Trump Supporter Yell, "Go Back to Africa!" at African American Protesters

Politics is ugly. We all know this. But while the democrats are fighting over who loves health care most, a Donald Trump rally was canceled because of violence and now this.

MSNBC's national reporter Tony Dokoupil shared footage of a Trump supporter screaming, "Go back to Africa!" at a group of Black Lives Matter protesters outside a Cleveland rally for Trump.

Looks like things got pretty heated among other protesters outside the arena, and some protesters were escorted out during Trump's speech. It's a sad state of affairs, but at least everyone used words instead of fists.

But, but Trump says his supporters aren't racist. they are just...passionate

But he says he isn't racist. Remember how he even questioned whether or not Ben Carson was a 'good' surgeon? No way he could be a surgeon at all.
