Trump to black columnist: 'You are the racist, not I'

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) —Donald Trump might be a presidential candidate mired in an ongoing national controversy, but he still makes time to offer feedback to newspaper columnists.

This time, the scribe who drew Trump's ire was the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart, who called out the billionaire's "baldly racist xenophobia" in a column earlier this week.

In response, Trump sent Capehart, who is African American, a handwritten note: "Jonathan - You are the racist, not I," Trump wrote. "Get rid of your 'hate.'"

Please Donald say these words, “Capehart is a WAPO Columnist and regularly appears on MSNBC. He is a Black Gay Liberal Activist.”

Then add, “Can you really expect anything from this guy other then biased BS?”

Expose them, then take them down...rhetorically speaking.

Roger that. I would never vote for Trump but I love his presence in the race because he's willing to fight back and blow up the PC crap which gets thrown at every Republican candidate when they speak an uncomfortable truth. Most candidates whimper, go on the defensive, and run for cover with their tail between their legs when the professional offense takers attack them. Hopefully, Trump will show them that you don't loose voters and poll numbers by fighting back on this nonsense.

This might be his actual motivation. He may know damn well he'll never be President, but he might be sick to death of all the fainting, milquetoast, ever-so-delicate fragile little flowers we call Elected Officials.

Capehart, it should be noted, jumped all over the Mike Brown/Ferguson “hands up don’t shoot” false narrative early on.

He actually wrote an amusing piece apologizing for that after the false narrative was proven to be demonstrably false by three different investigations. His cop-out was especially precious; he tried to draw a distinction between the Obama DoJ investigation and the earlier Grand Jury and State ones. Despite the fact that the DoJ investigation pretty much parroted and validated them as accurate.

If I was Trump I’d throw that right in his face.

The word-play which has been used masterfully by the Liberal, Progressive MSM is simply amazing!

The sad part is how many people do not see it or refuse to see it.

Simple things like “Bush lied, people died” which even the MSM have stated and used, is completely stupid considering that Congress, including Democrats, voted for and voiced the same concerns leading up to the vote for the use of force.

However, you will NEVER see the MSM use the word “LIED” when it comes to Obama.

Donald Trump might be a presidential candidate mired in an ongoing national controversy,

"Might be"? Leftists in Big Media, the demonicrat party, and the repugnican party clearly want him to be such ... but their wishes don't make reality.

This whole presidential run thing just ain’t going the way The Donald thought it would, is it?

I disagree. I think this whole thing is going exactly the way Trump has planned. Look at his exposure compared to the others.

When the government practices racism, it’s called “affirmative action.”

He is a Black Gay Liberal Activist

This (and his words and actions) defines him as a vicious, intolerant, judgmental bully ... one who can dish it out but sure as hell can't take it!

Sic 'em, Donald ... and watch the young homosexual negro squirm, then lose control of himself!

Score another win for Trump. Nobody wants to state the obvious that there ARE black racists out there.

Well put.

How do we disarm the word “racism”? Is it by embracing it?
