I'm guessing you are pretty young, maybe even a teenager.
"Go back to Africa" was a very racist comment during the civil rights movement.
You might be too young (or naïve) to realize that, but Don Trump was very aware of its historical context when he made that statement.
Another perpetually aggrieved poster. Move out of the past and get over yourself.
Just because you don't see racism as a white person, that doesn't mean that there is no racism. You just don't recognize it, unless it is obvious. I know that many white person dating/married to a minority are often shocked that they never realized how much minorities have to deal with prejudice and racism until they were dating.
Just because you don't see or hear a tree fall in the forest, it does not mean that the tree never fell.

You seem to be projecting your own racism into this argument. "just because you dont act racist doesnt mean you arnt"? What the heck kinda argument is that?

That simply means that they feel they are entitled to the ability to define you as a racist if they want to regardless of the truth.
Except that they have and you silly Trumplets have resorted to some game of making your denial of facts and reality.......very conscious intead of subconscious.
Insult doesn't pass for argument. You only prove my point.
1. Because illegal immigrants may be a problem, but they are not taking jobs that anyone wants.
I have to assume that if you are smart enough to use a computer, and to type, you can't possibly believe the stuff you typed!
Wrong!
Illegal aliens are indeed taking jobs that Americans want---and still do. Believe it or not---there are still Americans working in the fields. And if farmers can't find local help, there is an agricultural visa program they can use that has no caps on it.
When ICE was allowed to do raids of factories and food processing plants, Americans would line up the very same day to apply for those jobs. In MS, when Howard Industries was raided, Americans (both black and white) lined up for those jobs, with some driving 40 miles to do so.
Many chain restaurants use E-verify and have no problems finding Americans and legal immigrants to take their back of the house jobs.
If you travel at all and stay in hotels, you will see Americans cleaning the rooms, as well as legal immigrants.
Since we've been flooded with illegals, many honest contractors in the construction industries have lost their livelihood because they couldn't compete with sleazy contractors who hired illegals and paid them under the table.
Finally, I would heed what you wrote in your last sentence. You are smart enough to use a computer and type. Start googling.
Now,do not get me wrong,he has made anti Hispanic and anti-Islam comments,but i have not seen anti-black comments.
Please point out where he was racist toward blacks-I do not want to read about the others.
Yes, I have not heard him say anything negative about Americans with African lineage.
I will say, though, any presidential candidate who will come after the first president with significant African heritage may face some disappointment at the very least from African Americans. Because the period of time that someone like them was the President is coming to an end. At least until our second president with African heritage is elected.
Nobody has produced anything by Trump, as requested by the OP, that shows him being racist against Blacks.
This speaks for itself.
- His real estate company, Trump Management Corporation was sued by the Justice Department for racial discrimination (refusing to rent to Black people in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island) for quoting Blacks different rental terms than Whites and lying and stating that apartments were not available.
- He took out full page ads calling for the death penalty for Black teenage suspects, who were later exonerated for the crime they were accused of.
- John O'Donnell, former President of Trump Plaza Hotel and casino, wrote that Trump once said " Laziness is a trait in Blacks. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”
Although Trump called O'Donnell a disgruntled employee, he did NOT deny the quotes attributed to him, in fact, he said in a later interview:
“Nobody has had worse things written about them than me,” Trump says. “And here I am. The stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true. The guy’s a ****ing loser.
- His unprecedented attacks on the sitting President, who also happens to be the 1st Black President (at least partially so), for everything from his religion to his nationality.
- He does not call out his supporters for blatant racism. Evidenced by his failure to immediately disavow David Duke and the KKK (who are responsible for the lynchings of approximately 3,500 Blacks, with the most recent being 1968), or condemn physical assaults against protesters.
Then there's this quote:
- “And if you look at black and African American youth, to a point where they’ve never done more poorly. There’s no spirit.”
...and this one:
- “Sadly, because president Obama has done such a poor job as president, you won’t see another black president for generations!”
There you go. Maybe you missed it the first 3 times it was posted.
But...I honestly have a feeling that Trump could say "F*ck those lazy, monkey ni**ers", and the usual suspects would come in here and say we're all playing the race card and that he has done nothing wrong.

Besides, Blacks would benefit most from a Trump Presidency, he wants to give back all the jobs the illegals took from the black community. Why are they upset?
