"The problem is the black people in America."

From a trump supporter via npr.

"That is only intended by certain persons to split us apart as a nation rather than solve problems," Noel said. When asked if he was concerned by the fact that there were hardly any people of color at the Drumpf rally, he responded, "The problem is the black people in America."

He isn't even the nominee yet, but white supremacists are already being very casual about pushing racism.

2. Inaccurate. Ignorance is the reason racism exists.

Inaccurate. Ignorance is the reason racism exists.

3. If there's any good to come out of Herr Trump's campaign...

it's the undeniable revelation that America is still very much the racist nation that it was 50 or 100 years ago.

A Pyrrhic victory, to be sure, but at least it helps to strip away the facade.

4. If eight years with President Obama did no show how deep racism runs in this country.

Then people were not paying attention.

5. Well that's certainly true, alas (nt)

[Lancero]

6. Saddest fact about his presidency is that many racists will claim it...

As proof that racism doesn't exist in this country.

7. They do love their paradoxes...

Eight years of treating our first black president like shit, and they'll claim the end of racism.

8. SMH

The problem is not black people never has been, because if black people we’re not in this country, then the problem would be red people or yellow people. The problem is ignorance and manipulation of the ignorant, the need to feel superior to all non-white people, this is all by design to keep people divided and it works best on those who hold on to the lies that being born white makes you superior to everybody else.

9. Well from a Truper pov he has one point

Because they're sure as hell going to be a problem for him in the GE. If you thought Obama/Romney was lopsided for A/A voters, you ain't seen nothing yet.

10. I guess the full quote is more damning.

"The problem is the black people in America. (...?) American blacks are unsophisticated in understanding that they need to make people earn their vote. We have had a batch of people who played like race was an issue. I don't see anybody here wanting to hurt a black person or cut their opportunities or anything."

Oddly, he's pre-echoed by a bunch of people in the left, right, and center who look at ethnic-loyalty voting patterns, with some strong criticism even here concerning how many voters blinding vote and how much Af-Am Clinton-loyalty really isn't being merited. "Taken for granted" is one of the phrases used.
