Hard to take serious if they don't mention the Central Park 5 case.
Agreed. I also noticed that they used lots of examples where it could go either way, but they didn't hit on the hard racist actions he's done over the past. Central Park 5, those black people he refused to rent properties to, the list can go on.
The Central Park 5.....how was his calling for the death penalty for the rapists, racist?
Because they weren't guilty. But, because they were black, Trump wanted them put to death, even though they were innocent. And, if you don't like the Wiki link for this, I'm sure I can find another one, but you should be able to do that yourself. No, the Central Park 5 were NOT guilty.
Central Park jogger case - Wikipedia
The assailant
In 2001, convicted serial rapist and murderer Matias Reyes was already serving a
life sentence for other crimes, but he was not at that point a suspect in the Central Park attack on Meili. Reyes met Wise in an upstate New York prison, the
Auburn Correctional Facility.
[39][51] In 2002, Reyes declared that he was 17 years old on the night of April 19, 1989 when he assaulted and raped the jogger. He said that he had acted alone.
[52][53] At the time of the attack, he was working at an East Harlem
bodega on
Third Avenue and 102nd Street, and living in a van on the street.
[53][54] He provided a detailed account of the attack, details of which were corroborated by other evidence.
[5] The DNA evidence confirmed his participation in the rape, identifying him as the sole contributor of the
semen found in and on the victim "to a factor of one in 6,000,000,000 people".
[5] DNA analysis of the strands of hair found in Richardson's underpants established that the hair did not belong to the victim.
[55] The victim had been tied up with her T-shirt in a distinctive fashion that Reyes used again on later victims.
[5]
Reyes was not prosecuted because the
statute of limitations had passed, and thus his admissions did not place him at further risk.
[39][56] Reyes had been convicted of raping four other women and killing one of them, and a defense psychiatrist in his trial had concluded that Reyes was not capable of telling the truth.

Recommendation to vacate charges
Yusef Salaam in 2009, seven years after his conviction was vacated
Reyes's confession, plus DNA evidence confirming his participation in the rape, led the office of
District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau to recommend
vacating the convictions of the defendants originally found guilty and sentenced to prison.
[5] Supporters of the five defendants again claimed that their confessions had been coerced by police. An examination of the inconsistencies between their confessions led the prosecutor to question the veracity of their confessions. DA Morgenthau's office wrote:
