Why do people deny that trump is a racist?

[Anonymous]

Okay trump is a racist piece of shit and I don't see why his supporters choose to deny that. He pushed the Barack obama birther conspiracy theories, says laziness is a trait found in blacks and openly discriminated against black renters for his apartments and was sued by the us justice department for it. I mean I don't get why people just can't admit it I mean his supporters are a fucking assholes and are litterally fucking sp stupid that I feel 20 percent of them are illiterate and dont actually know shit about how the government or politics work and only fucking voted for him just to piss off liberals.

[larswisner]

He is an old school guy. He was raised in the 50s and 60s and that was the mentality at the time and as a result that is how he thinks. Now, although he may have some controversial opinions, I don't think that s a direct reflection of his politics. From an outsider looking in, it looks as though Trump has actually done more good than bad for his country and just because the people who voted for him don't agree with your views doesn't mean they're stupid. If you ask me, Trump and Clinton are both crooks and people were stuck choosing between two losers.

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Considering how I've seen people cry and bitch about racism when he refused to put up with a hackler ((who just so happened to be black)), I'm gonna need some SERIOUS facts or I'm afraid I'm gonna have to call you a butthurt scrap.

[Asker]

He said obama wasn't born in America

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Try again.

[Asker]

Anyone who says obama wasn't born in America is a racist

[FýrdracaDócincel]

LMAO
And just how is that? xD

[Asker]

Because people only think he wasn't born in America because he's black

[FýrdracaDócincel]

People think he wasn't born in America because of how much he tried to sweep terrorist attacks under the rug..

[Asker]

Sweep terrorist attacks under the rug please you're god king Ronald Reagan helped fund and created the talibian

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Our intentions were to help the people defend themselves. Don't confuse the issue.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

So. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone when it was a US territory and Liberals who failed social studies also said he wasn't born in America. So how's it a racial thing?
Butthurt snowflake.

And why don't you show your face coward?

[Asker]

It is a racial thing people only say obama wasn't born in America because they are a fucking racist piece of shit the fucking KKK endorsed trump so if that isn't proof to you he's racist I don't know what is

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Okay. Don't feed the troll

[Anonymous]

Why is it racist to criticise Obama?
He never discriminated against black renters who could afford to live in his apartments and he was one of the first to open up his golf clubs to African Americans.

[goaded]

If Obama's campaign had labelled anyone racist, there would have been screams from the right about "playing the race card", no matter how valid the claims.

"When Trump was serving as the president of his family’s real estate company, the Trump Management Corporation, in 1973, the Justice Department sued the company for alleged racial discrimination against black people looking to rent apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

The lawsuit charged that the company quoted different rental terms and conditions to black rental candidates than it did with white candidates, and that the company lied to black applicants about apartments not being available." (He settled.)

There's another dozen examples, here:

@goaded Huffington news is fake news and it was the 70s, Trump changed the policy of the company he inherited which had the same policy as every other company at the time. Are you going to give bill Clinton shit for flying the confederate flag when he was a govener or Obama shit for his racism of having two middle eastern Americans executed without trial?

[goaded]

Oh, ffs, "Fake News", the first refuge of the liar.

You can look up all of the claims they make. You might disagree with a few, but there's definitely a pattern. The company you claim he changed the policy of was sued for the same thing three years later and reportedly kept doing it even after that.

"It was the 70s"? And 80s, and 90s. And Noughties (Birther), and whatever the hell we're supposed to call this decade.

"“When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” Kip Brown, a former employee at Trump’s Castle, told the New Yorker for a September article. “It was the *eighties*, I was a teen-ager, but I remember it: they put us all in the back.”

Trump disparaged his black casino employees as “lazy” in vividly bigoted terms, according to a *1991* book by John O’Donnell, a former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino."

@goaded Fake news is the first refuge of the list hence the fake news or lies.
That's somebody's book with a chip on their shoulder.
"Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki (born al-Aulaqi; 26 August 1995 – 14 October 2011) was a 16-year-old American of Yemeni descent who was killed while eating dinner at an outdoor restaurant in Yemen by a drone airstrike ordered by U. S. President Barack Obama on 14 October 2011. Abdulrahman al-Awlaki's father, Anwar al-Awlaki, was alleged to be an operational leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Anwar was killed by a CIA drone strike also ordered by President Barack Obama two weeks prior to the killing of his son."

[goaded]

I know about the Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki murder, liberals condemned it at the time. You're just trying to change the subject, especially as the racist attacks are never about Obama's policies or actions.

