Trump said that landmark civil rights protections ushered in during the 1960s have resulted in white people being treated “very badly.”
The president was interviewed by The New York Times last week and was asked whether he believed civil rights protections that began in the 1960s with the passage of the Civil Rights Act “resulted ultimately in the discrimination against white men.”
Derrick Johnson, president of the NAACP, the country’s oldest civil rights organization, blasted Trump’s comments in a statement to The Times.
Johnson said there was “no evidence that white men were discriminated against as a result of the civil rights movement, the Civil Rights Act, and efforts to rectify the long history of this country denying access to people based on race in every measurable category.”
