After President Donald Trump killed Iran Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani in an airstrike Friday, liberals suggested the president’s decision was based on — drumroll, please — racism. “There is nothing new about American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people for the expansion of American imperialism,” NFL quarterback turned liberal commentator Colin Kaepernick tweeted.
