FOR WANTING INNOCENT BLACK TEENS DEAD

Donald Trump is seeking a second stint as US President. The businessman-cum-politician is known for his controversial statements, and Africans in particular have been on the receiving end of some of Trump's most derogatory vitriol - for example, his branding Haiti and African nations 'sh*thole countries.' He's pledged to curb immigrants from countries he deems beneath America's dignity, never mind that the US is the biggest neo-colonial imperialist around: it has more guns than citizens, 600+ mass shootings per year, nearly 2 million locked up in prison, is the biggest weapons supplier to Israel, which has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, and the wrecker of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam...

In this clip, we get a taste of Trump's deep disrespect for, and devaluation of, Black lives. In 1989, Trump took out full-page ads in several newspapers to advocate for the death penalty for five Black and Latino teenagers falsely accused of assault and rape in New York's Central Park. The Central Park Five, as they became known, each served between five and 13 years - before being exonerated in 2002, when the actual attacker confessed.
