Lawmakers of color blast Trump for reportedly instructing agencies to end anti-bias testing

Leading lawmakers of color blasted President Trump's administration on Tuesday for reportedly instructing federal agencies to cease employee racial sensitivity training.

The chairs of the Congressional Tri-Caucus, Reps. Judy Chu (D-Calif.), Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) and Karen Bass (D-Calif.), called on administration officials in a statement to reverse the reported decision to cancel anti-bias training.

Chu, Castro and Bass head the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus, respectively.

The lawmakers accused the administration of "trying to sweep our nation's history of racism under the rug."

He's trying to corner the market on racism. He knows he can get free press by getting black people and non-racists angry. They shouldn't fall for it. It's just trolling using the Presidency. Disgraceful but should be ignored. Voting is the way to pay back Trump's trolling.