I bet you $100 that Trump has never condemned that killing.

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded its pretty racist to execute a us citizen without evidence or a trial just because he is a middle eastern Muslim don't you think?
Liberals "condemned" it but still supported Obama and gave him a pass on it. Did Obama or hillary condem it?

[goaded]

Of course it's not racist; nobody in their right mind thinks he was killed because he was brown.

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded would Obama have murdered him if he was a baptist African American rather than a Muslim middle eastern? Or is it not racist because Obama as an African American can't be racist?

[goaded]

It shouldn't have happened, and they covered it up, but he was not the target of the drone strike and there probably weren't many baptist African Americans sitting near the target of any drone strike in Yemen. You're just being obtuse and ignoring decades of behaviour from Trump.

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded he was the target as was his father. Both suspected of being involved in terrorist activities but with no proof and no trial before these two us citizens were executed. If there were Baptist African Americans near the target site their would have been no drone strikes. Your ignoring 8 years of Obama executing people suspected of terrorism without trial or without concern for civilian casualties all because they were middle eastern Muslims. At least Bush only locked them up instead of killing them and their families in their sleep.

[goaded]

You forgot to mention the torture.

Back to the subject at hand, how is this an argument that Trump isn't racist?

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded torture is a lot better than being killed with your wife and children by s drone dropped on your house because they suspected you of being a terrorist.
How can you prove Trump is racist? Criticising Obama is not racist but executing a middle eastern Muslim boy who is a us citizen because he was suspected of terrorism is pretty racist.

[goaded]

I already proved Trump is a racist, with a pattern of behaviour over five decades.

I never said, nobody ever said, criticising Obama was racist, in itself; but pretending he's not American because he's black - that's racist.

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded he was suspected of being born outside of America as a Kenyan, Obama is a Kenyan American raised by white grandparents. His mother was a white American so he was guaranteed to be a citizen no matter where he was born. The reason for suspicion goes back to 2008 when the Hillary camp could find no record of his birth certificate. It wasn't because of the color of his skin but because their was no record of his birth.
You haven't been able to prove Trump was racist even once.

[goaded]

You know that's 1. a pack of lies, and 2. no other (meaning white) presidential candidate has ever been asked to produce a birth certificate.

Also, Clinton didn't start it, it started before his Senate run:

"Smears 2.0
The Internet helps fuel the ugly insinuation that Obama is a stealth Muslim, reviving an ancient hate.
December 03, 2007"
articles.latimes.com/2007/dec/03/opinion/ed-obama3

"So it's worth considering the persistence of the Internet rumors that Obama, well known to Chicagoans as a Christian, is actually a stealth Muslim, a "Manchurian candidate" who would take the presidential oath with his hand on the Koran.

The rumors first surfaced during Obama's run for Senate but took off in a viral e-mail campaign in 2006."

“I think the guy is lazy,” Trump said of a black employee, according to O’Donnell. “And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded no other president had question marks over their citizenship or nationality and all could produce a birth cert for the various previous office they held, Obama could not. If Maxine Waters or Elizabeth Warren ask Trump for his birth certificate would that not be racist too?
So this guys John O'Donnell a disgruntled ex employee butthurt at being passed over for promotion and writes a book to profit with half truth and lies to sell his book, this dishonorable man's word is to be trusted?
https://goo.gl/images/xoHzca
Let's not forget the Clinton's hung out with KKK member Robert Byrd and flew the confederate flag in Arkansas, also lets not forget Obama being racist to all those middle eastern Muslims.
There's been a lot of grasping at straws about Trump simply because liberals don't like him personally and don't like his policies all to explain away why Hillary lost from sexism to racism to the Russians all bullshit.

by the way Obama did produce a birth certificate back in 2008 by the way

Yes after Hillary started the rumour.

You're an idiot. Go ahead and make my day, I already reported you first, jerk.

You would rather have a socialist Marxist in the White House.

[Asker]

I have no problem with a republican in office and I wouldn't even mind if ted Cruz was president since he isn't a racist like trump is

[Asker]

I also would have voted for Marco Rubio or Rand Paul over hilary Clinton by the way

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Yeah, he's so tough talking shit but posting anonymously.

[goaded]

@ZeussLightningBolt The irony of you saying that in response to an anonymous poster throwing insults is completely wasted on you, isn't it.

[Paris13]

Thanks to Gag. lolxxoo

[ENTP_EMO]

This is the greatest MHO EVER

[Gray-Wisp]

You mean like how lefties swear that Trump is secretly KGB?

