    CNN: The President's "shithole" remark is being received much differently inside of the WH. Staffers predict the comment will resonate with his base.

        How about not overusing the term racist. Its loosing its identity.

        I don't use the term lightly, but I do think this President exhibits racist behavior. Hence, my claim that he is being racist: think everything from birther movement to now. Half of my friends are republicans and they just wish he'd have more decorum. They wanted Kasich to win.

        Boorish definitely, but it's the context of his statements and actions that I'm referring to, not the vulgarity of his words. He was sued twice by the Fed Gov for discouraging the renting of apartments to African Americans in favor of white tenants. That seems racist to me.

        Things are not fair, I seldom use racist. As a white fem. my inability to speak Spanish hurt job prospects, that is Cali now. Not racist, reality.

        That is nowhere close to his actions and far from racist. What you're describing hurts the job prospects of Latinos that don't speak Spanish in Spanish speaking markets. It happens to my bro in law (chinese) for not speaking Mandarin too. Expand and break into those markets.

        My reason for backing Trump was my 25+ years working for government. No politicians for me.

        By the way if people don't hire you because you're white then that makes them racist. It goes both ways.

        This has been the common thread that holds his supporters together, the wink and nod from R’s shows a low bar can always be lower.

        Of course it will resonate with his bigoted base. They're such racists they don't even care how much he's screwing over anyone who's not a billionaire. They just want to go on watching The Racist Donny Show.
