China's Concentration Camps in East Turkestan

East Turkestan was occupied by China in 1949, and accordingly renamed to Xinjiang, which is currently the largest province in China.

Donald Trump Racism, Sexism and Religious Intolerance

Perhaps no place in the United States was more dominated by hate speech than Donald Trump’s rallies, after claiming that the system was rigid and that he was capable of fixing it, he kept blaming minorities for every economic failure that the country has ever witnessed.

Donald Trump Scapegoats Minorities then Calls for Unity

Hate speech was perhaps the key element that led Donald Trump to winning the 2016 Presidential election; divisiveness has been his presidential trademark since he was a candidate.

Heads of the states of Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia... could not help but fall in love with Uncle XI's dictatorship.

Trump Era: Racism and Religious Intolerance

Many US citizens voted for Trump in the previous presidential election, when for most people elsewhere the man was a joke. It was hard to believe that a globally recognized racist, sexist, rude icon of reality TV will become the President of the United States. Now he is delivering on his implicit promises; taking care of the rich and powerful while throwing everyone else under the bus.
