Trump's racist remarks fuels new round of racial division in the U.S.

Three days after the police killing of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis, Trump tweeted "When the looting starts, the shooting starts." Taking into account the context of the original expression, the platform flagged the post for "glorifying violence."

The phrase was used both by Miami's police chief, Walter Headley, in 1967, and by presidential candidate and segregationist George Wallace the following year.

On Friday afternoon, Trump tried to walk back from the accusation, tweeting, "Looting leads to shooting, and that's why a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday night - or look at what just happened in Louisville with 7 people shot. I don't want this to happen, and that's what the expression put out last night means...."

Despite Trump's attempts to re-frame the narrative of the comments, his rhetoric inevitably remind everyone of his history of inflaming racial tensions, even during his presidency.
