We shouldn't expect anything from Trump, though. After all, Shaw acted heroically while being black. In Trump's eyes, and the eyes of his white nationalist, kkk and nazi supporters, that is everything.

And you know, as a white man, I'm pretty sorry about that. It is shameful, and I'm sorry people of color have to live with this shit every day.
