You seem convinced that they were removed for racists reasons, so tell us all why didn't Trump have all African Americans removed then from the event? He only removed the ones that were there to protest.

Do you have evidence that law enforcement said that.

Good point. I'm curious as to whether or not the rather hysterical poster in question has a reply for this.

Yes the poster already claimed that it was OK to have a few blacks "sprinkled among the whites" but that the grouping together of so many blacks is what was frightening to the racists.

The media is doing what to Trump? Since when is showing the man speaking considered to be rallying against him?

Does anyone really believe that Trump scans the crowd and was able to identify a group of blacks in the bleachers?
Or that he tells his crew if you see a group of blacks escort them out?

Of course he doesn't want them there. It will ruin his reputation with some of his core support -- Neo-Nazis, Stormfront and the Klan.

I absolutely believe that. He likes a very controlled environment--easier to manipulate.

Black Students Removed From Trump Rally - The Daily Beast

Why in the world would he have the black students removed? Why is this okay to Trump supporters?

The sight of the students, who were visibly upset, being led outside by law enforcement officials created a stir at a university that was a whites-only campus until 1963.

Not sure it's a racist deal (???) so much as a 'you disagree with me, therefore you must go" deal. Or both! Not sure he knows the difference. Heil Trump!!!

I actually don't think you really believe these things, but if you do, what is your reasoning for believing them?

Trump has never said, or done anything that would lead a reasonable person to believe that he supports Neo-Nazis, Stormfront and the Klan, or is a racist.
