I have heard people say, in a very racist way, "They should all go back to Africa" or "We should send them all back to Africa."  It's very common thing to say among racists.  I grew up knowing quite a few of them.  They usually tossed in the N-word when they said it.  That's why his remark is considered racist.  It has been a very common thing for racists to say.  

Now, is Trump a racist?  Or is he just a demagogue fanning the flames to fire up his base?  Or is he just an idiot who doesn't understand what he's saying?  Or is he all three of those?  One thing for sure- that guy should not be President of the United States. 

Last night, at a Trump rally, the crowd started chanting "Send her back!  Send her back!"  Trump stood up there looking real pleased with himself.  Sort of reminded me of Mussolini.  Now this morning, Trump is saying he didn't like that chant.  So maybe, just maybe, his friends have finally gotten through to him that he has gone way over the line.

I know we’re talking about Trump, but I have to I admit I have told someone to go back to their country if they didn’t like it here.  Before I’m labeled a racist, it was a white British girl/woman [BLEEP] about the US and it was shortly after 9/11.  Is that ok?  I assume so because I was called into HR and they didn’t do anything.  They did ask me to apologize, but I refused.  They insisted, so I said I’d apologize for hurting her feelings but not for what I said.  They agreed.  I don’t regret saying what I said one bit.  Coming over here for a better life then [BLEEP] about the country giving it to you. Smh.
