Questions about the role of racism in Trump’s MAGA support follow offensive social media post



The panicked response by Donald Trump and his White House support staff to the backlash against his racist social media post suggest Trump miscalculated how much racism the American people are willing to tolerate, which may be a reflection of the bubble in which he lives. Janai Nelson, president and director-counsel of the Legal Defense Fund, and Eddie Glaude, a professor at Princeton University, talk with Michael Steele about the regressive nature of Trump’s brazen racism and the extent to which Trump’s racism is reflected in attitudes among the general American public.

  1. Caucasians are not WHITE they are people of color just like African Americans, Native Americans, Asians ect,All people of color arabs or middle Easterners,which ever u choose ๐Ÿ˜‚ no race is more superior than the others
    ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ and even though we all have the same Creator, the true children are the ones who follow his word,and do what he requires us to do,and what we cant do bring it to him!! Unlike trump๐Ÿ˜‚ God is truly the only one that can fix this country and its people! I feel foolish having to remind u humans of something u already know๐Ÿ˜‚ whether u believe God exist or not i dont think it matters to the Father๐Ÿ˜‚ 1 thing 4 certain 2 things 4sure, it aint Donald j trump ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Mau God have mercy on us all!!!

  2. It's time for Congress to Impeach and remove him from office. The American people need to demand that he be impeach and removed from office.! I am a 71 year old black woman and I am tired of this bigot

  3. Only 2,000 plus views but I don't understand why black people support Trump. The evidence in the history of evidence is there and they're probably having the most difficult time because of trump

  4. When Trump became President, I said to myself ok just give him a chance to prove me/us wrong and that he could pull this thing off because he is the President now, it started going down hill for me when he began wiping, removing, and scrubbing anything Black related right after his all non black cabinet was assigned-except HUD- I think this really seal the deal for me only because it came from the top yes, he's done more than enough to have a bad taste in my mouth- bad decisions here and there I get it but, he really didn't have to feed his base anymore because they are already hooked, lined, and sunk…, they have black holes for eyes, gone.

  5. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

  6. Why hasn't Byron Donald spoke about this? His silence is deafening. Only shows nothing will sway his support to the god king. If anyone else in this country posted this, we'd be fired from our job immediately. I wonder if Trump put Donald's face on there instead, would he be racist?

  7. Trump and his regime doesnโ€™t think that black and brown people are equal to them.. NO ONE HAD A CHOICE IN THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. COLOR OF YOUR SKIN DOES NOT MAKE A MAN. INTEGRITY, GOODWILL FOR OTHERS, NOT BEING HATEFUL, โ€ฆ.. THAT IS WHAT A HUMAN BEING SHOULD BE THROUGH OUT THEIR LIVES. THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO SOUL. THEY PROFESS TO WORSHIP GOD, THEY ARE NOT PRACTICING WHAT THEY PREACH. WHAT HAPPENED TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. SEGREGATION IN HEAVEN. LOL

  8. Thanks ! I'm From Brazil but I beg Your pardon By This stupid video ! I Think that decades of racial pacific development Road constructed Trough Democratic tools may be destroyed By This POST. It Was a bad example to The rest of The World !.

  9. Thanks to The Anchor of This Journal and congratulations to Mr Eddie Glaude and Mrs Janai Nelson ! Congratulations From Brazil ! The American Democracy Must be defended By everybody and preserving This History (American History to everybody !).

  10. FAKE president FAKE! REAL RACIST! THOSE ON THE FENCE DO NOT GOT TO LOVE BLACK PEOPLE AT THIS POUNT IN TIME HIS INTENTIONS AND HATRED AGENDA IS BLANTANT! THEY SHOULD AT THE VERY TROUBLE TIMES UNDERSTAND JUST WHERE WE ARE AT! HIS APOLOGY IS FAKE PHONEY AND NOT NEEDED! HIS MESSAGE OF CHAOS, DESTRUCTION AND HATRED IS HOW HE IS AND AMERICANS DON'T WANT HIS BRAND OF HATRED! ITS OLD AND USELESS BULLCRAP!

  11. I wasn't surprised because I've realized he was a Racist since back in the time of the Central Park 5!
    Since he and his Father ran all those Slum Apartments in NYC! Since he wouldn't rent to Blacks in certain Apartments. So, why would we be surprised to "realize, lol," that he is a racist?
    Now, the disrespect he showed to the Obamas is over the top, but just like when he created the meme with him in a Plane Pooping on the people of America, which includes us!

    But it seems everyone acts shocked, then our people do nothing but talk about it, and life goes on!

    I have seen Spanish people do more about this disrespect than Black people!

    Oh, and please don't "March again, lol ๐Ÿ˜‚"

    Maybe it's time to create a Superpac we can all be involved in, because we need to know who is really representing us other than the Congress and Senators, cause I think the Superpacs of others are paying them to disrespect us and get away with it.

    Or we can make them give us our own sovereign area in the Americas!

    How long are we going to continue to allow people who hate us and disrespect us to run our lives?

    Everytime we don't do anything they puff up more believing we can't do without them. We are like "Battered Women"

  12. The slumlord"s son, this privileged entitled white boy's preeminent beliefs that revels in and wallows in the privilege especially any and all efforts to accumulate anything not nailed down to his own betterment.

  13. It wasnt MAGA that fought a shooting war to protect slavery or spent a century pushing Jim Crow and the KKK or created the great society to destroy the black nuclear family and replace it with the urban plantations controlled by the Democrat Party.

  14. YEA,,BUT IS TRUMP REALLY A MENTAL CASE,,,,OR JUST ROBBING THE COUNTRY AND USINGTHISCRAP AS A DISTRACTION???,,,TRUMP IS A DELUSIONAL ANTI-AMERICAN DUMB AZZ,,,AMERICA, VOTE BLUE NATIONWIDE REGARDLESS OF PAST POLITICS,,,"WE", ARE IN THIS, TOGETHER,,,

  15. Every day, Trump and his Tyranny Executive Founders deliberately and unscrupulously spit on the memory of the Founding Fathers of true Democracy and America's cornerstone, the Constitution ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ข
