Is President Trump a racist?

[Skunk]

Everyone's a little bit racist.

"Is President Davis (CSA) a racist?"

- some rando, c. 1861

[All Along The Watchtower]

No. Liberals have a broad definition of racism. To millions of Americans, slavery was racism, segregation was racism, and the KKK was racism.

If you don't actively like those three things, then you're not a racist. Of course, according to today's liberals, everything is racist which almost turns conversations about race into the "boy who cried wolf" syndrome. When everything is racist and everyone is racist, that's when you begin to get eye-rolls from many Americans.

Of the people you've met in your life, how many of them aren't white?

[The Dowager Mod]

I wonder if any of the African Americans he refused to rent to think he's a racist.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

The most racist president since Wilson.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I mean the one constant with Trump has been his racial prejudice; there's a reason why he became obsessed with the Central Park 5 and wanted them to be executed. That was way before he was seriously considering running for office.

This. How anyone can honestly say that he's not racist or, at the very least, stoking his base's racial animosity for his own political gain (basically just as bad) is beyond me.

Who cares if he is?

Black people? Hispanic and Latinx people? Immigrants? Americans of all races and national origins who care about the President of the United States displaying moral leadership and basic human decency? Americans who want to be proud of their President again, but can't quite remember what that felt like, even if it was just a year or so ago that they were? The 54% of American voters who didn't vote for Sweet Potato Saddam? All of the above?

What the hell is a Latinx??

Gender neutral term for latino/latina

Oh so it’s not a word for some androgynous Dominican butch wearing only black latext?

You seem to be a little on the older side (possibly just out of touch, doesn't speak Spanish, or doesn't know anyone who's Latinx) but you still know how to type "Latinx" into Google, right? Anyway, SWE answered:

Sure, and every mammal has some amount of body hair. That doesn't mean we can't recognize a Sasquatch when we see one.

I think he was making a reference.

[TDAS04]

Do cats eat meat? 

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Latinx doesn't sound Spanish at all.

[MAINEiac4434]

Yes, and everyone who says he isn’t is also a racist.

Thanks a lot for calling me and Reagan fan a racist.

You’re welcome

That joke had so much potential.

Right on the money.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I'll give it to Naso that the so-called "microaggressions" we've seen from (mostly) upper-class white liberals over the past five years has made it difficult to call out the actual racists.  Such as himself.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I doubt it and much of the "racial" slander he supposedly says is more likely then not just political pandering to his base then actual Racist thoughts.

This.

Occam's Razor says he is a racist.

True, but Occam's Razor doesn't always apply IRL.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Use Latin@s.

[JGibson]

YES. He has had a decades-long record of such racist activities and behavior.

Obama's birth certificate, repeated attacks on Gonzalo Curiel, repeatedly smearing Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas", housing discrimination, Central Park Five ad, and Charlottesville "many sides" comments, to name a few, are part of his decades-long racism record.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Very evident that he is a racist.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

YES. He has had a decades-long record of such racist activities and behavior.

Obama's birth certificate, repeated attacks on Gonzalo Curiel, repeatedly smearing Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas", housing discrimination, Central Park Five ad, and Charlottesville "many sides" comments, to name a few, are part of his decades-long racism record.

Decades long?  Most of these activities are within the last seven years or so.

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Alternate thread title: are you a Republican or a Democrat?

[Cold War Liberal]

YES. He has had a decades-long record of such racist activities and behavior.

The glaring omission from that statement being the federal housing discrimination case from 1973...
