Donald Trump thinks ABC’s new hit comedy Black-ish is racist, mainly because of the show’s title.
This morning, Trump turned to Twitter to express his outrage at ABC for allowing Black-ish to be on TV.
“How is ABC Television allowed to have a show entitled ‘Blackish’? Can you imagine the furor of a show, ‘Whiteish’! Racism at highest level?”
