“Even if a candidate like Donald Trump was telling the truth about the conditions in some impoverished communities of color, it’s hard to receive it because he has been so flat-out disrespectful and inconsiderate of African Americans and people of color and their contributions to this country,” Wilkerson said. “The truth falls on deaf ears when you lack integrity.”
