I get it, this is one of those threads where someone asks a question, gets the answer, and then pretends to not see the answer, or that the answer is somehow invalid. Gotcha.


There have been specific examples of things he has said and done posted right here. I, as a Black person, took the bait and even listed a few examples myself. For those who need ADDITIONAL answers, they have been encouraged to do some research because Google is free.

Despite this, I keep seeing Trumpeters say "He has done NOTHING!"


If nothing else, y'all are consistent.

Maybe Trump should emphasize how his crackdown on illegal immigration would possibly help blacks.

Now,did Trump tell his real estate company in the 70's to discriminate against blacks or was it someone lower on the chain who was doing it and he was unaware?

It's all about keeping the Black vote.
Over the last 40 years, a Democrat (including total winners such as Mondale and Dukakis) has received at least 88% (often a lot more) of the black vote in every single presidential election. I don't think Democrats are worried about the black vote.

See, that's the thing. They have to go way back to the 70s to find anything and even then, it's not something he said or did himself directly.
How about that Hillary getting a child molester off from being convicted and then laughing and bragging about it? I think that happened in the 70s too.

He was very clear, he wanted to stop Muslims from entering the country for ANY reason. If you're a top executive of Exxonmobil, and happen to be Muslim (and not a US Citizen), you can't come to US to meet with your colleagues at HQ in Houston. It was quite literally one of the dumbest things anyone has ever said, and it totally negates anyone who says he understands business, or suggest that he might make the American Economy "great again". he's clueless of how business works in the real-world.

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.
That it "doesn't mean anything to most people" is not an argument against Trump's racism.

If anything, it lays bare the fact that there are a lot of people who feel as he does about blacks, women and any number of other groups.
How else to explain the justifications for, and defense of, his horrendous behavior and statements?

Let me just let you in on something, Mr. Drama Queen Lover who doesn't care about the facts.
Again and bolded for emphasis
Not a Trump backer but a backer
Read much?

No, all it does is reinforce the fact that liberals use the race card for every situation and against every candidate they don't like. You can't use it anymore with any effect. That's the truth, even though libs don't like to hear it. Every Republican running for office has been called a racist for the last 30-40 years. It simply doesn't work anymore.
