Case in point: Trump’s questioning of Kamala Harris’s race in an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on Wednesday. They were racist in that Trump was questioning the entire biracial experience. They were racist just like Trump’s early “birther” attacks on Barack Obama, born of Trump’s refusal to abide a Black man as president. It at least put Trump’s remarks in recent historical context:Trump’s comments Wednesday did not come in a vacuum; he has been stepping up his attacks on Harris’s identity. But a lot of people understand it.”I liked how CNN.com handled the story Wednesday afternoon with the headline “Trump goes on rant questioning Harris’ race”.
