Filmmaker, actor and outspoken Donald Trump detractor Rob Reiner says it is impossible to level with the Republican presidential nominee’s bigoted supporters, who are “mostly white males who don’t have college degrees.” In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor said that there’s “a very serious strain of racism” that runs through those supporting the Republican presidential nominee.
“And that’s a kind of disturbing thing, and I don’t think you ever reach those people. I think that they’re impossible to turn around. It’s very disturbing because a lot of these racist ideas have kind of been dormant for a while, and he’s given voice to them — he’s kind of unearthed it. And the thing that’s most disturbing is to discover that there’s so many people that still hold those views,” Reiner said.
Reiner goes onto suggest that Trump supporters feel “threatened” by America’s racial diversity.
“If it isn’t overt racism, it’s this kind of a desperate attempt at holding on to some version of America that they think was there once. They’re really threatened by our diversity, and what’s so great about the experiment of democracy is that it celebrates diversity and diversity is what makes it strong,” he said.

Anyone EVER see Meathead and Michael Moore in the same room??? I think they are one and the same!
I get real tired of people hating me and calling me names for stuff I didn’t do or even thought of doing. I am from up north, not only did I not own slaves , my ancestors fought to free them. I don’t microagress (what ever that is). I obviously failed to cash in my white privilege because I had to work hard in school with some gentle encouragement from my parents (I believe that I am still ‘grounded” to this day). I had to actually get good SAT scores and got no admission preference for being a white male. Once in college I had to take my tests in the allotted time period (no extra time for the privileged boy) AND I somehow knew that a degree in “studies” would get me nowhere. (actually they didn’t exist then). So yeah, I’m tired of being hated for all the stuff I didn’t do to the people who claim they hate me. So, I,m sorry you hate me, now GO AWAY!

Spoken like a true white male without a college education.
These leftist radicals hate, hate, hate white males (except for themselves). They don’t want to say, but they hate white females, black and browns outside their Mao little circle too.
If you have not been to college, you have not been sufficiently brainwashed to understand that blacks and browns are your racial superiors and that Islamists are your cultural and religious superiors. You have not been sufficiently brow beaten and shamed into surrendering your heritage, culture and identity. You do not understand that America is no longer your nation - you are a nobody with nothing; an inferior.
The only racists in power are liberals/globalists. That is true of people in both parties who have taken on this supremacist ideology. If they had any shame, they would be ashamed of themselves.
How many white hollywierdos have no college degree?
America was the land of opportunity, now its the land of new colonization, conquest and dependency. Watch and see where that takes us. We had a good thing going, and its going to take a miracle to put it back on track. Opening our doors to anyone who wants to come here without knowing who they were or what they done is like bringing in cancer cells and hoping we can cure ourselves later.
RIGHT!!! Old Yugoslavia was VERY “diverse”, and it didn’t do THEM much good at all!!! Also, will these leftist numbskulls EVER learn that America is a representative REPUBLIC, NOT a democracy?!

And it took a dictator to hold it together.
