I just saw an article that asks if President Trump's attacks on Omarosa are racist. The reporter raises the question and then says that "some experts say" that the attacks are, indeed, racist. This is nothing but Fake News.
Omarosa is black. We all get that. Calling her out for her misconduct, however, is not racist just because she's black. Taping conversations in the Situation Room is illegal no matter what race one is. Likewise, secretly taping conversations with ones work colleagues is pretty scummy no matter what race one is. Shameless self promotion is still shameless self promotion no matter what race one is. Calling all that out is not racist, no matter what some unnamed "experts" say.
And by the way, when did we develop a cadre of experts who tell us when something is racist? Can't most people tell what is racist from what is not racist, anyway? I sure think that we can manage that.
