Sally Kohn: Trump’s ‘Thin White Skin’ Keeps ‘Getting Pricked

‘That’s a little weird you’re so sensitive’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KOHN: "I’m glad Paris brought up a false narrative. I agree there is a false narrative here. The false narrative is about how we see racism in America today. So let’s be really clear about something, Thomas Jefferson when he wrote that all men should be created equal owned hundreds of African-American slaves. So we have always literally from our founding fathers and our founding documents, we have always embodied the exact tensions Paris is talking about. You can have black friends, you can have black coworkers and you can still participate in the unconscious or conscious belief of white racial superiority and that is our founding — that is our founding sin. I mean, here we are, we’re talking about Thanksgiving day, right, where we are literally celebrating the holiday by which white forebearers in this country came and kicked native American off of their land and slaughtered and pillaged them. Let’s face facts. The fact is that Donald Trump has a pattern of treating white supremacists with kid gloves and going after black people and black athletes with outrageous terms. You didn’t like what the guy said? All right, fine, attack him. That’s a little weird you’re so sensitive. You’re supposed to be the grown-up, you’re the president. But then you’ve got to call him Don King."
