I think its more every white person or person that has even just a tich of white in them, is. All white people are racist, misogynistic, you name it a phobes, mean, cruel, uncaring and just plain awful human beings. White people should be blamed for everything bad in the world, because we are supposed to have caused it.
 
When campaigning for the 2016 presidential election, Trump called for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."

For the "Islam is not a race" deflectors, at the end of the day, it matters not.

Call it racism, call it prejudice, call it bigotry, at the end of the day, it’s still discrimination.
 
Trump is such a liar it is hard to tell what he really is

But he certainly has a racist tone in his campaign.

Hard to tell if he really believes this crap or just uses it to unite his base. One thing for.sure. he has america's racist solidly in his camp.

But then again he has said before he loves the ignorant and uneducated.

It doesn't.

It's a political strategy adopted by democrats and their supporters shortly after Obama took office, designed to stifle any and all political opposition to his policies. It continues to be used today in an attempt to discredit their political opponents and advance their proposals without having to debate the merits of those proposals.

Just look at the entire illegal immigration/border security issue. We are facing a major crisis that needs to be addressed and when Trump or republicans present possible solutions to the problem, the democrats don't debate the merits of those proposals, they instead point their fingers and cry "racist" instead. That's it... discussion over.

Nasty misogynist racists usually don't like me.

Poor oppressed white cis dude. Never gets a break! :lol:

Oof, it did come off like that, didn’t it? It was a flippant, thoughtless remark and I wish I could have it back. I got the biggest break ever by living in this great nation. I’m nowhere near oppressed in any sense of the word.

I voted yes, but I don't know whether he's personally a racist/bigot/white nationalist. What is obvious is he believes appealing to those who are those things is politically expedient, and so he does do that. From where I sit, the difference between being a racist etc. or just doing racist things or that appeal to racists doesn't matter to anything.

This!! 1000 times.

I don't know if he's racist. I know he thinks his base is racist. And he's pandering to them now.

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

Dude, you're the one screaming. I base my opinion on the fact that trump has a history of racist behavior. His latest tirade - telling Americans to "go back where they came from" is a classic white supremacist chant.

Let's talk about you for a moment. I've seen you claim that people like Obama and Holder, both light years more qualified for leadership than trump, only got to where the are because they took advantage of race quotas.

It's so tragic that someone as obviously intelligent as you can be so blind to your own irrational racial fear and hatred.

that probably does have some validity. There are some nativists who support Trump and he does pander to them

Disagreeing with them, no. Telling American citizens to go home to a foreign country, yes.

how so? if someone was of Russian heritage and Trump told them to go home-would that be racist?

for you to prove racism, you have to prove his actions was due to a racist animus.
 
Wonder how many who voted Trump is a racist are racists themselves? It seems so easy today to call someone a "racist" when you disagree with the views.

I don't agree with many things Trump says. Some things I do agree with. Much the same when Obama was President or any past President.

you can be anti Trump and not anti American. Tres for example is clearly anti Trump but NOT anti American. However, many anti Trump activists are anti American

many racists scream that others are racists . For years, many on the left (correctly in many cases) noted that gay bashers were often closet cases. The same is true of those who scream racism

I'm not going to waste my time. I could recount his lying about Muslims in New Jersey cheering the fall of the twin towers on 9/11, encouraging violence against Muslim Americans- or his continued condemnation of the Central Park 5 while pardoning Joe Arpio. I could recount many, many examples, including his latest rant against American people of color. If you're not going to face facts now you never will. Your irrational fear and hatred of non-white people consumes you totally. I'm not trying to insult you - I truly believe what I'm saying is true.

Are Muslims a RACE? What have I done to demonstrate any support for your scurrilous claims that I fear and hate non-whites? This is just another case of a leftwing Trump hater throwing the race card because you cannot formulate an intellectually rigorous response

That's not my take on the issue at all. The immigration issue is not easily fixed and so far all of the suggestions of the Trump administration have been wastes of money. The issue is not the solutions proposed, but the reasoning behind the solutions that we learn based on comments Trump makes about the solutions. We get a window into his motivations, and those motivations have a clearly racist bent. It is entirely possible for someone to be in favor of Republican solutions to immigration without being a racist. But if you say that we don't want these people from these ****-hole countries and tell American representatives of color to go back to their home countries and fix things there before they come back here and try to make America a more tolerant place, your motives are racist.

Would it make sense to tell Trump to go back to his country of origin and solve the problems there before he comes back to America and tries to change the culture here? Wouldn't the only people who would say that most likely have a problem with German immigrants?

You're going to have to support that contention. Just disagreeing with Trump policies or kneeling during the national anthem is not anti-American.

Interestingly, Trump has never told a white immigrant to go home.

Muslim Americans are people of color, as are African Americans, Latino people, etc. You know this. As I predicted in my last post, my recounting of trump's actual history of racial behavior would not convince you. Why? There could only be one reason - you share trump's fear and hatred of anyone non-white.
