--Trump once referred to a Hispanic Miss Universe as “Miss Housekeeping.”
--At a June 2016 campaign rally, Trump pointed to one attendee and said: “Oh, look at my African-American over here. Look at him.”

--In June 2017, Trump said 15,000 recent immigrants from Haiti “all have AIDS” and that 40,000 Nigerians, once seeing the United States, would never “go back to their huts” in Africa.
--Trump treated black employees at his casinos differently from whites, according to multiple sources. A former hotel executive said Trump criticized a black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks.”
--Trump’s real-estate company tried to avoid renting apartments to African-Americans in the 1970s and gave preferential treatment to whites, according to the federal government.

all of these are either fake news of misunderstandings i'm sure
We all have prejudices of some sort -- it was an instinct honed over eons to allow us to survive and ultimately evolve. Anyone who doesn't believe that is lying to themselves.
Most, if not all, of the examples given above aren't indictive of racism, but rather someone operating without a filter who is sharing his view of the world, foolishly.
no doubt that everyone is racially biased, which is perfectly natural. (not saying it's ideal, but is a byproduct of being human.)
i can also buy the argument that trump is just more racially insensitive than most and is also literally retarded, so he sounds racist, but he's not. not saying i agree, but i get that viewpoint.
what i don't buy is the argument that "trump's not actively trying to racially divide the country" or that "trump's not actively soliciting white nationalist support." those positions are just ridiculous. he may be a retard but he knows what he's doing in this respect. it's not that he's just racially insensitive, he's deliberately trying to stoke racial resentment. his rhetoric is even more damaging to the country than if he was racist
all of this is a shame for me personally, cause most dem candidates are so cringeworthy that i'm looking for a reason to vote against them
that being said, if i see any more democratic candidates list their "preferred pronouns" on their twitter profiles, i'll actually start campaigning for trump, so there's that.
Oh, I'm not saying he isn't stoking the fire with his verbiage. But to be clear, the other side is doing the same thing. It has always been this way. We are pitted against each other from the cradle to the grave. Where we are born, the schools we get to go to, the doctors we get to see, the taxes we pay or don't pay, the takers vs. payors, etc. Recognizing the differences in the folks in the different camps doesn't make you a racist, it makes you observant. Speaking your mind on the subject is now taboo. Ask yourself why that is?
Anyway, the reality is we are becoming even more tribal. And make no mistake, diversity is not our strength. It's just a trite platitude. Some people can't handle the truth and it causes them cognitive dissonance. Just ask Duped Faggot.
"International banks" does not equal "Jews". Once again, a huge leap in order to make Trump look like an anti-Semite. Why would Trump be so close with Jared Kushner and Ivanka if he hates Jews so much?
Regarding the Nigeria stuff, that's just a typical Trump thing. He hears two facts -- that the AIDS rate is much higher in Africa and that countries like Nigeria have a lot of primitive living conditions -- and he ends up exaggerating them and saying stupid things. But that's directed at Nigeria the country, and not black people as a race.
The avoidance of renting apartments to blacks has been common practice in upscale areas for many decades -- not due to racism, but due to financial greed. Usually this occurs when it is assumed that renting to blacks will make the property less appealing to prospective or current tenants of other races. Often it's a response to the racism of the existing/potential residents, and not an actual hatred of black people. I'm not defending this practice, and I think it's wrong and unfair (and illegal), but I'm stating that if an all-black complex made more money than a complex with no blacks, they would be discriminating against whites in the same fashion! (To a lesser degree, people of all races with kids were also discriminated against in such places, but they're not a protected class.)
Anyway, these are just indicators of mild prejudices, ignorance, and stupid statements, rather than any clear example of racism.
i don't understand you here.
are you saying he might be racist, but who knows? or are you saying he's not racist. cause you're now asking for "clear examples of racism." (note you omitted the example of trump blaming black accountants' laziness on their inferior race.)
it sounds like you are of the drk_star school of thought where only actually using racial epithets = proof of racism.
also why is trump's conduct acceptable for you? he may not be racist, but even you would have to admit he deliberately courts the white nationalist vote and stokes racial tension for his perceived electoral advantage.
isn't that just as bad (and i would argue, far worse) than if he was racist?

/thread. Todd wins. ppl use the race card to be scamming trash thanks to a bunch of cucks who can't call them out
Have you heard of Levittown. The first major U.S.suburb designed to get whites out of the city and avoid integration with the lesser groups. Well it worked until one day owners of one of these cookie cutter homes sold to a black family which led to riots by the neighbours. Cross burnings racial slurs riot police etc. But this was an upwardly mobile family who could well afford to live there. Nothing separated them from their neighbours except the colour of their skin. Check it out on Youtube.
So your argument about greed/not being able to pay is wrong. You're a racist society to this day
and to think Trump might not be racist brings into account your intelligibilty
Druff, pat yourself on the back for an excellent job rallying good folks to defend against discrimination and bigotry in America with this highly informative thread.
P.S. I never would have considered donating to her reelction campaign if but you bringing attention to this matter. Well done, sir!
