Regarding: ""I can say 1,000 percent our president is not a racist.""
- Racism is a sin not easily claimed as one's own.
- Members of congress during the Presidency of our Kenyan-Irish American made decisions or took stands that in retrospect appeared coloured by racism -- though not one of them will own up to this.
- Indeed our current AG 'I am not a racist' Sessions makes decisions that are retrograde.
- It is indeed possible that Mr. Trump and the company that he keeps see themselves as fair, decent people who treat everyone with the same courtesy, honesty, and fairness. 
- Alas, the proof of this is in the footprints that are left as such as AGSessions or PResTrump go through their days making decisions that are at best unhelpful, and at worse not life affirming for large groups of people -- wait for it - are identifiable by skin tone, or hair texture, or preferred habits of clothing. To be fair, racists acts could map to profound ignorance and not malice.
