Trump could give the next State of the Union in a Klansman uniform and you would still say that. I am convinced the if Trump went out and raped a 14 year old girl, you would say, "Well, what she wearing?". There is nothing Trump could do, no matter how utterly despicable, that you would not defend him on.

Geezus. Talk about a using a broad brush for character assassination.

Yes, you are a racist.
The word is used so much, just about everyone that is not a minority is a racist.
You want an example, look at these political forums.
 
I don't think Trump is racist.

Bucky:

Given the man's publicly stated comments on Latin Americans (thieves, murderers, rapists, MS-13 gang members, bad judges, Puetro Rico disaster relief), Arabs and other Muslims (terrorists, religious zealots, fifth columnists), Africans and Afro-Americans ($h!thole countries, refusing to rent to blacks, Central Park Five legal debacle) and now his ignorant and prejudicial comments on these four congresswomen (three of whom were born in the USA) , I find it very hard to accept your appraisal.

What leads you to your conclusion that there is not a racist bone in his body? And while we're at it how about mysoginistic and authoritarian bones?

Cheers.

This should be good.

Criticizing foreign, anti-American thought originating from a brown person is not racism.

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.

Unless you're psychic, you never know what's in someone's head. All you can go by are their words and actions and throughout trump's history as an adult, he's behaved like a racist. So **** him.
 
I've never been a fan of Trump. I've thought since day one of his candidacy in 2015 that he was unworthy of being president. But I tried to convince myself that he himself was not so much racist as he was cognizant of the role he needed to assume to attract those who are racist.

I should have realized that if you are willing to cater so easily to such a crowd, perhaps it's because you are part of that crowd.

He's a full blown white supremacist imo.

Ahem, birtherism was his big thing in 2011-2012...I've 'suspected' it since then.

Well yeah - but I wasn't really paying attention to him until 2016, so I used that date.

Before then he was just an idiot in the background to be ignored.

No, but it might make you a specie-ist. James Carville is an alien.

ELM- extraterrestrial lives matter!
 
Btw, isn't James Carville white?? Where was Rogue Valley going with that question??

Every white person, both male and female and transgender who disagrees with a liberal or any black, Hispanic or any other race is a racist through and through. That is a know facts. It’s in their genes.

No, but someone behaves like a racist how can they not be?

This is a joke, right?

"Truthatallcost" must mean "truththatfitsaskewednarrative"
 
I didn’t see “could be” I never met him, so I voted no.

Not if you're a racist it's not. Racists don't consider themselves rapists, such as pedophiles don't understand why everyone doesn't like to **** kids. It's part of being sick in the head.

For someone who claims he's the least racist person you'll ever meet, Trump's actions give the distinct impression he's a racist.
 
He said they should "go back" to the "totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

The four women he’s referring to are actually citizens of the United States. Three of the four were born there.

How can anyone be ok with his statements?

He's just repulsive. Along with those supporters of his that will continue to defend him at all costs as no bar is too low for them.

Ugly rhetoric that should be called out by everyone.

Simple poll due to the comments he made over the weekend. Thoughts?

Can't answer... need a not sure option.

He might be. Hell, he probably is. I have not seen any quote of his that is racist to this point though...
