You say "The vast majority of our population is neither racist or bigoted."  But it's my opinion that we all carry prejudice within ourselves.  Skin color, race, sex, weight, age and so forth will always be factored in by person A when judging person B.  This is an unfortunate flaw of human nature.  As such, the important thing is for each of us to minimize the degree to which we pre judge others - and yes, I agree that the vast majority of our population does well in this regard.  Not so for the radical losers (such as the white supremacists) who use violence and coercion to further their hate philosophy.  Lastly, I didn't vote for Trump nor am I a fan, but his point is that it takes 2 to tango.  And there were cases where the anti hate group side instigated the violence.  Like it or not, hate speech is protected by our constitution, whereas violence against the hate speakers is a crime. Still, I agree that Trump's emphasis should have been mostly about our nations opposition to hate.
