“Donald Trump chose to come through a 75 percent black city and campaign when he’s been making all these disparaging remarks about black people, about Latino people”, said Southall.
Southall reportedly shouted “black lives matter” and “dump Trump” in an attempt to disrupt Trump’s speech.
“I don’t care”, Trump added, while saying he wouldn’t let a protester take over his speech – unlike his Democratic rival aspirant Bernie Sanders who tried to be too “politically correct” when it comes to Black Lives Matter. The Daily News reported that Trump yelled, “Get him the hell out of here!”

Donald Trump proclaimed himself to be the “least racist person on Earth” on Monday, a day after posting what critics said was the most racist tweet on the Internet. Southall also claims that the police officers did not offer him medical attention.
“They were too busy trying to get me the f**k out of there”. I’m going to protect them at the borders. “Birmingham is 75 percent black, so why did he choose to come here, ” Southall said.

Later, Trump spoke on ABC’s This Week and said that if he were elected he would bring back waterboarding as an interrogation technique for suspected terrorists.
