He had asked members of the Congressional Black Caucus in a March meeting, Vivian Salama reported for NBC News on Friday, if they personally knew Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, who is black. He was surprised when none of the attendees did, two meeting attendees told Salama.

That wasn’t the end of it. In the same meeting, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus told Trump that welfare cuts would hurt her constituents, “not all of whom are black.” Trump then reportedly responded, “Really? Then what are they?”

Trump has pulled this kind of stunt in public before. Last year, when April Ryan, a black reporter, asked Trump if he planned to meet and work with the Congressional Black Caucus, he repeatedly asked her to set up the meeting — even as she insisted that she’s “just a reporter” and therefore not at all affiliated with the congressional group.

The NBC News report comes a day after reports of Trump’s racist remarks about Haiti and African countries. According to the Washington Post, Trump asked during a bipartisan immigration meeting, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Then he suggested that the US should let in people from countries like Norway instead. The implication: People from predominantly black countries are bad, while people from predominantly white countries are good.

1. he's a racist.

2. Just because:

His dad was in the KKK.

The largest housing discrimination charge in DoJ history was against his business.

He pushed the Obama needs to "show his papers" birther crap.

Or asked reporter April Ryan to "fetch him up" some Negro Congresspersons when she
asked Trump about the Congressional Black Caucus.

And BTW he just said, "
Trump: "I'm the least racist person you'll ever interview."

5. "I am the least racist person you will ever meet."

Which means he is the biggest racist you will ever meet!!!

4. Yeah

I used to think that he just did stuff to change the subject when he was getting bad press, but I honestly am starting to think that he simply doesn't care if you know he's racist or not.

3. This is an easy one...

just ask the Google:
Welfare and Government assistance-
6.2M white
2.8M black
2.4M hispanic
700k other

not even close. Working class whites have the highest poverty rate in the country.

6. Trump probably said, "But, Carson is one of your good ones."
