Who Bears the Weight of Donald Trump's Racism? Look to America's Children

http://news.yahoo.com/bears-weight-donald-trumps-racism-170500684.html

Does Donald Trump care that America's children are using his policies to taunt one another?

Not necessarily, according to a segment that aired on Wednesday's Morning Joe on MSNBC.

In the segment, NPR Senior News Analyst Cokie Roberts asked the GOP candidate if he's proud that some white children have taunting Hispanic classmates by telling them that Trump — if elected — could deport them.

"Mr. Trump, there have been incidents of children, of white children, pointing to their darker-skinned classmates and saying, 'you'll be deported when Donald Trump is president,'" Roberts told Trump in a phone interview.

"Is that something that you've done into the American and social discourse that you're proud of?"

His answer? "I think that's a nasty question."

doesn't challenge any of the crap he says, who doesn't fact check anything excreting out of his piehole, and who allows him to give infomercials for Trump Water, and Trump Steak disguised as news events. Why can't the media bring up all his poor business deals, bankruptcies, and lawsuits against him for housing discrimination and other crimes? Why are they silent on his sexism, racist, hatred, and white supremacy?

media.

You would think that the national election is between Cruz and Trump. Democratic candidates get a 10 second comment and then it's back to whatever Trump has done today.

they aren't real journalists anymore and they want to be invited to the party.
