Republicans can’t pretend not to know what fuels the Trump campaign

3. I'm sure that some of them honestly don't realize how racist they actually are.

In a conversation with a co-worker, who is a deacon in his church, he stated that when he was growing up they always called black people n*****s, but there wasn't anything racist about it. What?!?!? I couldn't believe what I was hearing and he couldn't believe that I considered it a racist comment.

It's just so ingrained in them that they don't recognize it. It's not a hatred of AA's or fear. They just believe as a matter of fact that whites are superior to blacks in intellect, morals, industry, you name it. They learned this as children and it has become part of their core beliefs.

To his credit, he told me recently that he can't believe that Trump got the nomination and that he can't vote for him. Of course, he won't vote for Hillary either, but it's at least one less vote for Trump.
