The businessman and politician was a white supremacist, British imperialist and arguably the architect of apartheid with the Glen Grey act of 1894. Rhodes’ crimes were numerous and rarely disputed today, but his memory tells us that money talks: whether through the Rhodes scholarships at Oxford, or the statues that remain across the globe, his legacy is pervasive.

"What Trump is doing is wildly outside American traditions and values, and that's what we're covering and responding to and I think you see that across major media outlets," Smith told CNN.

I was raised in the suburbs of Orange County, and I love my little city as one can only love one's own home. I love the long road leading to my high school, the one where I learned to drive. I love the boba place right off the freeway where my friends and I spent countless nights making memories and growing up. I love the tree-lined streets, the peaceful buzz of the growing city. I love the feeling of safety and familiarity.
