However, some of us understand that rhetoric is a powerful device especially from someone with a powerful persona. Hence the concern.

I won't discount that. However, the claim that "this is racism" is a narrative designed by the leftist MSM, social media left wing gestapo types, and never Trump RINOs to get votes for Democrats. But honestly, what voters were alienated in this process that would have voted for Trump? I have no issue with him dividing the Democrats by calling out their lunacy. At this point though, I wish that he would have been more direct. I guess ambiguity can work to his advantage in the long haul.
As for his sentiments, he isn't wrong imho, regardless of the origin, background, or skin tone of those that claim to be progressive.
