I really don't believe Trump made it 'easier'...

...the ilk of a racist is such that it doesn't matter who the President is or will be. The above link is absolutely disgraceful.
The mayor of Clay, West Virginia, resigned her position Tuesday after seemingly approving of a colleague’s comment on Facebook that referred to Michelle Obama as an “Ape in heels.”
The original post was made Monday by Pamela Ramsey Taylor, director of the Clay County Development Corp., who was opining on the transition from Mrs. Obama to Melania Trump as first lady.
“It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady back in the White House,” Taylor wrote. “I’m tired of seeing a Ape in heels.”
According to WSAZ-TV, Mayor Beverly Whaling then replied, “Just made my day Pam.”

The story went viral, and both women removed their comments as well as their Facebook pages as claims of racism flooded the town. More than 150,000 people signed an Internet petition pushing for Whaling to be fired.
Whaling has since issued a statement to the media, saying:
“My comment was not intended to be racist at all. I was referring to my day being made for change in the White House! I am truly sorry for any hard feeling this may have caused! Those who know me know that I’m not of any way racist!”
“Again, I would like to apologize for this getting out of hand!”
I love it how she denies she is not a racist.
It amazes me how people continue to deny they are racist, or what they did was not racist, just misunderstood.
