embracing birtherism, referring to African nations as "shithole countries," telling congresswomen of color to go back to where they came from, calling Mexican immigrants "rapists," refusing to denounce white supremacists..and of course,... tagging colored applicants at his apartments with a "C' on their applications with his father in the 70's.
The "C" indicated... ????
I’m not defending Trump by any means but suspicion over Obama’s birthplace was common, his father was Kenyan for crying out loud. Not sure how that’s racist.
Many African countries are $hitholes. There are plenty of statistics to back that up. That’s not racist.
Don’t know anything about telling Congress women to go back home. What Congressman?
Where did Trump refuse to denounce white supremacy? If you bring up Charlottesville, I’m going to laugh. I refuse to believe you’re that ignorant.
He didn’t call all Mexican immigrants rapist. I believe in context he was referring to criminals crossing the border illegally. That’s not racist.
Trump was sued,he counter sued and a consent decree was reach. There was no trial, noting adjudicated. There was no proof Trump coded black applicants with a “C”. Trump said his property management company did not rent to section 8 applicants, a common trend among property owners. Something you would probably do.
So you’ve not provided actual evidence proving your claim.
But, I’m surprised you didn’t bring up this quote: “Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this."
Or the time when he said a high ranking KKK member was one of his mentors.
Or the time he said “poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.”
Or the fact his own VP once called him a racist.
Or the time he referred to Obama as the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean.
If you wanted to provide actual backup proving racism, why didn’t you bring those up?
