CHARLES BLOW: I'm blown away by all the euphemisms we're using right now. Even in the lead in, he said “he calls it like it is, he’s just saying what's on his mind.” No, that’s not what it is, though. In the interview he says some of the things that I used to say and some of the things Trump is saying, that people say are not racist, we didn't used to call it racist. That doesn't mean it wasn't. And this idea that he says later that people should just get over it. It is fascinating to me and in fact supremely insulting when people who were never subjects of the bitterness and pain and subjugation of racism to tell people who were that you should just get over it. And to cast that -- political correctness has become this blanket that people throw over everything they want to say, or want to do –

DON LEMON (HOST): When they want to make an excuse for it.

BLOW: They want to normalize it, right. It's not even just making an excuse for it. I want my inner most darkest things in me, that I want to get out, to be able to come out, and to be able to be normalized and people for not to look at that and say that is necessarily a negative for me.
