323. "When you're a [racist] they let you do it"

from The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo · host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga

Remember when #trump said to Billy Bush that he could do whatever he wants to women because "When you're a star they let you do it." As I think as to why Trump continues to grow his authoritative ways as he tanks the economy, the only thing that comes to mind is that when you're racist, they let you get away with it. What do you think, especially in light of Senator Eric Schmidt's speech at #natcon5?
