Ask creative people where they get their ideas, and they will roll their eyes. It's the most common question, but it's also a bad one because the answer is inevitably disappointing.

I think there are a good many Donald Trump voters who are sick of government as it is practiced in America and genuinely want to blow up the system and see what happens. They are stupid - or at least unwise - but not necessarily racist.

My neighborhood is fairly white, yet the local middle school is all black. It is bad. It is very bad.

It is not a coincidence that Donald Trump has attracted white supremacists.
