Donald Trump's Hatemongering Moves on to African-Americans Kevin Drum Feed \| Mother Jones by Kevin Drum Having already played the hate card against Mexicans and Muslims—and getting crackerjack results—Donald Trump has apparently decided to move on to African-Americans. I don't know what the "Crime Statistics Bureau" in San Francisco is, and I don't think I want to know, but one of the most well-established facts about murder in the United States is that it's pretty racially segregated. Whites kill whites, blacks kill blacks, etc. But today Trump decided to tweet the CSB graphic on the right, for no readily apparent reason. And wouldn't you know it: it contains a wee racial error. In 2014, which is the latest full-year homicide data available from the FBI, 82 percent of whites were killed by other whites and 15 percent were killed by blacks. Trump's tweeted graphic gets this backward—but only for white victims. And just in case the numbers are too subtle for you, it includes a stereotypical black thug to make sure you get the picture. Donald Trump has found his audience, and he knows what they want. So he's giving it to them.
