This Old Donald Trump Tweet About "Black-ish" Went Viral During The Golden Globes

After Tracee Ellis Ross won for Best Actress in a TV Comedy, this Trump tweet was unearthed like the undead from a grave!

Tracee Ellis Ross won Best Actress in a TV Comedy at the Golden Globes for her role on the ABC comedy Black-ish, and dedicated her win to "women, women of color, and colorful people whose stories, ideas, thoughts are not always considered worthy and valid and important."


Proving that there might be an incendiary Donald Trump tweet for every occasion, Dave Itzkoff of the New York Times unearthed this one from Oct. 2014.

How is ABC Television allowed to have a show entitled "Blackish"? Can you imagine the furor of a show, "Whiteish"! Racism at highest level?


Itzkoff's tweet, "Never forget," has been retweeted more than 1,900 times, as of this writing. But some people had to be convinced it was real.
