Donald Trump: Candidate called a racist on Saturday Night Live TV
 
BBC News Article:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34759190

Video of the 'incident':


In short:

The group, Deport Racism had offered a "bounty" of $5,000 to anyone who heckled Trump during the show by calling him a racist.

US comedian Larry David took it upon himself to shout "you're a racist" during Trump's opening monologue, in what looks to me like a skit that had been staged beforehand.

Firstly, why do 'Deport Racism' think that yelling a word at someone on a TV show is going to solve any problems? Is this the best way to tackle racism? How about going into schools? Working on improving race relations? I think it's obviously a good cause but they're misguided.

Secondly, watch the video. This isn't making a joke out of Trump as the BBC article suggests, it's making a joke out of the word 'Racist'. Another step towards rendering the term meaningless?

It looks more like they're mocking this group who are offering money to shout it tbh.

Yep it's staged, Trump is secure in the knowledge that he is racist, he accepts and embraces it... and soon Americans will too.
