jr. shortly after the event mlk's nephew had this response when asked if the president is racist. listen. >> i don't think president trump is a racist in the traditional sense as we know in this country. i think president trump is racially ignorant or racially uninformed. >> that's a very interesting way to look at it, tarah. what do you make of that explanation? >> well, you know, as we've watched these things unfold over the last couple of years since donald trump entered the political fray, i've struggled with is he a racist versus is he a bigot. i think 100% he's a bigot and he, obviously, traffics in racial stereotypes and dated ones at that. so i think there's a different connotation when you say racist, per se, because then it's actively engaging in a supremacy kind of a situation, where you are -- you think people are inferior and do things to keep them down. if he were a racist in the traditional sense, i don't think you would see any african-americans around. you wouldn't see him put on the show for some people. he may feel uncomfortable, may be racially insensitive, so
