The caravan ad from the Trump re-election campaign, which aired on NBC during Sunday Night Football after being rejected by CNN, is racist. It is blaringly, blatantly racist. It is designed to make white Americans scared of Latin American immigrants, to stoke fears of crimes committed by brown-skinned people and evoke existential demographic panic among a slice of the electorate that has been primed by years of similarly racist propaganda to fear a changing country.

Brian Kemps campaign for governor of Georgia is racist. He has abused his office as secretary of state to purge and otherwise block black Georgians from voting, and his campaign has been aided in the home stretch by a robocall in which someone posing as magical Negro Oprah Winfrey delivers a bizarre racist monologue.
