By harassing @Acosta for simply doing his job & deeming him as the 'enemy of the people', President Trump is engaging in a calculated effort of putting a target on this journalist’s back.

If you're frantically trying to book a contributor of color on a show — that's a problem
If you're suddenly wishing a black or Afro-Latino/a journalist was on staff for advice — that's a problem
If you're relying on a colleague of color to educate you on systemic racism — stop.
