The Southern Poverty Law Center’s Ryan Lenz made a wild claim on CNN Monday morning, that Donald Trump’s popular “drain the swamp” phrase, which refers to removing corruption and “pay-for-play” politics from the federal government, is racist.
“Drain the swam was a meme, a Twitter hashtag that grew, exploded, really, after Donald Trump came forward with allegations it was a rigged election,” Lenz told “At This Hour” host John Berman. “It was spread specifically — or among the people that were spreading the drain the swamp hashtag were avowed racists, white supremacists who exist on Twitter to harass and demean various ethnic groups.”
“So we have a little bit of a two-sided message here,” Lenz added, oblivious to the audacity of the point he was trying to make. “Yeah, he’s saying stop it, but he’s also, you know, giving a wink-wink, nod-nod to the very people he’s asking to step away from their violence.”

Wow, yet another person/phrase/thing declared racist. I’m shocked. Let’s save everyone some time. Let’s just agree EVERYTHING is racist with a few exceptions. I think it would be far easier to simply list those few things.
Unfortunately, it's not gonna happen. They're "respected" for precisely the same reason the Huffington Post got so big, so fast: they tell liberals exactly what they want to hear. And if there's one thing liberals are loyal to, it's anything that confirms their self-image.
You’re correct!
The expression
“When you’re up to you ass in alligators, it hard to remember the mission is to drain the swamp”
is ancient

Everything in life is racist apparently with these Liberals.
If it’s racist to want to send corrupt leaders packing then count me in - I’m a racist.
I’d be willing to bet that many of the minority members of congress are corrupt. That’s why they’re worried about Trump.
CNN = Fake News.
“Southern” “Poverty” “Law” Center = bigoted racist hate group.
The SPLC is a communist and anti-white organization
Racist against alligators?
“Drain the swamp” comes from the actual problems emanating from a swamp that caused people to drain real swamps.

View from a ridge near Benton Ridge, Ohio, which demarks the edge of the former Great Black Swamp.
The ridge was formed at the southern shore of the ancient lake. In the distance, a completely flat expanse of agricultural land extends to the horizon. In the foreground a ditch used to drain the swamp is visible.[1][2]
The Great Black Swamp (also known simply as the Black Swamp), was a glacially fed wetland in northwest Ohio and extreme northeast Indiana, United States, that existed from the end of the Wisconsin glaciation until the late 19th century. Comprising extensive swamps and marshes, with some higher, drier ground interspersed, it occupied what was formerly the southwestern part of proglacial Lake Maumee, a holocene precursor to Lake Erie. The area was about 25 miles (40 km) wide (north to south) and 100 miles (160 km) long, covering an estimated 1,500 square miles (4,000 km2).[3] Gradually drained and settled in the second half of the 19th century, it is now highly productive farm land. During the second half of the 20th century, efforts were undertaken to preserve and restore portions of the swamp to its pre-settlement state.

Not only that, but it’s a Reagan quote from 1982.
“It’s hard to remember when you’re up to your armpits in alligators that you came here to drain the swamp.”
Don’t leave out group hugs.
Creature from the Black Lagoon?
Beware—Tossing around the word racist will only cause the “Boy who Cried wolf” syndrome —It will become worthless. Once it was a club that the left could use to knock down real or imagines enemies—and it worked well. But, over use may have limited its power and use. It seems everything now is racist—the flag of the USA, the color white, “God Bless America” song, Uniforms of police or soldiers, everything that defines America. Bad idea. Your race card has just expired— insufficient funds.
Fake news by the alt-left media.
Okay.
But when did I toss around the word racist?