You mean like how Hillary back then was anti gay marriage but now loves homosexuals?

You mean asshole supporters like Antifa wearing masks and attacking people in a group?

"I mean I don't get why people just can't admit it I mean his supporters are a fucking assholes and are litterally fucking sp stupid that I feel 20 percent of them are illiterate and dont actually know shit about how the government or politics work and only fucking voted for him just to piss off liberals."

- "litterally"
- "dont"
- "sp"
- Lack of punctuation.
- Complete run on sentence.
*At same time calls 20% of opponents illiterate.*

You're somehow over eight teen, illiterate, brainwashed, and add hypocritical if you somehow believe that Hillary Clinton would've been a better alternative.

[WalterRadio]

Trump isn't a racist. He has done more for blacks in 18 months than Obama did in 8 years.

It is the Democrats that are racist. Their policies keep a disproportionate percent of blacks down by making them dependent upon them like a slave is dependent upon his master. Democrats haven't really changed over the past 175 years.

[JenSCDC]

"He has done more for blacks in 18 months than Obama did in 8 years." Citations, please.

[JenSCDC]

"Trump isn't a racist." Um... Housing discrimination?

[JenSCDC]

"It is the Democrats that are racist." Democrats were more likely than Republicans to have voted for the Civil Rights Act.

[WalterRadio]

@JenSCDC
" Citations, please."
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000006
Trump has accomplished the lowest black unemployment since records have been kept.

"Housing discrimination?"
The claims are exaggerated and misplaced.

"Democrats were more likely than Republicans to have voted for the Civil Rights Act."
You are wrong. The Republicans introduce a Civil rights bill in every session after the end of the war and in every session, Democrats blocked it. It was a deal between MLK and JFK, where MLK promised to deliver JFK the black vote (who were mostly Republican voters) in exchange for a Civil Rights Act. Johnson (a real reacist) saw the political opportunity of captured black votes for generations and followed through with JFK's deal. He then quickly undermined the opportunities for blacks with the Great Society bills.

As for the actual votes:

[goaded]

Take a look, and you'll see that the current situation is just a continuation of the trend since 2010, at the peak of the recession, and no different for black people than anyone else.

[JustWorthlessMe]

To his supporters it's not a bad thing lol They won't own up to it so they try pathetically hard to deny HE is that way.

Could you imagine the RAGE if Obama said or did 1/10 the crap he has?

Hell, if he even hinted at saying "grab them by the pussy" the KKK's membership would grow 50 times over!!!

[Anonymous]

Hillary started the brother rumour and trump believed it was true. It was necessary that Obama as a Kenyan American produce it.

[ecfresh]

Trump promised to nominate judges to the SCOTUS before he was elected. So far he has followed through with his promise so I would say we are in good shape.

[goaded]

What has that got to do with anything?

The first nomination was stolen in the first place, and handed to him on a plate.

[ecfresh]

@goaded That means he kept his word. When someone makes a promise and then keeps that promise it's a good thing.

[goaded]

He also said the Senate Republican tax plan will cost him and his family "a fortune."

[dropkicknj13]

When and where did he say laziness is a trait of blacks? Lol

[my_name]

that's a quote in a book from 1991, he personally said it's possible he said that

[dropkicknj13]

So it's just an accusation?

[my_name]

nope.. Trump told this for the Playboy magazine: "Nobody has had worse things written about them than me. And here I am. The stuff O'Donnell wrote about me is probably true. The guy's a fu***ng loser. A fu***ng loser."

[dropkicknj13]

... soooooo it's just an accusation, and Trump didn't bother fighting it

[my_name]

he said it's probably true and he argued with it for like 7 years before admitting.. i didn't write the whole thing so you don't know, but it did bother him

[ZeussLightningBolt]

If that's true then why did you post this anonymously?

[Nachowedgie]

Cuz they're a coward

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Well if he's gonna talk shit he should show his face an back it up.

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

exactly lol

I'm not sure he hates black people but the wall thing is really weird

[Opinion Owner]

ok i saw some stuff online about what he said in the 70'/80' and I'm pretty sure he does have some stuff against black people..

third update.. yeah he's racist

[ForrestD]

Because he isn't, ever wonder why you never heard of it until a few years ago?

[goaded]

Because no-one but the DoJ was paying attention?

And that's if you ignore the whole Birther movement and the Central Park Five.

Can you quote him saying something racist?
