Hillary lost in part because black people weren’t motivated enough to go to the ballot box.

It wasn't a "they do it too." Nothing about his original tweets were racist if you bother to read them instead of selecting a phrase here and there. If he just said "They need to go back to their countries because we don't like their kind here", then yeah, racist. He said they should go back and fix their own countries... What exactly is racist about that? I know that the statement isn't entirely accurate since 3 of the 4 congresswomen were born here, but his point was to bait the media into this because he knows his supporters are sick and tired of liberals and the media constantly crying "RACIST!!!" in objection to everything. They took the bait, Trump wins.
I do think he should have just kept letting the Dems fight among each other, but Trumps gonna do whatever he wants.

Bigotry is a bad look. But Trump does it because he knows it will get the pitchfork crowd riled up. He likes to incite the angry mob to threaten his critics.

And suggesting that American citizens “need to go back” is another example of intolerance/bigotry.

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.

Just like I said, picking out a phrase without the context is disingenuous.
What is intolerant about telling someone to go fix their former (or family's former) country, and how is that bigotry?

Haha ok. So what was intolerant about his actions?

Why in the world would you tell a citizen to go back to the country of their ancestors and fix it? Freaking idiotic. Wtf is wrong with you people?

I agree but a few of these newer posters remind me of him trying to troll.
