Is Jeb Bush More Racist Than Donald Trump?

Most of the media’s attention has been focused on police violence when discussing race in recent months, with Republicans being forced to stay as silent as possible on the issue. But in their silence, they are launching a stealth attack on African Americans in the form of class warfare.

Nearly every Republican candidate has made it clear that they support cuts to welfare programs for needy families, but this talking point has more to do with race-baiting than it does with cutting government spending. This technique was perfected in the 1980’s by Ronald Reagan and his use of the so-called Welfare Queen, and the attack continues to this very day.

And if there’s one candidate that has mastered the art of the underhanded race attack, it's Jeb Bush.

It is really tiresome to see people give a pass on Trump.

Because Trump does not have an executive record does not mean he is not a racist. Actually, ring of fire, a few weeks ago, was expanding on the fact Trump was a racist and an antisemit. Do they have such a short memory?
