I am the least racist person there is.  And I think most people who know me would tell you that. I am the least racist, I’ve had great relationships.”

If he’s “the least”…God help us all.

So then…

If you follow Donnie’s logic…because he has great relationships (in his mind) with “The Blacks,” ergo he’s not racist.  Also, because an African-American won his reality TV show, that too is proof he’s not racist.
