That is pure fake news. You may not be intending to lie, but you're spreading them.
"To remove all doubt, the President continued with “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay?”"

I have no particular desire to take another step into the garbage fire that is America and its politics, but calling something fake news does not make it so.

Thank you, that article has the original transcript in full and shows that it is fake news - I quote directly from your link:
"And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly."

No he probabaly did not or these people weren't white supremacists. Racism to me is attributing characteristics to different races/ethnicities and value judgements of theae attributes. People like that exist, but they are a tiny minority.

Judging someone simply on his race. Simple example: refusing a job to someone because of this criterion. It doesn’t matter if Asian, Black, White or other, if the candidate is dismissed because of race, it’s racism.

So supporting an entrenched system of racism is not racism then? If so I can see why not much progress is being made.

He also achieved the highest black unemployment rating under his administration. That does not seem like something a racist would do. This is why no one is buying this narrative.
