President Donald Trump who regularity makes a point of personally insulting public figures , taps into an especially toxic well of vitriol when aiming his attacks at black Americans. In a post election press conference , when Yamiche Alcindor of "PBS NewsHour" began to ask about accusations that may have emboldened violent white nationalistic groups , Trump interrupted with, " I don't know why you say that. That is such a racist question." Three gifted , accomplished professional African American women, will be covering politics long after Trump has left the white house . They come together with many journalist, athletes ,entertainers and politicians who Trump routinely calls "dumb" . He is a classic example of a backlash politician : a leader who exploits real or perceived white anxieties by exhibiting a flamboyant hostility to the political and economic demands of black Americans.
This article was published by CNN news on November 11, 2018 and written by Errol Louis , CNN political commentator . I've had prior knowledge about this topic , unfortunately all I see is Trump calling reporters or just people "dumb" which in my opinion they probably have more education than him . I strongly disagree with his actions, he makes himself look really bad. This started from the years of slavery , thinking that African Americans are worth less and treated the worst , aka, racism. This article is mainly written for the people of color who have faced this kind of issues and want them to stop and for those reporters and journalist especially that have through this. The author is a man of color himself , who has had enough seeing the president of the United States behave this kind of way. This article is important , it becomes an eye opener to many people and realize what many reporters have to go through . Hopefully more people get together and cover politics long after Trumps leaves the white house , and stand together.

Disappointed but not surprised at this point. This is disgusting.
