If liberals are the cornerstone of anti-racism and seeing how they are reacting to this incident, essentially trivializing it, Republicans are probably set for their next election.

It's not racism it's just using the word nigger in a joke.  There's no implication that the black race are inferior in the joke.  

If Donald Trump had made the joke the outraged people would be defending and the defending people would be outraged.  It's like a sports game in that way.

And as others have said.  The comment was aimed at himself.  Republicans are so starved for situations that they can claim to be taking the moral high ground that they'll use any out of context opportunity.  I'm sure they thought Ted Nugent was "just being Ted" when he made his Obama comments in 2012.
