Folks have been whining racism about Trump since day one, and I really can't find any of these direct comments. But women like Jemele Hill here just continue to push and push the narrative, even if it doesn't exist. If you push hard enough and long enough, they think it will be enough reality and Americans will believe it. That's how much of our media operates today.
And with racism in America overall. How in the world will things ever get solved if people keep pushing narratives like this? Why not do as I stated many times, and have positive meetings and press conferences and only entertain such positive things and work towards goals of getting things done? Embrace differences all the way around but work together to build together. But it's obvious that people are working to keep people apart.

Jemele Hill: Trump Fulfills Dreams of White Supremacist President
The idea that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to fix the 2016 presidential election has been debunked. However, according to The Atlantic's Jemele Hill, he did carry out the racist dirty work for the 17th president of the United States, Democrat Andrew Johnson. Johnson swore that his government would be grounded in white supremacy, and she claims Trump has now made that a reality.
Hill, who as an ESPN SportsCenter co-anchor tweeted in 2017 that President Trump and his supporters are "white supremacists," made her accusations in light of recent White House visits by two championship sports teams and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Tiger Woods. The Baylor University women's national basketball champions visited Trump in April, while Woods and the 2018 World Series champion Boston Red Sox separately went to the White House last week.
Hill wrote that the tradition of championship sports teams visiting the White House began in 1865 when Union soldiers played baseball on the White House lawn. Johnson, who succeeded Abraham Lincoln as president after he was assassinated, was indeed a white supremacist, Hill relates:
"But President Andrew Johnson wasn’t really on board with a message of togetherness. Around that time, The Cincinnati Enquirer quoted Johnson as telling the governor of Missouri, 'This is a country for white men, and by God, so long as I am president, it shall be a government for white men.'
"That divisive proclamation 154 years ago turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Johnson wanted a government where certain people felt excluded. Under Trump, Johnson’s wish came true."
Hill is able to discern that Trump hasn’t made his views as overt as Johnson did, but his actions, policies and treatment of marginalized citizens reveal his underlying attitudes. This has turned championship receptions hosted by Trump into "an uncomfortable experience for athletes of color—who are often asked to cast aside their identity for the comfort of their white teammates, owners, coaches, and fans."
Hill also alleged that White House visits should be apolitical and devoid of drama. "But under Trump’s administration, that simply isn’t possible.":
"Black and Hispanic players and coaches are expected to justify their reasons for not going to Trump’s White House. But the real question is: Why have so many of the white players on the Red Sox chosen not to support their black and brown teammates?"
