April Ryan and Trump's bigotry

[OldHippieChick]

April Ryan asked a question of Trump about the inner-cities, during this so-called presser and included a mention of the Congressional Black Caucus. Trump (paraphrasing) said he'd be glad to meet w/ them and could she set up the meeting? There is so much wrong w/ this, but I had not seen this posted any where else. For those of you who don't know, April is non-white.

1. April Ryan tweets: I am a journalist not a convener.

2. If he really wants to meet with the CBC then he will get his people to

schedule this meeting. He has people who are hired to just make appointments for him. She should have told him that. But I guess she was so taken aback by his foolishness.

4. The CBC says they've tried to contact him to meet and got no reply.

3. First off...

First off, he didn't know what the CBC was! You would think that if he was really serious about helping the inner cities, he would have heard about the CBC by now!

5. He thought she was talking about the British TV channel

and he was trying to figure out why she thought he should talk to them after he just talked down to them.

6. Canadian Broadcasting Company... anyway...

His bigotry is glaring... he obviously assumes every black person must know every other black person... it's no different than the kind of bigotry my Chinese friend talks about all the time: "Hey- your Chinese, do you know the Fong's in San Francisco?"

His lack of self-awareness is staggering...

7. I was joking that he thought it was bbc

edit - he had just insulted the bbc to their reporter

12. When I heard that I was wishing she would have said "I know we all look alike, but . . . ."

I agree, that was obvious bigotry.
