4:58Now PlayingTwo community leaders from Baltimore speak out against Trump's recent barrage of racist tweets in his criticisms of Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings. In the tweetstorm, Trump called the city of Baltimore a "rodent-infested mess" where "no human" would want to live. Dayvon Love, director of public policy for Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle, and Kaye Wise Whitehead, local radio host and professor at Loyola University Maryland, point out that Trump's comments are nothing new. "It goes back to a time of slavery," says Whitehead. "That is how Black people have been categorized in this country. That is at the root and heart of white supremacy and white nationalism."
