To what extent is the assault on the U.S. Capitol an extension of racially-motivated violence in U.S. history? Use specific evidence. (Compare and contrast to the Colfax and Wilmington Massacres). (write in complete sentences, at least one complete paragraph.)

Some were against Trump keeping immigrants out due to families being separated etc. I guess that is kinda looked at like it's racist. Truth of the matter though he wouldn't have cared if they were white and foreign he still would have sent them packing. He is actually doing what he can to save America if only some would open their eyes.
