Former President Donald Trump is facing backlash for holding rallies in places described as “sundown towns.”
As an American, I had no clue what a “sundown town” was, but I do know how far American media will go to obfuscate Führer Drumpf’s outright racism and bigotry.
Dude it’s a SUPER old term. Like, Civil War old. They’re using the term because it’s highly associated with slavery-flavored racism.
Edit: I’m not saying it’s an archaic or disused term. I’m saying the term was coined well over a century ago.
Uh yeah that’s more or less what the article is about? I wasn’t trying to say “it’s not used anymore” I only meant that the term was coined a long time ago.

Same… I figured it was one of those retirement communities where people go to die. TIL.
