The vitriol they have thrown at Obama is over the top, outrageous and OBVIOUSLY racist.

However, the white people in the GOP do not have a stranglehold on stupid. Dr. Ben Carson said some completely moronic things, as did the guy from 2012 (Pizza guy.. don't remember his name) and they cheered them on.

Yes, Trump is followed by a bunch of racists and HE is obviously racist, but the GOP has always supported stupid racist idiots, even when they happen to be PoC... so it is more stupidity than supremacy.
