New York Times headline: “Critics See Stephen Bannon, Trump’s Pick for Strategist, as Voice of Racism”
Oh FFS! Steve Bannon’s history of waving the banner of both implicit and explicit racism is not a judgment call or matter of perspective. That’s like saying “Critics See Animal in this Picture as Duck-like.” If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and calls for the separation of the races like a duck and publishes racist rhetoric like a duck, it’s a racist duck.
(The duck pictured is just a metaphor, of course. I apologize for any implication that the duck in this picture is racist. He isn’t a racist, he just thinks ducks with feathers of different colors would be more comfortable with their own kind.)

I really think you should give the duck a chance. Wait and see if it really does quack like a duck before you make any judgements.
The duck picture is ridiculously huge and might not display all that well on phones.
Swapped for smaller duck.
I find it very telling that you chose a picture of a white duck.

You forgot #reverseracism!
Does that duck have just a hint of comb over?
The duck will see you in court.
