Bill Maher has
previously called businessman Donald Trump a racist for some of his criticism of President Barack Obama, and he was pressed on that claim by Larry King in an interview set to air Tuesday afternoon on
Hulu.com.
So is Donald Trump a racist? Not an overt one. As he has said many times, ‘The black people love me.’ ‘The blacks love me.’ And, by the way, they love being called ‘the blacks,’ also. So he’s one of those racists who doesn’t know he’s a racist, but yes, he is.”
He is establishing himself as the poster adolescent for the segment of the American public that just can't, or won't, accept that the country is no longer run entirely by rich white men like him. In the hateful campaign to define President Barack Obama as "other" in some way—absurd insistences that he is Muslim, not American, or a socialist—Donald trumps the crowd.
Also of comfort are Trump’s business partners who
kicked him to the curb rather than be associated with his rank remarks. What’s sad is that despite such overt racism and intemperate remarks, Trump is
polling well among Republican Party primary voters.

Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign has always been criticized for its sleight of hand racism and her determination to secure white votes and encourage black voters not to vote in favor of Obama out of racial solidarity. This is nothing new her campaign attempted to identify the president as a Muslim sympathizer and connote images of him as an undercover terrorist agent, anti white, anti American, anti Christian, and someone to be suspicious of. All of which are noted in her approach to his endorsement by Minister Farrakhan the 1960s notion of pro-black meaning anti white. The truth is it has been eight years since Clinton has engaged in a racial smear campaign and Americans have simply forgotten about her antics. Likewise, the issue of role race in the 2008 presidential campaign which was constantly in play at the time is a distant memory.
“Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s statement that “Senator Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again” is a backhanded use of the race card. It’s also a fallacy. Now is the time for Mrs. Clinton to realize that both logic and justice demand that she start unifying the Democratic Party rather than continuing to divide it along racial lines.”

…the Clinton camp resorted to increasingly blatant race- and Muslim-baiting. … [Obama] who responded with repeated reassurances that he did not ask for the [Farrakhan] endorsement, did not accept it, and in fact was not a deranged anti-Semite. That wasn't enough for Clinton, who demanded that Obama "denounce" Farrakhan, which he did. There several articles that speak to the issue of race and Clinton’s use of both indirect and direct racism in her campaign. Likewise, she never publicly denounced Geraldine Ferraro’s racist statement against Obama despite the fact that she insisted he denounce Farrakhan’s endorsement of the president in which the minister made no comments racial or otherwise. It seems there is some truth concerning the racist undertones in her politics and previous campaign practices.

…the image of the Clinton campaign sowing racial discord did bubble to the surface following a series of comments made this past week.

In grim times, a bitter Hillary clings to bitter voters who in grim times supposedly cling to guns, religion and antipathy to people who aren’t like them. Mining that antipathy, the New York senator has been working hard to get the hard-working white voters of hardscrabble Appalachia so she can show that a black man can’t yet be elected president.
