The Trump Effect continues. I toiled on whether to post this or not. I decided to do it because of a sentence the racist woman said near the end of the voicemail.
University of Maryland professor Jason Nichols, a black man, appeared on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson to discuss whether one should celebrate Columbus Day. He returned to a racist voicemail.
The topic on Tucker Carlson’s show was interesting. Christopher Columbus was cruel to the indigenous people on the islands he pillaged. The professor made it clear that just like no one glorifies Hitler, Stalin, or other leaders who killed thousands, Columbus should not either. Tucker pushed back but it was a pleasant debate.

The segment made a white woman go into a full-fledged racist mode. She called the professor and let him a voicemail filled with a litany of racial epithets and

What was shocking about the racist rant on the voicemail is the stereotypes of black people this woman still believes in 2017. One would think by now they would be debunked in the minds of most. But the main reason I posted this is the last statement in the voicemail.
“It is about time you hear it from us white people,” the woman said. “A lot of white people feel like I do. Because you are nothing but f$cking n$ggers.”
Look in the mirror and make sure both in your mind and your heart, you are not one of the “a ‘lot’ of white people” this woman is talking about.
