Excellent article, but it is a bit long and won't fit on a bumper sticker, and the Washington Post is certainly not going to reproduce it in it's entirety.

But just pretending to be MSNBC for a few minutes, here is what I was able to garner, using words straight from the linked text:

Quote

Donald Trump is more racist than any past Republican candidate

and

Quote

is a candidate who hates black people

How's that for my MSM impersonation?  You can check, those were direct quotes from the article! >:(

This is a really good article.  The guy is a blogger and presenting his opinion, but it is better researched and backed by more referenced facts than any "news" article that I have read in recent memory.  Additionally, he did not like his conclusion, but it was the only logical one that could be reached.  If I were a news editor, I would hire this guy as a researcher and writer.
