Another day, another piece of evidence that the GOP is the American hotbed of people who are okay with racists in power.

Republicans can't dismiss this anymore or try to derail the conversation by pointing to Democrats from 80+ years ago.

The GOP argument has always been that the racists are outliers who could never advance up the party and would never have the support of the Republican base, so minority views about the GOP are unfounded....

Too bad Trump has thrown that argument into the mud with his own vile history which the Republican base have actually accepted and defended. So much for minority fears being unfounded.

So, with this obvious lie being put to bed, is it time for Republican voters to just accept that the gut feeling that minority voters have had for the GOP has been right all along? Is it time for Republicans to accept that the overwhelming support for Democrats from Black and Brown voters is due to not wanting to support the modern pro-racism platform that the GOP?

Let's accept facts, that at the moment when Republicans could have put to bed the idea that they are a party that shares philosophical branch who share

We're all racists now. It means nothing thanks to misuse of such terms by the Left.

UGH I'm so tired of the racist charges against Trump and the associations made by the Left that if you like Trump then you are a racist.



There was a time in this country when it was common place for people to refer to black people in a derogatory way. It wasn't right but it was more socially acceptable. Trump is from this generation where words that would destroy a career today were tossed around in jest and in racist ways.

Have you ever watched "Blazing Saddles" or most any movie from that time period? Every single minority group had names for them and some were not nice.



Trump is an old guy. He should know better and he should be acting more Presidential but he is who he is.

As for secret tapes like Omarosa claims to have were Trump uses the "N" word I would like to know the context of how the word was used. Did he use it to berate a black person or was he talking to some guys and quoting some lines from his favorite Quentin Tarantino movie?




If I was a minority I would be more concerned about how the Democrat party has seemingly dropped me and my people in favor of championing for the rights of illegal aliens.

Obsessed with racism, and being Black, huh? Maybe expand your horizons, and be obsessed with aliens, or zombies instead? We're tired of claims of racism anyway.

^^^^^^This. The Dems know they will get the Black vote, so can ignore them.

Donald Trump and the GOP have done more to actually help the black community in the last 2 years than democrats have in 25. If Donald Trump is a black hating KKK leader he sure does suck at it.
