We all realize that Obama left office now. Twenty years of Wright went in one ear and out the other? Did he not consult with Sharpton? Haven't we just recently read that some of the candidates consult Sharpton? Does Trump consult with Spencer? Does anyone in politics? How many do even know who that guy is?
Now, what exactly makes Trump a racist bigot? It is a phrase that so easily flowed from lips, and when one disagreed with Obama, one was quickly called such.
Did some extremists support Obama? Do extremists support Trump? Yes. Will extremists support other candidates? Yes.
Not only did Obama not consult with Wright and Sharpton, he distanced himself from them when he ran for president. You're succumbing to the Fox News bull****.
Trump rose to power with his racist birther agenda, his calling people from Mexico criminals, lying about seeing "thousands of Muslims" cheering the fall the twin towers and then trying to ban people from coming to our great nation because they were Muslim. Under his administration families have been separated, some never to be reunited.
The trump presidency is nothing short of an international crisis. It's disappointing but telling that instead of admitting what trump is you pivot to Obama - I guess because he's mixed race and thus, hating people like Obama for you is cathartic.
