She also had enough sense not confirm or deny Trump’s use of the “N” word. The back and forth between the press secretary and reporters was in response to Trump calling Omarosa a “dog” in a tweet and his constant racist comments towards minorities.

Trump Revokes Obama Guidance on Race in School Admissions

Eric Tucker, Associated PressJuly 5, 2018

White leadership downplays the primacy of race, but maintains race-based power under the mythical guise of America as a melting pot. And for many Blacks, minimizing race is part of a long- misguided attempt to assimilate
