April Ryan and Trump's bigotry

April Ryan asked a question of Trump about the inner-cities, during this so-called presser and included a mention of the Congressional Black Caucus. Trump (paraphrasing) said he'd be glad to meet w/ them and could she set up the meeting? There is so much wrong w/ this, but I had not seen this posted any where else. For those of you who don't know, April is non-white.

Words escape me

schedule this meeting. He has people who are hired to just make appointments for him. She should have told him that. But I guess she was so taken aback by his foolishness.

First off, he didn't know what the CBC was! You would think that if he was really serious about helping the inner cities, he would have heard about the CBC by now!

His bigotry is glaring... he obviously assumes every black person must know every other black person... it's no different than the kind of bigotry my Chinese friend talks about all the time: "Hey- your Chinese, do you know the Fong's in San Francisco?"

His lack of self-awareness is staggering...
