A black writer coming to Campbell University on Sept. 26 to talk about racism on college campuses has said President Donald Trump is a white supremacist, and the school is being criticized for hosting him.

California-based Lawrence Ross, author of “The Divine Nine: The History of African American Fraternities and Sororities,” and “Blackballed: The Black & White Politics of Race on America’s Campuses,” is scheduled to speak at Campbell as part of “Risky Business Week.”

On Sept. 13, Ross tweeted, “Whether or not Donald Trump is a white supremacist is settled law. He is,” launching a protracted exchange with people who agreed or disagreed.

The word “racists” is not working as well anymore, so now the ultimate “shame” is to be called a “white supremacist”.

It’s just another name game, played by immature liberals and self-loathing black people.

This guy is a racist and a race-baiter, but he’s got a right to his opinion and Campbell University has a right to host his speech.

And, those that oppose him have a right to point out that he’s wrong.
