It is racist. If being president is no safeguard against racism, how is it for ordinary black folk?
Of course these prominent racists like Giuliani are not overt about their racism. Some like

First, congratulations to the New England Patriots – Super Bowl XLIX Champions. What a win! I’m thrilled for my home team, for Boston and for the state of Massachusetts. I’ve been following the Patriots and the numerous stories leading up to the Super Bowl, but not for the reasons you may think. I’m not a die-hard football fan. Sorry, please save the hate mail (LOL).
