Zone1 Liberals: You Claim Trump Is "Racist" ? How ? What ? When ?

[protectionist]

"case in point"

you're not posting a quote. you don't have one. Same as all the others.
Ho hum.

Trump is often very imprecise with his language. This allows for those that want to paint him as a racist to do so.

Also, Trump will trash talk anyone he views as against him regardless of race.

This sums up Trump pretty much. I think the guy, on a personal level, is a borderline narcissistic sexist asshole. He's not well spoken and the MSM, from day 1, has done nothing but over exam ever little thing the man has ever said or done to attack his character (which doesn't take much digging actually). Trump has been out of office for 2 years, and the MSM can't stop reporting on the guy. They can't and probably will NEVER stop. If the dumb ass could have stayed off of twitter, sat his ego down during his term, and stopped feeding the MSM trolls material after material, he may have actually won a second term.

Donald Trump’s long history of racism, from the 1970s to 2020​

Trump has repeatedly claimed he’s “the least racist person.” His history suggests otherwise.
On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly made explicitly racist and otherwise bigoted remarks, from calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists, to proposing a ban on all Muslims entering the US, to suggesting a judge should recuse himself from a case solely because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.

The trend has continued into his presidency. From stereotyping a Black reporter to pandering to white supremacists after they held a violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, to making a joke about the Trail of Tears, Trump hasn’t stopped with racist acts after his 2016 election.

Most recently, Trump has called the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus the “Chinese virus” and “kung flu” — racist terms that tap into the kind of xenophobia that he latched onto during his 2016 presidential campaign; Trump’s own adviser, Kellyanne Conway, previously called “kung flu” a “highly offensive” term. And Trump insinuated that Sen. Kamala Harris, who’s Black, “doesn’t meet the requirements” to run for vice president — a repeat of the birther conspiracy theory that he perpetuated about former President Barack Obama.

This is nothing new for Trump. In fact, the very first time Trump appeared in the pages of the New York Times, back in the 1970s, was when the US Department of Justice sued him for racial discrimination. Since then, he has repeatedly appeared in newspaper pages across the world as he inspired more similar controversies.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

• 1973: The US Department of Justice — under the Nixon administration, out of all administrations — sued the Trump Management Corporation for violating the Fair Housing Act. Federal officials found evidence that Trump had refused to rent to Black tenants and lied to Black applicants about whether apartments were available, among other accusations. Trump said the federal government was trying to get him to rent to welfare recipients. In the aftermath, he signed an agreement in 1975 agreeing not to discriminate to renters of color without admitting to previous discrimination.
• 1980s: Kip Brown, a former employee at Trump’s Castle, accused another one of Trump’s businesses of discrimination. “When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” Brown said. “It was the eighties, I was a teenager, but I remember it: They put us all in the back.”
• 1989: In a controversial case that’s been characterized as a modern-day lynching, four Black teenagers and one Latino teenager — the “Central Park Five” — were accused of attacking and raping a jogger in New York City. Trump immediately took charge in the case, running an ad in local papers demanding, “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!” The teens’ convictions were later vacated after they spent seven to 13 years in prison, and the city paid $41 million in a settlement to the teens. But Trump in October 2016 said he still believes they’re guilty, despite the DNA evidence to the contrary.
• 1991: A book by John O’Donnell, former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quoted Trump’s criticism of a Black accountant: “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. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” Trump later said in a 1997 Playboy interview that “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true.”
• 1992: The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino had to pay a $200,000 fine because it transferred Black and women dealers off tables to accommodate a big-time gambler’s prejudices.
• 1993: In congressional testimony, Trump said that some Native American reservations operating casinos shouldn’t be allowed because “they don’t look like Indians to me.”
• 2000: In opposition to a casino proposed by the St. Regis Mohawk tribe, which he saw as a financial threat to his casinos in Atlantic City, Trump secretly ran a series of ads suggesting the tribe had a “record of criminal activity [that] is well documented.”
• 2004: In season two of The Apprentice, Trump fired Kevin Allen, a Black contestant, for being overeducated. “You’re an unbelievably talented guy in terms of education, and you haven’t done anything,” Trump said on the show. “At some point you have to say, ‘That’s enough.’”
• 2005: Trump publicly pitched what was essentially The Apprentice: White People vs. Black People. He said he “wasn’t particularly happy” with the most recent season of his show, so he was considering “an idea that is fairly controversial — creating a team of successful African Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world.”
• 2010: In 2010, there was a huge national controversy over the “Ground Zero Mosque” — a proposal to build a Muslim community center in Lower Manhattan, near the site of the 9/11 attacks. Trump opposed the project, calling it “insensitive,” and offered to buy out one of the investors in the project. On The Late Show With David Letterman, Trump argued, referring to Muslims, “Well, somebody’s blowing us up. Somebody’s blowing up buildings, and somebody’s doing lots of bad stuff.”
• 2011: Trump played a big role in pushing false rumors that Obama — the country’s first Black president — was not born in the US. He claimed to send investigators to Hawaii to look into Obama’s birth certificate. Obama later released his birth certificate, calling Trump a “carnival barker.” The research has found a strong correlation between birtherism, as the conspiracy theory is called, and racism. But Trump has reportedly continued pushing this conspiracy theory in private.
• 2011: While Trump suggested that Obama wasn’t born in the US, he also argued that maybe Obama wasn’t a good enough student to have gotten into Columbia or Harvard Law School, and demanded Obama release his university transcripts. Trump claimed, “I heard he was a terrible student. Terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?”

