An NAACP award that had nothing to do with him being a racist or not:

> Trump was among the first group of Americans to be given the award, which recognized people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds who have made significant contributions to the country, Otto Coca, communications director for the Ellis Island Honors Society told The Associated Press Monday. But Trump was honored for his work as a successful developer in New York City and his German heritage, Coca said, not for helping inner city youth.

What does that have to do with it? Why would they give an award, or any recognition, to a racist? So you have to help inner city youth to not be a racist?

Why would the NAACP give a racist anything?

EIHS seems to be unaffiliated with the NAACP.
