After letting Trump ride on lunacy for a few weeks, the media finally decides to fact check Trump. Make no mistake, birtherism is veiled racism. Birtherism was invented by people who have yet to reckon with the fact that a black person can be president. Some birthers may not even feel the least bit racist, which is exactly why birtherism was invented, so that birthers could claim that Obama is an illegitimate president without acknowledging bigotry in their heart. It's Psych 101 folks. The media shamefully has played along.
