Face the Nation, Ken Burns, his take on the birth certificate flap with Obama and he mentioned Trump in regards to this, said it was a sophisticated way of saying the “n” word.

Ken Burns (transcribed):

"We pretend that we are in some post-racial society. We're not. The Onion magazine got it right when he [Obama] was inaugurated, "Black man given worst job in the world."

What we've seen is a kind of reaction to this. The Birther movement, of which Donald Trump is one of the authors of is another politer way of saying the "N" word. It's just more sophisticated, and a little bit more clever. He's other. He's different.

What's actually other and different about him? It turns out that it's the same old thing---the color of his skin."

STUNNINGLY ignorant and dishonest statement.

Is it beneath Burns to make an incendiary comment like that to publicize the upcoming airing of the new & improved Civil War series?

If Burns did a documentary on the Wright Brothers he would find a way to insert white racism into the narrative.
