Re: Aug. 25 news story.
It is not up to white billionaires to define racism. It is up to the people who experience it daily (yes, the ones who are, as Donald Trump explains to all-white audiences, getting shot in the streets). “Decent people,” as Trump referred to his supporters Thursday, would never consider snubbing the NAACP, the Urban League, or African-American journalists, let alone insulting Gold Star Muslim families, American judges of Mexican heritage, or hard-working immigrants who have real family values. “Decent people” do not go around calling women pigs and defending sexual predators like Roger Ailes while referring to Mexican immigrants as rapists. We know where the real bigotry and misogyny lie, and Trump is going to get his mouth washed out with soap in November.
