(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/17/politics/black-voters-trump-poll/index.html

The survey, released Friday, also finds that nine in 10 black Americans say they disapprove of Trump's job performance.

A majority, 58%, say Trump's actions as president are "very" bad for African Americans in the nation.
Sixty-five percent of the black Americans polled feel it's a "bad time" to be a black person in America. At the same time, 77% of black Americans responded that it's a "good time" to be a white person in America.

Well you've proven yourself to be ignorant to a lot of things so it's no surprise you somehow missed Trump's many examples of being racist

Yet Trump's economic policies have brought about the lowest black unemployment rate of all time. Actions and results are what matter, and bringing good paying jobs to black communities doesn't sound like something a racist would do.

Is locking hispanic people in cages and concentration camps something someone who isn't racist does?

That depends. Are they being locked up specifically for their skin color (there are white Hispanics, for example) or are they being locked up for a different reason, say crossing a border illegally?

https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-obtains-documents-showing-widespread-abuse-child-immigrants-us-custody

The ACLU reported on many cases of physical and sexual abuse to migrant children, lack of medical care, lack of food and water, cold and unsanitary sleeping conditions, etc. These cases occurred between 2009 and 2014. Is Obama a racist? Or is the ACLU now a bunch of "alt-right conspiracy theorists"?

There is nothing there he said that's racist against black people anywhere there... also, Wikipedia isn't a source. Anyone can edit that.

Go ask Obama. Or do you think that started in 2017? Concentration camps? Thats funny. You know people are forced into concentration camps. I dont recall forcing people to illegally and unlawfully enter a sovereign country unchecked and unscrutinized. A country that actually does operate several legal border crossing points. Hmmmm

Of course not. Anyone with common sense knows he's just a jackass trolling. I really shouldn't have wasted my time, but the link pops up in the forums on occasion.

Because I'm black and the topic is about black people.

"Laziness is a trait in black people" not ring a bell for you?

Of course that's far from the only thing he's said and done. Trump doesn't hold black people in high regard.

Well, unless they're "One of the good ones" that falls in line.

Whered you get this propaganda from, I wonder.

Most illegals are people here on overstayed visas. The rest are mostly asylum seekers. Its not illegal to seek asylum.

And as to your Obama comment we criticize(d) him, too. But under Trump the situation has been ramped up to an even more alarming degree. It should have been stopped entirely under Obama and it should be stopped now as well.

Obviously not racist statements according to the fake black guy.

Its about whether or not black people think Trump is racist.

I've been saying this for years. He isnt necessaritly racist, he's a shameless opportunists who is willing to use other people's racism to his advantage.

Which is arguably worse imo

Now this I can agree with.

And yeah the whole Birtherism thing Trump lead the charge on was racist as fuck. We already have ways of ensuring someone is a native citizen, so you can't say "They were just making sure!" because bullshit they were.

And when he finally did show his birth certificate, they predictability declared it fake.

Wait, so Snopes fact-checked the phrase and marked it as "mixed" not "false" because even though he didn't actually say it, they can't prove that he never ever said it in his lifetime?

Apparantly Trump supporters think it's only racist if it's against black people. Which in itself is a racist view.

I know your gimmick is to pretend to act like there's no racism against blacks but I'll play along a bit.

Barely. The ACLU reported on it, but that's about it. Democrats weren't shrieking about it on the news non-stop, comparing Obama to a dictator, calling then concentration camps, or setting up teary eyed photo ops over it. At best, they can give an anemic "Obama shouldn't have done it" when backed into a corner.

Its a mixture because he did say part of the full statement. They could have separated it into its own fact-check but the original meme had both the laziness part and the part about black presidents.

I swear its reminiscent of an abusive relationship. But he tells me he loves me while he beats me! That PROVES it!!

Hmmm...

I've been called the N word to my face quite a few times from racists. I also have been arrested for being mistaken as a "thug" when I did nothing wrong whatsoever and have been discriminated against cops several times for having nice cars and assuming I've stolen them...

but please, insert things I've never said.

Huh.

So perhaps he didn't say that exact statement.

That doesn't erase all the confirmed stuff he has done that was racist. Birtherism, his treatment of the Central Park 5, and neither of these were mere opportunitism.

9 on 10 black voters think majority of white people are racist

So how about that

Thats fair. The establishment sucks. I guess I meant more myself and circle. But I had the advantage of dating a Mexican during that time and was involved with her immigrant rights group at her school, so I was probably more informed about it than your average person.
