White supremacists and racists love the guy and say he has caused a resurgence in their ranks.

Now, in Iowa, we see that Trump’s bigotry is spreading to high school basketball games. It’s ugly and infuriating.

Dallas Center-Grimes High School in Des Moines is predominantly white. After their basketball team, which appeared also to be predominantly white, lost to Perry High School, fans began chanting “Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump” at the opposing players — many of who were Latino.

That’s a great point. But has he actually been on tv?

I remember the lamestream media digging him up quite a bit back in 2008 to in order disparage (and thereby support) Obama's candidacy. Unfortunately, he refused to support McCain either so the media lost interest.

I agree with everything you said except I hope Trump is anti-Muslim!

Joe Scarborough brilliantly said this morning that Trump doesn’t want 2 billion muslims to come to this country. (He said it like that was a bad thing!)

The GOPe is pushing the meme that Trump is a racist REALLY HARD.

It’s racist to let whites play basketball. The sport should be reserved for people of color, then you wouldn’t have problems like this.

(Probably ought to add a sarcasm tag)

Agree. Every incident such as this one, brings more people to Trump’s fold.

Why didn’t Trump categorically disallow this group.

Yep, there he goes again. Not doing what any well managed professional politician would have done.

Add on top of that something like 5 disavowals by Trump, this is not going to destroy his campaign like you hope.

Can you point me to the five disavowals? I've only seen one - at the Christie endorsement presser - and that was hardly enthusiastic.

About ten years ago at the local “cross town rivalry” basketball game one side of the auditorium started chanting “You can’t dance, You can’t dance”.
The other side started chanting “You can’t read, You can’t read”.

Very true and funny!

So they are racist for screaming Trump’s name but Chris Rock is biting, witty and insightfull when he bashes white people. Just want to get it correct.

That probably put an end to “you can’t dance”, no?

They’re white, therefore they’re racist.
