CNN's Jake Tapper reacts to President Trump taking offense to a question about nationalism and white nationalism at his post-midterm election press conference on Wednesday. PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, the reporter who asked the question, is a black woman. Tapper said it "boggles the mind" that Trump could believe that a black woman could be racist.

JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: "...The word ('nationalist') has baggage. A lot of people have not used the word...If you want to make the argument, make the argument.
The idea that any reporter asking that question, in particular an African-American woman is asking a racist question just boggles the mind. I mean, it is a perfectly legitimate question …
But no one should be surprised because this is how the president does that. You challenge him, he attacks you harder and that's what this press conference was all about. And I feel threatened, therefore I'm going to threaten everybody here.

Jake, come to Detroit.
Hate from blacks here will end your life.
Get out your car Jake and take a walk.
How does it boggle the mind to believe a Black woman can be racially prejudiced or bigoted? Prejudice may not be a good thing but it is a peculiarly human foible. Is Tapper saying that Black women aren't human?
Are they automatically imputed with sainthood because their ancestors were slaves.
100% agree.
Those who would bind the world's nations into some contrived "new world order," have long sought to undermine patriotism & continuity among the world's peoples. Our would be domestic Quislings are a prime example:
I don’t know if he is delusional, or he’s in denial.
One or the other. Because no one could be that ignorant.

Has Tapper EVER listened to Whoopi Goldberg for more than 41 seconds????????
Of course a black person can be racist.
But that is NOT what happened. I watched that press conference.
Their minds will continue to be boggled unless, and until, they understand what the definition of the word ‘racist’ is.
And there is nothing wrong with saying you’re a ‘nationalist’.
They are the ones who made an issue out of the term by adding ‘white’ to it. The president did not do that.
No, it’s deliberate propaganda. They want to associate patriotism with racism. How else do they finish their job of ending American sovereignty, eliminating national borders, and taking all power away from the American people they so look down on? They have to make seeing yourself as an American first rather than a citizen of the world into an evil thing or they won’t be able to accomplish their globalist, Cultural Marxist, power-seeking political goals.
Wanna bet that if a Black women happened to be a Trump supporter or a conservative (thinking Candace Owens here), Tapper wouldn’t defend her against the charge of racism.
Exactly.
It could have been that widow-peaked Negro woman, April something or other.
Tapper obviously doesn’t get around. I can click of several notable black racist: Obama, Sharpton, Holder, Farakhan and I know many personally. They hate white people, Hispanics and even blacks of a lighter skin color.
The question was racist and the person asking it had to have a racial motivation to ask it.
Someone tell Ass Tapper that the president said the question was racist.
Nationalist?! Niga, Please!

According to the Oxford English Dictionary (online at https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/racist ), the word "racist" means:
"A person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another."
I did not notice any exception in that definition for females, nor for blacks, let alone someone who is both female and black. Hence, I believe that a black woman CAN BE (but isn't necessarily) a racist.
Or, to simplify my response, Jake Tapper has once again proven that calling him a horse's ass is a grave insult to horse's asses around the world.
