And look, linking Trump to race racism is it's not new from the housing discrimination in the 70s, the Central Park five, the Charlottesville when he called.
The white supremacists there, very fine people, and refusing to denounce the Proud Boys or any of their ilk.
There's little doubt that Trump looks upon people of color as inferior.
But the scariest and most worrying part of all of this is that Trump's base is going to find a way to celebrate this meme.
You're going to see it posted all over your social media feeds.
You're going to see it everywhere, just like you did when Obama was first elected.
The MAGA base, and I know this is going to make some people angry, the MAGA base is a racist base.
And I'm going to adapt a quote to fit this.
And this is an older quote dealing with the aftermath of World War II.
If you see a table of nine people and they're openly discussing racist things and saying racist comments and you sit down at that table and you don't shut down that conversation, you have a table of 10 racists.
And that's what people are going to say about Trump.
Oh, he just shared a meme.
Oh, the people around him are racist.
He's not racist.
Look, and they're going to point to African-Americans that he has supporting him.
The few African-Americans he has supporting him.
Look, I was raised in the Deep South and I've been around racist people all of my life and they have excuses for all of it.
But racism ultimately comes from jealousy and a fear of anything different.
And these are two virtues that Donald Trump holds in mass quantities, especially when it comes to Barack Obama.
Whether it's the Nobel Peace Prize, the war room photos that he's trying to recreate, or Obama's relevance in pop culture and sports.
