Sure, everyone is

I don't think he cares about anyone but himself, so probably.

No, although he's frequently politically incorrect.
---

Its a fact that he is overtly racist. He has been for far longer than he has been in politics.

for fucks sake the guy still thinks the Central Park five should face the death penalty despite them all being exonerated and the actual perpetrator confessing to the crime

I don't wanna be racist any more if everyone else is doing it

Everyone has some level of thoughts or opinions from time to time that can be seen as racist

but thats a lot different than embracing racist notions and acting on them

---

Yes, absolutely.

Someone should post some clips. Should be easy to find!

I was racist before it was cool

Technically everyone is racist. But I don't believe he is racist to the extent that the media portrays him as.

He only became so terribly and blatantly racist once he president? I don't think so

Anyone that knows anything about the man at all knows that he has been undeniably racist for his entire adult life

from the way he dealt targeted negative treatment toward nonwhite tenants in his buildings to his full page ad in the NYT calling for the execution of the Central Park five who were minors at the time, or even just the way he said that America needs to embrace hatred in order to be strong

---

Extremely.
---

I mean, what does belief have to do with it? He is racist.
---

Well, to clarify...

If racism is a scale from 0 to 100 and to be a racist all you need is 1 point on that scale, then everyone is a racist...

...I'd put trump at about a 45. Non-malicious, but lacking self-censorship.

No. Racism is just a word that dems use to silence people

More misinformation from Mead. It's been pretty well-established that Fred Trump, his father who was sighted at KKK rallies and had the final say in operations, was behind those decisions

Mead posted...

to his full page ad in the NYT calling for the execution of the Central Park five who were minors at the time,

...which you're arguing was based on race because...? Simply because the accused were black? Because it was a horrific crime that made headlines at the time and stirred outrage. If five white kids were accused of doing it, you'd *still* have outrage and calls for the death penalty.

Yes.

The term "racism" has lost all meaning, and it really means "someone who isn't me" according to Progressives.

You mean the only KKK rally he was sighted at was going on the street just TWO blocks away from his home, and wanted to know what the hell was going on, without knowing what was happening to begin with?

I think he just says racist things to rally his base/distract his haters from real issues
---

I think for DT there are 2 types of people
1)People that can benefit him (money,pleasure)
2)everyone else.

Race doesn't matter as long as you're making him happy
---

He's racist. Terms he uses when attacking white people are different than those he uses to attack not white people.

Unequivocally, given his total lack of verbal filters.
---

If it walks like a racist and it talks like a racist, it's a racist.

They used to brand people with scarlet Rs for racism back in Salem.

At what point does his reasoning stop mattering? Like if a serial killer only kills sex offenders is he no longer a serial killer?

He doesn't care if he hurts any specific race with his actions, which is not the same as being racist.

He's literally said many of the same things to people of all races.

To the contrary, his lack of filters prove he's NOT racist. If more horrible things existed in his mind, they would have certainly come out of his mouth by now.

Not even a little. The real problem are the freaks to take offense to every damn thing anyone says. It wasn't this bad years ago, people used to have thicker skin. Now it's an embarrassment to see what things have become.
---

Of course he is. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that now is in willful denial. Just off the top of my head...

-He called African countries "shitholes" and said he wanted more immigration from Norway
-He was found guilty of discrimination in his treatment of black applicants/tenants at his housing properties
-He told four elected Congresswomen, all of whom are American citizens and all but one of whom were born and raised in the United States and have never lived elsewhere, to "go back to where they came from"
-He opened his campaign claiming that the immigrants crossing the border from Mexico were a collection of rapists and murderers, before tepidly adding "and some, I assume, are good people", implying he's never actually met a Mexican who meets his definition of "a good person"
-He claimed that an American born-and-raised Hispanic judge could not give impartial judgement on a case Trump was party to because of his "Mexican heritage"
-He called immigrants animals (and Zeus himself told some people on this board that calling people animals is racist, so that should tell you something)

Again, that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure someone can and has created a more comprehensive list.

At this point, there really is no reasonable argument against him being racist. Try and explain it away all you like, but it all rings hollow when you look at what Trump's said and done. There's a racist in the White House and that's pretty much all there is to say.

So you arent allowed to call countries shitholes even if they are. I'm sure a lot of people from those countries that have emigrated here would say the same

-He was found guilty of discrimination in his treatment of black applicants/tenants at his housing properties

Havent looked into the case in detail but I would imagine he wasnt that directly hands on with leases or tenants. That would probably be more of a think with the folks working under him taking the applications and actually running the properties

This one I can see and dont agree with his comments but it's probably more of a sense of frustration at them for constantly talking about how horrible america is and lashing out at him personally. Still, as the president he needs to be above that

Ahhh the favorite go to. He was referring to there being a significant drug and sex trafficking problem that is crossing the border back and forth without any repercussion but the media framed it as him saying that every mexican is a rapist

darkknight109 posted...

-He claimed that an American born-and-raised Hispanic judge could not give impartial judgement on a case Trump was party to because of his "Mexican heritage"

Honestly, I would be paranoid too if the media had been bombarding the public with articles saying I was racist toward mexicans. I'd probably assume that a lot of Mexicans wouldnt like me

darkknight109 posted...

Pretty sure you're talking about his comments about MS-13 and if you object to them being called animals then wtf bro

Uhh, yes? He tells US born politicians to "go back to their own countries", implying brown people aren't truly American.

Why even bother going on about his position on illegal immigration? The answer is right there. A non-racist could be anti-immigration in the interest of keeping low wage jobs plentiful, a non-racist could be anti-Muslim, because Muslim is not really a race, and he could be really paranoid about security involving a prejudice against a demographic of people the stereotypically hate the US, but he's just a racist on top of those things. It's pretty apparent that he has a bias that leans him towards those policies.

It's the US so you're absolutely entitled to be wrong. His point was those 4 are brats who can't do their job, at all. If you're going to complain about your country that much, you don't need to be here. But here's the thing - because they're incapable of doing their job they keep playing the race card to gain pity points. Nobody cares about where they came from or their physical features. Stop using it as a crutch.

So they don't belong here, but the people worshiping a fascist racist in the land of the free do?
