“Make America Great Again” campaign slogan
Actor Bryan Cranston explained to CNN’s Chris Wallace at the weekend exactly why he believes Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan can be interpreted as racist.
Cranston firstly told Wallace it was “imperative” that critical race theory is taught in the United States and “that we look at our history much the same, I think, that Germany has looked at their history and involvement in the wars, I and II, and embrace.”
It was better to say, “This is where we went wrong. This is how it went wrong,” he suggested.
Cranston then turned to Trump’s rallying cry.
“When I see the ‘Make America Great Again,’ my comment is, ‘Do you accept that that could possibly be construed as a racist remark?’ And most people, a lot of people, go, ‘How could that be racist? Make America Great Again?’”
“I say, so, ‘Just ask yourself, from an African American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African American?’” he continued. ”‘When was it great?’ So, if you’re making it great again, it’s not including them.’”

Seriously? Don’t you mean white male privilege created blind spots? Because America has never been great for women since they couldn’t get educated for most of American history, didn’t get the right to vote until 1920, couldn’t have credit or birth control or abortion until 1970s, still make less than men at same jobs and have fewer rights than men. Rape, and domestic violence are underreported and under prosecuted. Abortion rights have been taken away from women for a reason and that reason is to keep them in their place as subordinate baby makers and cheap labor.
As far as teaching CRT, can they all teach critical gender history, critical class history, etc? Because BIPOC aren’t the only ones whose lives and struggles have been forgotten. Women’s issues affect all races. Women are more than 50% of population and the rights they fought for are being whittled away bit by bit to make America great again for men.
