People are not born racist, they have to have it hammered into them, and that's what Trump is doing

Yes, racism is hammered in. No Trump is not doing the hammering. He is exploiting the fact it's been hammered into a good number of whites.

In the short run it's sickening. In the long run, I hope he's doing us a public service in the cause of removing racism's power to hurt people.