The ironic thing is Joe is one of the biggest antisemites in the forum.

Joey is the purest, darkest example of pure and undiluted EVIL on this site. Joey is evil on the level of Lavernty Beria, or Vasily Blohkin.

You're using fake info.
If Trump were racist why did he date a black girl?

And why did he get an award alongside Rosa Parks? Why was he praised by Jesse Jackson?

Blacks were doing better under him than ever - lowest unemployment rate on record, and real wages of lower earners were up for the first time in decades.

They still would have stole it from him.

Prior to his first presidential campaign, Donald Trump was associated with comments and actions that were considered racist by contemporary critics.

WHAT "comments & actions" ?

Black activists like Old Lady think that blacks have exclusive claim to having their rights restricted.

 

[LilOlLady]

Black activists like Old Lady think that blacks have exclusive claim to having their rights restricted.

I am not black for starters. And I don't know who the jew girl is??? Blacks have had their rights restricted since they landed on this continent on sale ships. Black codes and Jim Crow laws were laws passed at different periods in the southern United States to enforce racial segregation and curtail the power of Black voters. After the Civil War ended in 1865, some states passed black codes that severely limited the rights of Black people, many of whom had been enslaved.
While the nation has undoubtedly made progress, entrenched structural racism continues to corrupt American democracy and preserve racial inequality.

All in the past. Now there are policies against WHITES that give blacks an unfair advantage.

Right and wrong. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE knows the historical atrocities.

HOWEVER, the black community has to begin to accept that those racist laws, jim crow, redlining, are gone and now have to begin to accept that their personal choices are potentially culpable for their own position in life.

Racial relations in this country is like a bad marriage that's in counseling. The one parter was an asshole for a long time, but has made changes to correct the wrongs and move forward in the relationship. The black community is the partner that keeps bringing up old hurts and wounds from the past that have long been accounted for an abolished and should have been FORGIVEN. But oh no. That can't happen. The black community has to lean on the only crutch it has, and that is the historical atrocities to account for why the black community is where it's at today. That doesn't help, at all.

That doesn't mean that racism is gone. It isn't. That's shameful. But does America have to be reminded every single time about the past, jim crow laws, etc., every time a racist acts like a racist. Of course not.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.

"racist laws, jim crow, redlining, are gone"?? Not gone and it is stilled practiced under disquise. I am a person of color disabled in a wheel chair, not black, and everywhere I go, doctors, ER, shopping, etc I experience racism. Sometimes it is bold and sometimes it is subtle. Only white people believe, for the sake of the insecurities, it is gone.

OK , all you liberals who like to go around saying that Donald Trump is a racist, I have a question for you. Upon what do you base that statement ?
Please state one thing that Trump has said or done within the last 10 years, that would give you that impression ?
(because I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about)

You're all racist. So racist you're cutting of your noses to spite your face. How? By being anti immigrant. Right now our economy needs workers and can't find them. I think we could be vetting the refuges and mexicans who want to come here, strategically letting them in and putting them where they're needed. In my town maybe between all the McD's and Starbucks and Walmarts etc. We need 1000 immigrants to do these low wage workers. But they should be paid an american wage. Don't lower wages. Pay these people what you pay Americans.

Social Security needs workers paying in. Anti immigration now is stupid. If the economy takes a downturn slow down immigration. Manage that shit properly.

1. One of the reasons for jobs going unfilled is boosted unemployment payments that people have been getting from the government. Why would people work, when they can get free money from Uncle Biden.

2. Harms of Illegal Immigration

1. Americans lose jobs. (especially Whites due to affirmative action).
2. Wage reduction.
3. Tax $ lost (due to off books work + lower wages paid).
4. Remittance $$$ lost. ($138 Billion/year).
5. Tax $$ lost to immigrants on welfare.
6. Increased crime.
7. Increased traffic congestion.
8. Increased pollution.
9. Overcrowding in hospital ERs.
10. Overcrowding in recreational facilities.
11. Overcrowding in government offices.
12. Overcrowding in schools.
13. Decrease in funds available for entitlements.
14. Cultural erosion.
15. Overuse of scarce resources (oil, gasoline, fresh water, jobs, electricity, food, etc)
16. Introduction of foreign diseases
17. Influx of terrorists.
18. Wildfires
19. Litter
20. Housing saturation.
21. Excessively high housing costs.
