Donald Trump's Long History of Racism

[sjoes006]

Starting in 1973 when he was sued by the DOJ for breaching fair housing laws, sued not once but twice.

The Birther Movement.

And, my favorite, come on black peole, "what do you have to lose".

[BuchitaBuchys]

Um, I agree he's racist, but this take seems a bit short lol He has much more than this. I'm not sure if it's incomplete or right tactic to try to make it seem like he's not racist.

[sjoes006]

Please feel free to pile on. I'm watching the debate so this is why it is short. Hillary called him out on his fair housing violations. I understand the early 1979's was a long time ago but old men like this don't change. They don't turn a new leaf.

He's a racist. His 'campaigning' to black people is simply disgraceful. This is not a man who can lead a united country. It will be a divided country and painful for everyone. He wants to make stop and frisk mainstream.

If we think the social unrest in our country is bad right now just wait until election night of this MF wins.

I again quote Thomas Jefferson, "when I reflect that God is just I trble for my country". I don't want to see that future.

I hate Donald Trump. I don't like racists. I can't understand why people are not trying to throw him out of the presidential race.

And, my favorite, come on black peole, "what do you have to lose".

How is that in any shape or form "racist"?

What do they have to lose?

The black community have been treated like absolute shit for decades. They've seen a very minute amount of improvements.

They should know that if Clinton (the Establishment) were to win, then they would undoubtedly suffer from the same pain again.

You didn't bother explain why the above statement is racist either, you simply assumed it was because apparently Trump hates black people.

Hillary started the birthed movement. It wasn't only his company that was sued by the DOJ, it was a federal lawsuit involving many other companies. He also settled the suit without any admission of guilt.

[sjoes006]

Hillary was working FOR Obama when Trump started this rumor. I'm old enough to remember the start of it and it was a one man job. Well maybe him and Rush.

The idea that Hillary started it is absurd. It's not even her style in the least. This is a woman after all who we have known for 30 years as Trump likes to say. Also a lie. 30 years ago Clinton was the bread winner over her Attorney General then Governor husband successfully running alas firm, advocating for children's health and education issues. Yep she's consistent.

She's been in public eye for 25 years. Look it up she was hot back then.

[Dred1614returns]

Her campaign circulated images of Obama in Muslim garb in order to plant a seed of doubt in the minds of primary voters. She's a phony "children's advocate" too. She laughed about the ease at which she got a pedophile rapist acquitted. She also painted the 12 year old victim as emotionally unstable and that she possibly made false accusations in the past. Some "children's advocate" Hillary is.

[sjoes006]

It simply didn't happen. Reporters who are supposed to remain neutral had to call him out on this all out lie. Either way though it simply doesn't absolve Trump of his role. Let's assume you were right about Hillary with Obama pictures.

It isn't the same thing as Trump being a talking head for over a year on this issue, demanding the long form birth certificate then refusing to accept it. Most educated people saw it for what it was- propaganda.

It isn't the acceptable behavior of a future president. I hate to have to say this again but it's fear and hate mongering of a demagogue.

Never ever trust a candidate that runs on fear. The Red Scare, Hitler scape goating the Jews like Trump is the Mexicans.

Corny but when you point a figure you have four more (3 more) pointing back at you.

You have one candidate pointing fingers left and right and the other taking accountability and pointing at no one. That's a leader.

[Dred1614returns]

People should thank Trump for ending the birther movement. Hillary's campaign started it, and Trump finished it. Even Obama referred to her allusion to his possible Muslim faith as a dirty trick. She planted a seed of doubt about his "possible" Muslim faith back in 2008. This, coupled with the pictures shows that Clinton's dirty tricks started the birther movement. Trump did the nation a service by ending it.

[sjoes006]

Troll alert.

[reptocarl]

He's entitled to his opinions and I'm still voting for him. What pisses people off is his comments have some truth to them

[sjoes006]

Yes I'm okay with you voting for him. Your up his ally and I don't mean that offensively. Your just the audience he appeals to. But it's others who know better like the bottom dweller Ted Cruz who just endorsed him. Ted is a deeply depraved man but he's very intelligent and knows that he just sold his soul to try and save his seat.

[Library]

No that's not why. It's because it is a racist comment that tries to generalize all black people... You are racist too if you didn't know that. It would shock me if you are 54 years old and don't know the definition of racism.

[reptocarl]

@Library I adopted an African American boy. Blacks have a "you owe me" attitude for decades and want special treatment. If you really want true equality then get rid of affirmative action or shut up

[reptocarl]

@Library and yes there is some truth in what he says

[gapminder]

Oh he's a total piece of shit!

[StickStickity13]

He's not completely lying

[sjoes006]

That black people or lazy or have nothing to lose?

[StickStickity13]

Lazy, a lot are pretty lazy. Compared to other demographics.

[sjoes006]

The black women I've known in my early years are many of my role models. I was lucky enough to be treated as one of their own. Damn good Mamas working 60 hours weeks in teaching and care. Great kids too. Great kids that now are educated and good members of society.

[StickStickity13]

There are always exceptions, and a lot do work very hard. But there is a lazy culture among many black families
