If these are just a small minority , then the large majority is apparently AOK with all of this stuff going on , because they have no strong condemnations of it . The large majority is more concerned with personally being called racists than calling out the racists among them . Through their inaction , they grant tacit approval to these people , their words , and their methods they are being used as an expanded powerbase which can be relied upon to go with the flow and camoflage the racists ' reprehensible behavior . What is it that Trump supporters say about Muslims ? Why don ' t you call out radical Islamic terrorism ? Why don ' t you moderate Muslims speak up , speak out , and put a stop to this ? Your inaction grants the radicals your tacit approval . Well , take a look in the mirror . For fuck ' s sake , Trump himself has stronger words for comedians on Twitter than he does for the altright white nationlists white supremacists fascists wannabeNazis and racists supporting him . Not a group I ' d like to empower . The guy gets more worked up about SNL sketches than he does about a bunch of lunatics who idolize him dreaming about lynching black people and shooting Muslims in the street .
