Donald trump actually wanted a black vs. White apprenticeâ 

by HAILEY WALLACE May 20, 2016 ------------------------- On Thursday Buzzfeed’s McKay Coppins reminded everyone about that time Donald Trump thought it would be a good idea TO HAVE AN ENTIRE

SEASON OF _THE APPRENTICE_ dedicated to assessing the superiority of two racially segregated teams of  black and white professionals. As flagged by Coppins, Trump announced the idea of

pitting two races against each other on his radio show in July of 2005. ”To be honest, I wasn’t particularly happy with the most recent season. So this time around, I wanted to do the

casting myself,” Trump said. The Republican party’s presidential nominee then proceeded to share that he had recently had ”an idea that is fairly controversial — creating a team of

successful African-Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world.” Apparently Trump had also

mentioned his plan, which Slate appropriately dubbed “a literal battle of the races,” on the Howard Stern show. At the time, Trump acknowledged that ”not everybody thinks it’s a good

idea.” Last month a group of former _Apprentice_ contestants made headlines when they convened in New York city to speak out against Trump’s presidential bid. Dr. Randal Pinkett, the only

person of color to ever win _The Apprentice_, was in attendance. “We acknowledge Donald’s success as a businessman, and genuinely appreciate the opportunity _The Apprentice_ afforded all of

us,” said Dr. Pinkett. “We, however, strongly condemn Donald’s campaign of sexism, xenophobia, racism, violence and hate.”
