Let's assume for a moment you're right. Donald Trump is racist.

BUT if that's true:

  • Why would he sign and support 250M of annual funding for historically black colleges? Why would his administration provide more than $500 million in loans to historically black colleges?
  • Why would he create an environment that supported RECORD LOW black unemployment? Why would black American incomes increase 2.6%?
  • Why would he support and sign meaningful criminal justice reform, like First Step Act?

Prepare to watch brains explode.
