"...if someone who says Mexican immigrants in America are disproportionately likely to be rapists, argues that Muslims should not be allowed into the United States, and repeats sleazy urban legends about the behavior of American Muslims and black people is not a racist, then the word has no meaning."
Illegal aliens aren't Mexican "immigrants". He said nothing about them being disproportionately likely to be rapists either. He said that Mexico is sending us their rapists. Legal immigrants aren't send here they come on their own. Mexico is encouraging their criminals to come here and that would include some rapists, etc. That's not to say that all Mexican illegal aliens are rapists though and Trump never said that.
One random 3am tweet does not make Donald Trump a racist. Though that graphic on black-on-white crime was grossly inaccurate, the highlighted portions were about numbers of black-on-black crime vs. blacks killed by cops. It was a rapid-fire response to people tweeting about cops killing blacks. So he did not take the time in the middle of the night to research a graphic on social media...Has he said anything at all in his speeches about black people, or anything in his position papers on his website? No. Nothing except pointing out that black youth unemployment is 50% in some areas, and they need the jobs he will create. Hillary and Bernie only talk about the black community in terms of prison and drugs. Then what? People not in prison still need a livelihood.
Notice that black people who've personally known and been friends with Trump for years endorse him--Herschel Walker, Mike Tyson, Omarosa, Pastor Mark Burns, his spokesperson Katrina Pierson. (And Trump housed Jennifer Hudson and her entire family for free in his building after the death of her family. Are those the actions of a racist?) They are not politicians so have nothing to gain professionally from a Trump presidency, and only ridicule and scorn to gain from their own community. But we're supposed to ignore their judgment over the opinions of random 19 year-old activists who think the fate of black Americans is somehow tied to Mexican illegals and Muslims from countries that still own slaves?
There are 4o million, legal, eligible to vote hispanics in the USA.
(and there is another nine million lawful permanent residents that are eligible to become citizens).
That is a whole lot of don't matter.
Hispanics have a low voter turnout. Only 12 million of them voted in the last election. Compared to non-Hispanic citizens in this country they are merely a drop in the bucket.
For the sake of this threat topic, the OP acknowledged that Trump had said anti-Hispanic and anti-Muslim things and that he/she wanted to hear if Trump had said anything racist against blacks.
Does ANYONE want to discuss the specific examples provided?
I tried to start a discussion in post #151.
Are these three events true?
If they are do they provide an indication that Trump is a racist?
Was there a Trumplet convention somewhere that included a seminar perhaps titled ....."Distorting Reality : How to Bring Knowledge Possessed by Non-Trumplets Down to your Level" ?
And the main point was to instruct Trumplets to see if, solely by repeatedly questioning and demanding proof of actual facts, they could somehow impugn the content of what is actually known ? (Known by informed people anyways.)
Seriously - seems like every Trumplet here has the same laughable strategy.....just demand proof of the obvious, then deny it when it's presented.
But this isn't Trumplet University. You Trumplets are responsible for remediating your own ignorance.
We are up to post 170 now and this could have been ended on post 2, but still no evidence posted. That means there probably isn't any.
It's been posted hundreds of times, and all you have to do is search google. Which, really, anyone deigning to post on political subjects should do anyways.
Like I said, this isn't Trumplet University - if you can't be bothered to take the effort to be even the least bit informed.......why should someone else make that effort for you ? Whether or not you remain ignorant will be your responsibility, not someone else's.
You're the one making the statement, so it's up to you to back it up.
The fact that you won't do so and only come back with insults and name-calling means you don't have an answer. Why didn't you just say you can't answer the question or just not respond instead of embarrassing yourself?
