There is a distinct difference. If you don't think that Mr. Trump is racist (just the least racist person you've ever met), fine. If you don't think that he deliberately chose racist people's open racism as the core of his fanbase by sitting atop the movement from 2011 on, fine. But please do not even try to belittle those who see it differently based on these instances.ns to drag it onto the political arena, including offering 5 million dollars, it was more than just the occasional mention. He rode that movement alright, that especially at the time he started doing it and afterwards mainly consisted of openly racist folk.

But Hollo, Trump assured us he was the "least racist person" ever. . . . EVER! 

Just firing up racial hatred to draw voters doesn't make Trump a racist--at least
to all those other Trump voters who really don't care whether he is or not.

And false equivalences like "Hillary did it first" make that Trump vote seem less like what it was--
a choice between a race-baiter and someone who wouldn't stoop to that.
