MELANIA TRUMP, 48, has been called ‘racist’ by a feminist author from Nigeria after she conducted an interview in Africa wearing a pith hat. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie made the comments talking with Esquire.

Melania Trump has been branded “racist” by a Nigerian feminist author.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, 41, is a world-renowned writer who came to global fame when her Tedx talk “We should all be feminists” was sampled in a Beyonce song.

Since then the talk has been published as a book by Harper-Collins in 2014.

In a recent interview with Esquire Magazine the author has called Melania Trump “racist”.

Adichie spoke out at an event with the magazine, and a video has been posted by the magazine on their Twitter account.

The writer revealed her thoughts on the First Lady, after being asked: “Do you think Melania Trump’s a racist?”

She said: “Had you asked me this question yesterday, I would have said ‘yes’ and my evidence would be that she supported her husband when he was being incredibly racist about Barack Obama.”(continued)

The race card always gets dropped early.

Anyone who disagrees with leftist politics is a racist, by definition, in the mind of politically correct leftists.

That is how the author defines racism.

She starts by saying she though Melania was a racist because Melania supported her husband when Donald Trump asked for a copy of President Obama's birth certificate.

You might remember that the Senate asked John McCain for proof of citizenship, and it was immediately brought forth.

But merely asking for Obama to do the same, is labeled as "racist" by this Leftist.

I never form an opinion about ANYTHING until I see where Chimamanda falls on the matter.
(Uh, who?)

If your skin is white, you are - by the definition of the Left - a RACIST. Doesn’t matter what you say, do, or believe - simply the color of your skin makes you, by default, a racist. Did you not get the memo?

So someone who wrote on a decidedly not scientific subject, one which is highly subjective, is qualified to pronounce Melania Trump a racist? I haven’t seen such BS since I toured a farm’s corrals. I care about what this self-proclaimed “expert” stated as to what’s racist like I care about the chittering of the squirrels in the trees around here.

I know that is English because I understand some of the words but strung together that way they make no sense.

This headwear, designed for comfort in hot & humid conditions, is a not uncommon cover for USPS Postal Workers here in Florida. Absolute idiocy to project a social attribute from a practical piece of headwear and speaks more about the author than the subject.
