Are you asking just about the left or are you asking about folks other than just left that think Trump is racist?

Good point. There are plenty of non-racist Republicans who also think Trump is a racist.

Unfortunately, it doesn't stop them from going along with him anyway, but at least they have their two minutes on camera saying they find his statements very objectionable!

Can leftists explain why they think Donald Trump is racist?
The Left are no brighter than barking dogs. One dog takes up the "racist" bark and another mimics him. The first thing you know, the whole neighborhood is barking "racist" and no one has any idea why they are all doing it.

"Sadly, because president Obama has done such a poor job as president, you won't see another black president for generations!"

Saying that Obama's "poor performance" is attributable to him being black isn't racist? Maybe Trump supporters need to expand their definition of racism beyond just the use of the 'n' word and klansmen.

yup -- lots of comments this week and in prior cases where he just has said the wrong thing.

And for the record....my objection to Trump has little to do with him jumping on the Republican band wagon.

oh no no no no no....it goes much much deeper.

I don't think I'm alone on this one.

There are some Republcians who will defend Trump forever but not sure all Republicans/righties are pro-Trump

So just stop assumign it is just the left that doesn't like him and his behavior.

Donald Trump started the birther thing about Obama which had no basis.

That made him either stupid (because it was provably false) or racist. I don't believe Trump is stupid, so I have to draw the second conclusion.

No analysis is needed beyond there.

Systematic discrimination against blacks in his rental properties. for one.

Here's a few of his old quotes:
Is Donald Trump Racist? 15 Controversial Quotes President-Elect Said About Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Asians And Obama

And let's not forget: siding with racists in Charlottesville, his multi-year overtly racist crusade questioning Obama's citizenship, pretending he didn't know who David Duke was...

When you say racist crap, do racist things, and associate with racists, you just might find yourself being labeled a racist.
Antifa chased down and punched Trump supporters at Trump rallies in many places. Antifa is a terrorist group defined as such. So you support terrorists.
