donald trump has been a decade long experiment by Harvard to see if the new york times can call a US presidential candidate racist.

Of course I mean no general defense of the NYT's recent coverage, but this seems both true, and like they were communicating a concept bigger than racism. He believes it in the racist way AND the classist way. Bloodlines are also why he is "better" than other white people.

Trump is 1970s respectable NYC conservative racist. Jews do law and money but not leadership. Black men are great athletes but not scholars. Women don’t have to be only nurses … His ideas about exercise and medicine and science are all early 70s. It’s like he was frozen in time.

This is a study in gradations: can an undecided voter be racist (yes); can a state rep be racist (kinda, who gives a fuck about state representatives, the US can’t do federalism properly); can a federal representative be racist (no); can a presidential candidate be racist (of course not.)

I would say, questions defined here as his interest have proven that genetically, being a white man of privileged upbringing does NOT predispose one to success, but it does incline one to be a criminal.

Are we 100% sure it's not a VtM reference?
