Google is your friend AND mine:

- 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!”


Need more?

Just because he says "He has a great relationship with the Blacks." Doesn't mean its true. Unless you count Omarosa and Ben Carson...which most people don't, because they suck. Lol

The Dems have to keep the Black vote and race is the sure way to do that.

With Romney the Blacks were told that Romney was going to put them back in chains.

It's all about keeping the Black vote.

I wouldn't even call what he said about Mexicans and Muslims "racist". What was racist about it?

When it comes to Mexicans and the border, the truth of the matter is, we have to clamp down on ILLEGAL immigration coming thru the very porous mexican border where tons of drugs and illegals are making their way thru. He's right. Sure he could have chose better words when he mentioned how they're sending rapists and criminals because not all fit that category. What he and many hard working Americans are angry about is the fact that many of them don't belong here in the first place yet have the audacity to commit heinous crimes once here! We should also not being using tax payer money to pay for their children, housing, healthcare, schooling, food, etc.

When it comes to Muslims from the middle east, again he could have chosen a better way to say it but the truth of the matter is, there are many extremist who want to make their way here to do nothing more than cause death and destruction to Americans. Placing a ban on non citizens from the middle east until there is a more thorough vetting process in place to weed out potential terrorist threats doesnt sound like a bad idea to me. Surely it will never happen as this country opens its arms to every tom dick and harry because we don't want to "offend" or "hurt anyones feelings", but he's absolutely right when he says "without strong borders we don't have a country!"


Good post louie.

Trump is speaking in basic truths that really get the crowd going.
We have a major problem at the southern border.
We have a major problem with muslim extremists.
We have a problem with black guys breaking the law and Police coming down on them. Ok Trump doesn't talk about that but it is a problem that is getting bigger and more violent and angry.

None of these things are racist, it might not be PC to point out and acknowledge these problems because they are not pretty but something needs to be done and Trump is the only one talking about them.

I wonder if the black community feels left out by Trump? He has ganged up on extremist muslims and illegal mexicans but hasn't mentioned black people so they are rioting at his rallies to get noticed??

Well, he has, but more importantly, it's completely part of who he is, and how he was raised. It starts with his father:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ps-racist-dad/

(Don't like the source, there are plenty of other sources)

Here's some other examples.
Trump's Racism Is Nothing New: 4 Times He Got Away With Anti-Black Smears | Alternet

Obviously, if you are looking for him to come right out and say "All N-words are bad people and Slavery is good", you won't find that, but his rhetoric is there....

There is this tasty nugget:

This one has some great examples:
Staggering History of Trump's Attacks on African-Americans: including DOJ suing him for Discrimination - The Ring of Fire Network

By the way, since the Hillary haters are so fond of considering someone guilty for being "under investigation", I guess that makes him guilty too, since he's been investigated many times.


But really, who needs all those examples. Just look at his followers. They are basically looking to find anyone and everyone to blame for why the White, middle-aged, white guy can't have a free ride anymore (BTW, I'm a white middle aged white-guy). People who love the American dream and all it stands for want to work for their dreams, and want to lift others up so they have the same chance. People like Trump and his supporters prefer to stack the deck, so they can have guaranteed returns...

Not a Trump backer but a backer of the truth. Truth is treason to the morally bankrupt dems.
I agree the retweet was not a racist thing. Although it was an example that he has a habit of not fully checking things out before reacting.

Also being against illegal immigration doesn't make him a bigot and neither should suggesting a halt on Muslim immigrants until we have a better system for vetting.

I did post a sweet sweet lying racist tweet from him though. So far you're like the rest; just going Full Trumplet by ignoring it (and any other facts you don't care for.)
That's a long-winded "no".

Just because you don't see or hear a tree fall in the forest, it does not mean that the tree never fell.

The problem with the left's propaganda is they have nothing new to post and it's always more of the same old crap that means nothing to most people. They're not going to change anyone's mind but what they do is reinforce their own hate and biases. They would call Mother Teresa a racist if they think it furthers their agenda. It used to be their big gun but it doesn't mean anything anymore since they've overused it so much. That race card is old and torn and not legible anymore.

Thanks for that.
Even if the rest wasn't clear enough indication, Trump saying "the Blacks" in any context is definitive evidence for me.
