Ex-presidential niece Mary Trump told MSNBC host Michael Steele that Republicans, White people — “even allies” — haven’t properly dealt with the “original sins” of racism and genocide.
Mary Trump — host of The Mary Trump Show podcast and a strident Trump critic — was a guest on this week’s edition of the Michael Steele Podcast for an hour of psychoanalyzing America.
MARY TRUMP: Right? And it’s you know, white people don’t want to hear this. And even even allies don’t like facing this stuff. And I get it. But it’s it’s time to own up to the fact that we are here because not only have we never atoned for our original sins. We’ve never properly acknowledged them and now Republicans want to erase them entirely. And part of that, it’s not just the original sins of of enslaving an entire race of people and destroying an entire other race of people. But it’s, it’s not owning what white people in America have gained from the advantage of white supremacy and white privilege. And I think when you confront people that directly, they get defensive.
MICHAEL STEELE: Yeah. Yeah, very much so.
MARY TRUMP: And that’s the problem. It’s like, okay, you’re not responsible. Nobody here is responsible for what happened 400 years ago. Those people are long dead. But that doesn’t mean that we haven’t benefited from the system that continues to this day to operate in America.
