The campaign to bar presidential hopeful Donald Trump from hosting NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” on Nov. 7 took another step Thursday, with the launch of racismisntfunny.com. The website comes one day after Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez, D-Ill., stood on the House floor next to a black poster with bold white letters that read: #RacismIsntFunny.
