You can't boil down 250 years of institutional racism into a tidy soundbyte unfortunately.

N-E-B's Twitter poll has Trump up 67%-33%...

Granted only 3 people voted...

And they're all Canadian...

I guess she can relate to getting her ##### grabbed more than being respected.

Truth officially died during this election (even if Clinton somehow pulls out a win). Welcome to the world of the alt-right, where Podesta is a satanist and Clinton has murdered dozens of people.

I'm moving one country further north if Trump wins. I'll just stare menacingly towards Lethbridge if Clinton wins. Man. This sucks bad.

The girl on ABC said Hillary is still favored to win. She did not sound like she believed it.

You know it's sad when the story of the race voters reads like the comments from a world star hip hop video.

The fact race is playing a part in this is so sad and so American.

Seriously, it will be a cold day in hell before I defend that guy. He is top 5 in my most hated list. I will apologize for putting Clinton in the same class of moron, that I will happily concede.
No, you are severely incorrect. Everything that bears his name as the author has a ghost writer who essentially wrote every word. The guy who wrote The Art of the Deal came out and talked about how he had to present Trump in a better light in order to sell books. This is after years of Trump claiming he wrote the book, when he didn't do a single thing but have a ghost writer follow him around for months.

The fight for white privilege is an interesting way of characterizing what's going on among Trump's core supporters. It also harkens back to where white privilege comes from, i.e., exploiting other races and colonizing them. The US is a classic example of this, with slavery and genocide being keys to the original success of its white population. It seems that some of these folks remember how their bread was originally buttered.

It's an interesting ethical question too: to what degree should you fight for the well-being of the group you identify with at the obvious expense of other groups? And what groups are you (and are you not) allowed to draw lines between?

Maybe I'm a moron, but I really don't believe racism is why Trump is winning.
