It's not a joke. Which is why you asked if it were, because you likely won't speak in earnest as to the question I posed. Which white supremacists go around cavorting exclusively with Jewish people? Roy Cohn, Sheldon Adelson, the Kushner family, the bankers who kept Trump from bankruptcy in the 80s...etc...etc...etc. Call my bluff.
 
There has been no indication that he is not. And that goes back to the 60's.

Pointing to his association with Jews, he has made it known that he wants only Jews to handle his money, legal matters (fixing) and with business matters. Seems he stereo-types Jews.

If you can take advantage of a Jew, that makes you superior to the Jew.

Yes or no?
 
Yes. Not considered, ideological, burning-a-cross-on-a-lawn racist, but rather casually racist. He unthinkingly believes stereotypes, applies bias across groups, and is unreflective about his beliefs. His racism comes from laziness, not malice.
 
Does bluntly criticizing four political opponents who've been less than civil toward him and who support dangerous programs make him a racist? No, he's been as blunt and blistering towards white loonies as he was toward the Squad.

On The Apprentice, he regularly portrayed case studies in how a boss should not deal with people from other races, ethnicities or cultures, yet I didn't consider him racist. Just a boor.

In the past years I allowed that he could be saying all these racially charged things in a manipulative way, to fire up his base -- and that it wouldn't necessarily mean he was racist, but that he thought his base was.

As of this weekend, yes, my opinion is that Trump is racist.

Right, the question is does he believe what he says, or does he believe that saying those things work politically. The answer appears to be, "Yes" to both.

And, again, it doesn't matter. POTUS us sending out a white nationalist message. Don't believe liberals - you can ask the white nationalists.

He is mentally ill. Racism is a conscious decision. He may have at one time been a racist but his mental illness supersedes racism. Trump is incapable of making conscious decisions.
 
This poll works as a troll detector. They self-identify.
 
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and discriminates like an old bigot, it's probably an old bigot.

Were the other democrats racist when Clyburn (as he claimed) couldn’t become speaker?
 
If you're a birther or have ever touted the birther rhetoric and subscribed to the birther conspiracy theories, you're racist. No ifs, buts, or maybes.

There is no logical reason for anyone to continually refuse to accept factual evidence that Obama is a natural born citizen of the US.

I have been historically very careful about throwing out homophobe or racist. For the longest time, I said that I was unsure if he was a racist or just exploited racism to benefit his cause. But this stuff is incredibly consistent and it goes back long before he sought this office, and and his statements and positions go beyond ignorance or political correctness. I think he has a real problem with brown skin, or black skin just as he does with women.

He is not a homophobe though.
 
Donald Trump is a con man. He does not believe in anything nor hold any views. He just plays whatever game he gets involved in by being divisive and controversial. To ask if he is racist is to ask if he has any deeply held attitudes, ideological leanings, or beliefs. His only interest seems to be in the goofball he sees in the mirror. His friends today could just as easily be his enemies tomorrow. He is the fulfillment of the movie Idiocracy. He has turned politics into the equivalent of pro wrestling. He plays a heel who wins his matches and insults his opponents and those in the crowd who boo him. Donald "Tiny Hands" Trump lives to power slam rational political discussion and turn it into a fake war of words.

So when Michelle Obama said that Barack's home country is Kenya, we're supposed to ignore that statement, out of a sense of reverence for the all-important buzzword of buzzwords.

A thousand times yes already. That's like asking if the Pope is catholic. To be fair he is prejudiced against anyone with half a brain.:lol:

You're trying to deflect using whataboutism as does trump and Kellyanne Conway. Start a thread on Clyburn and I'll be happy to comment.

For those who voted for and support trump, it's understandable you'd want not to face the fact you voted for an openly racist and divisive person. trump's a racist. Deal with it or not.

That's pretty much what the Trump election was about. You'd think they would have had a break after 2 years, but noooo. The genius businessman builder hasn't gotten anything done!

Other than having great employment numbers, and economic growth. When social justice is your cause, you don't care about the economy, I suppose

Sorry to bust your bubble, I’m not a Trump supporter. However I do like some of his policies.
I’m just a common sense guy that knows a stupid statement when he sees it.
All 62 million Americans that voted for Trump is not racist, that includes 29% Hispanics, 8% black and 29% Jews.

People get tired of threads like yours. It only negative and everyone is a racist.

I’m sure I wouldn’t have to hold my breathe very long for the next thread about racist Trump or racist republicans or racist people that voted for Trump.

I have no bubble to be burst. trump's comments were racist, trump has a history of doing and saying racist things. I know what I saw in his tweets last night and in his comments today.

He's a racist, plain and simple. Anyone who tries to dismiss what he said as plainly, "stupid" I'm afraid is simply in denial.

I'm not going to discuss this with you any further. Have a nice night.

Your blanket statement is stupid. anyone who screams Trump is a racist is dishonest. See, we both can play that game.

Was he a racist all his life?
Was he a racist in the early 2000 when he was a registered Democrat?
Was he a racist when he was supporting democrat candidates like Billy Clinton?
Wake up to the nasty world of politics and politicians.

I’m sure after he is out of office he will go back to having dinner parties with the Clintons.
