       @futurebird Could you imagine if there were a national registry where you could add yourself and it would legally require all businesses involved in gambling to bar you from participating, and bar all targeted ad companies to from showing you gambling ads?  I'm not even particularly susceptible to gambling (vs achievement chasing and other gamification tools) and I'd sign up in a heartbeat.@mynameistillian

       @futurebird I suspect that a factor in this is that covertly racist whites don't have a problem with the racism of either of these, but were scandalized by how uncouth the ape video was.  Targeting low status Haitian immigrants: classy.  Targeting a former POTUS and First Lady: not classy.  They see the Obamas as having proven themselves as "civilized", and Trump is debasing himself because he can't control himself when the topic of Obama comes up.
