As he tried to save his campaign, Donald Trump smeared African-Americans with a new racist attack.

Trump said, “We’re going to take care of our inner cities which are absolutely a shame and so sad. We’re going to take care of our African-American people which have been mistreated for so long.”

Donald Trump was reading from a teleprompter, and he still couldn’t resist slipping in a bit of racism towards African-Americans. Republicans told themselves that the problem with Trump was that he was unscripted, so they scripted him, and their nominee was still a racist.

Trump’s line about African-Americans echoed his behavior recently on the campaign trail when he blurted out in the middle of a rally, “Look at my African-American.”

What Trump doesn’t understand is that African-Americans aren’t property. The United States doesn’t own African-Americans. African-Americans are not “ours,” and somebody may want to let the racist presumptive nominee that all African-Americans don’t live in inner cities.

A speech that was supposed to reboot Trump’s campaign after a week of racism has nearly destroyed it confirmed that the Republican Party has nominated a racist who can’t stop dividing the country.

Donald Trump can’t stop being racist because he is a racist. It doesn’t matter if Trump has a teleprompter or not, he continues to alienate voters with racist language.
