But people of color get a free pass to vandalize property, riot, and attack Trump supporters?

Did I say that? Might want to re-read my post.  

Besides, it's still on him because he's pushed his supporters one way catalysing social divisions in ways politicians haven't done in America for generations whilst pissing off a number of minorities. If you condone violence against one group then you can expect them to retaliate and the violence to increase. Hate and race crime is likely to rise irrespective of the victims and his speeches have simply escalated these issues further. 

Either way you look at it, as a politician, he needs to be held to account for the shit he says. I really wish people would stop giving our politicians a free pass and actually start holding them to account for a change. 

This exactly! people are acting like we are saying that Trump birthed racism, most of us are saying that the man simply brought the match, stood back and watched the frenzy... Which is exactly what he did under the guise of Mexicans are taking our jobs, Mexicans are rapists, I'll build the best most amazing wall and let's deport millions of immigrants! Comments like that definitely sound unifying for the country right?/s... 

I don't understand some people today and really believe that if a person has never had their own experience of racial discrimination, then it's virtually impossible to know what another person is going through that has.
