Trump And Race 2020
The one thing I have noticed — I was at two conservative
conferences over the past month. And they were pretty Trumpy,
I guess. And they were 95 and 99 and maybe 100 percent white.
And so, if you're conservative worlds, you're just not around minorities
anymore. You're not around people of color. And then you say, well,
shouldn't you get some people of color on stage just to hear viewpoints?
And they say, well, we don't want — like, I don't see color.
And if you're living in this country, with the culture of this country and
the history of this country, you have got to see color. And you have got
to affirmatively try to get different people in the same room. And it's
just become a habit on the right to not care about that. And this wasn't
always the case. And this is how Trump is influencing the party, and,
frankly, how the party is influencing Trump. In the world — in the age
of the Bushes, in the age of Jack Kemp, there was really aggressive
efforts to try to diversify the party, with some success.
And now that's not even tried. And it's not only Trump.
It's up and down the whole apparatus.
