That's a picture of John Lewis, not Elijah Cummings? That's what I'm babbling about. Are 'they' all really that hard to distinguish for you guys? You're really that stereotypical?

My next oldest brother and I apparently favor one another. I did a wedding years ago for my sister where he was an usher - we were both similarly dressed. Lots of people were at the wedding who hadn't seen us in some time. People were constantly coming up to me asking me "how's live in the Marine Corps" -- at first, I tried to explain that was my brother's deal, but finally came to just say "It's great!"

At the point (the wedding have started in earnest) my brother was ushering my mother into the wedding, I was standing ready to receive the bride and groom, and one of my nephews shouted "LOOK, MOMMA - TWO UNCLE COW POKES!!!!!" There was quite a bit of laughter.

Me and my younger brother (14 years younger) look like clones separated by time. We constantly joke that we are the result of some strange science experiment. We even have the same mannerisms and sense of humor.

Emphasis mine.

There could be a slight irony to that:

Maybe social science has got it the wrong way round: it was the sight of a mixed race man in the White House who brought out in the inner racist in Americans who are inclined towards those feelings, while the reassuring sight of white man back in the Oval Office has calmed them down. https://spectator.us/racist-incidents-down-trump/

Another interesting take that Breitbart did not pay to much attention to:

And here is from the conclusion of the study itself:

As a political leader, Donald Trump has used racist rhetoric to build political support.

So no suggestion that he does not use racism. The study clearly says so. It only questions whether it actually works.

It depends on how you define "racism". The majority of liberals believe that any sort of criticism of a minority person is inherently racist.

And with regards to things that really matter, Trump as president has done far more for minorities than any Democrat ever has.

As the saying goes, if Trump is a racist, he's really bad at it.
