CNBCs John Harwood Rips Trump and GOP For Child Migrant Policy: Its Appealing to White People Resisting Diversityby Aidan McLaughlin | 3:26 pm, June 16th, 2018
CNBCs John Harwood appeared on MSNBC Saturday morning and ripped President Donald Trump as well as the Republican Party for the current U.S. policy that separates child migrants from their families at the southern border.
We have a president who is not honest, who lacks a moral sense, who lacks empathy, Harwood said. And what he is trying to do is deflect blame for a policy that he has caused to happen.
Harwood, CNBCs editor at large, went on to argue that the GOP is appealing to white people who want to resist diversity in the United States. And to do it while leading a party whose core appeal right now is to white people about resisting cultural and economic changes in the country, that have made the country more diverse, he added. The immigration issue has been hot in our politics for more than ten years now. But President Trump has taken it to a level that George W. Bush would find unrecognizable.

And, finally, as we Mark the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's assassination, special correspondent Charlayne Hunter-Gault sat down with one of King's closest friends, artist and activist Harry Belafonte, in his home.

Charlayne Hunter-Gault:
OK.
So, what do you think it will take today to make his dream of the beloved community a reality?
Harry Belafonte:
Until white America begins or even decides to identify a moral course of history, I don't think anything is going to happen. I think America will self-destruct.
Charlayne Hunter-Gault:
But the civil rights movement was black and white together.
Harry Belafonte:
Yes.
Charlayne Hunter-Gault:
That's not the case anymore?
Harry Belafonte:
That's the case, but it's not the fact.
The case is that we have to fix it. The fact is that it's not fixable if white folks don't decide to change their course of conduct.
The only thing left for black people to do is to burn it down. We have been lynched. We have been murdered.
And, if you look around, never before in my 91 years of history as an American have I ever seen the nation more racially divisive than it is at this very moment, including the days of the Ku Klux Klan and the segregation laws of the South.
