2. I was struck by the delusion that trumps well established racism could ever be looked past

Asked why the Trump administration has been touting black unemployment specifically in recent weeks when the numbers continue to show that unemployment is still disproportionately higher, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded: “because they’re better than what they have been.” “This is a president who wants life to be better for all Americans and he's going to keep fighting and pushing for that,” she added. “And I think you'll hear him talk again about that tomorrow night.”
Pressed on why most black Americans still view Trump negatively, Sanders said, “We hope and pray to build a greater relationship within that community.”

This strikes me as the belief that economic issues will be able to end racism, while trump still sppeals and whistles to Nazis & racists &
white supremacists.
