    Oh I don't know? Maybe in the same way that restricting travel from the epicenter of the virus China was racist?

    He did. I read the statement before the Trump Campaign took it down. I saw the rally where he aknolwedged in his own words, affiriming the language of said statement, that he did indeed intend to stop Muslims from entering the country.

    My position is based on his own words.

    Those are the kinds of gaffs us old people make forgetting how the landscape of language has changed.

    In my 70 years, if I were a public person, I've given about as many gaffs as anyone else. I'm from the same era as Biden, when blacks were called negroes, and it was considered a polite word.

    Proof positive that Biden is not a racist is that the vast majority of Blacks voted for him, and still support him.

    But Trump beats us all. Over and over and over and over again, Trump can't help himself, he always tells us who he is.

    Here's what Omarosa said:

    “As the only African American woman in this [Trump's] White House, as a senior staff and assistant to the president, I have seen things that have made me uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have affected me deeply and emotionally, that has affected my community and my people,” --- Omarosa Manigault

    Now, there are numerous pictures of Trump chumming it up with Al Sharpton. But what is not obvious is that Trump uses people for expedience. I recall when Trump said 'democrats were better for America', long before he decided to run as a republican.

    And here is Al Sharpton, talking about Trump:



    Here is a truncated list, can't get them all due to the 16,000 character limit.
    (Source Vox.com)

    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.

    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?”

    Trump launched his campaign in 2015 by calling Mexican immigrants “rapists” who are “bringing crime” and “bringing drugs” to the US. His campaign was largely built on building a wall to keep these immigrants out of the US.

    As a candidate in 2015, Trump called for a ban on all Muslims coming into the US. His administration eventually implemented a significantly watered-down version of the policy.

    When asked at a 2016 Republican debate whether all 1.6 billion Muslims hate the US, Trump said, “I mean a lot of them. I mean a lot of them.”

    He argued in 2016 that Judge Gonzalo Curiel — who was overseeing the Trump University lawsuit — should recuse himself from the case because of his Mexican heritage and membership in a Latino lawyers association. House Speaker Paul Ryan, who endorsed Trump, later called such comments “the textbook definition of a racist comment.”

    Trump has been repeatedly slow to condemn white supremacists who endorse him, and he regularly retweeted messages from white supremacists and neo-Nazis during his presidential campaign.
    He tweeted and later deleted an image that showed Hillary Clinton in front of a pile of money and by a Jewish Star of David that said, “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” The tweet had some very obvious anti-Semitic imagery, but Trump insisted that the star was a sheriff’s badge, and said his campaign shouldn’t have deleted it.

    Trump has repeatedly referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as “Pocahontas,” using her controversial — and later walked-back — claims to Native American heritage as a punchline.

    At the 2016 Republican convention, Trump officially seized the mantle of the “law and order” candidate — an obvious dog whistle playing to white fears of Black crime, even though crime in the US is historically low. His speeches, comments, and executive actions after he took office have continued this line of messaging.

    In a pitch to Black voters in 2016, Trump said, “You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?”

    Trump stereotyped a Black reporter at a press conference in February 2017. When April Ryan asked him if he plans to meet and work with the Congressional Black Caucus, he repeatedly asked her to set up the meeting — even as she insisted that she’s “just a reporter.”

    In the week after white supremacist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, Trump repeatedly said that “many sides” and “both sides” were to blame for the violence and chaos that ensued — suggesting that the white supremacist protesters were morally equivalent to counter protesters who stood against racism. He also said that there were “some very fine people” among the white supremacists. All of this seemed like a dog whistle to white supremacists — and many of them took it as one, with white nationalist Richard Spencer praising Trump for “defending the truth.”

    Throughout 2017, Trump repeatedly attacked NFL players who, by kneeling or otherwise silently protesting during the national anthem, demonstrated against systemic racism in America.

    Trump reportedly said in 2017 that people who came to the US from Haiti “all have AIDS,” and he lamented that people who came to the US from Nigeria would never “go back to their huts” once they saw America. The White House denied that Trump ever made these comments.

    Speaking about immigration in a bipartisan meeting in January 2018, Trump reportedly asked, in reference to Haiti and African countries, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” He then reportedly suggested that the US should take more people from countries like Norway. The implication: Immigrants from predominantly white countries are good, while immigrants from predominantly Black countries are bad.

    Trump denied making the “shithole” comments, although some senators present at the meeting said they happened. The White House, meanwhile, suggested that the comments, like Trump’s remarks about the NFL protests, will play well to his base. The only connection between Trump’s remarks about the NFL protests and his “shithole” comments is race.

    Trump mocked Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign, again calling her “Pocahontas” in a 2019 tweet before adding, “See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!” The capitalized “TRAIL” is seemingly a reference to the Trail of Tears — a horrific act of ethnic cleansing in the 19th century in which Native Americans were forcibly relocated, causing thousands of deaths.

    Trump tweeted later that year that several Black and brown members of Congress — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — are “from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe” and that they should “go back” to those countries. It’s a common racist trope to say that Black and brown people, particularly immigrants, should go back to their countries of origin. Three of the four members of Congress whom Trump targeted were born in the US.

    I italicize my quotes, so people will know they are quotes. I thought smart people knew that quotes are either tagged or italicized.

    I didn't bother with the link because most of you guys don't click on it anyway.

    If you'd ask for the source, I'd gladly give it to you.

    That being said, you'll find that in most of my posts, I do put the link.

    What's amusing is you are not concerned with the substance of the post.

    Poor feller, Trump lives in your head 24/7. Now how about Biden’s numerous and recorded racism? Not just hearsay.

    Trash posts have trash substance... that is why people don't click on it.. one can read the first few unsubstantiated claims to know it not worthy of reading. Vox is farther left than Barry Bonds........ as far as your Vox article.... you would have a hard time proving any one of those "opinion" claims in it...

    You do realize your video has Alfred Charles Sharpton Jr running his mouth on there.. if he is your spokesman then there is no hope for you.

    So banning travel while the border is wide open makes sense to who?

    But those people pouring over the border and getting whipped by our racist border patrol won't be staying very long, so it's OK. They're just here to collect their $450,000 checks and then they'll go home. The faster we can get those checks out, the safer we'll all be.

    May I please add......
    banning travel while providing travel for the illegal invaders within the US ""while the border is wide open makes sense to who?"" If someone from the banned countries want to come in through Mexico we provide them transportation and not vaccinate them or test them... You can't argue with that logic can you?

    Mr. Sharpton's characterization of narcissism is half-right: Trump is no mere narcissist. I think it runs far deeper than that. Megalomania comes to mind. He is also correct when he calls him an opportunist - but that just means he's a perfectly-suited politician. And it takes one to know one, reverend.

    As for birtherism, show me the racism?

    Anybody who even criticized St. Obama - even strictly on substantive policy matters - was labelled a "racist." In fact, the term was so overused, they had to come up with a new one: white supremacist (cue spooky sound effects).

    And let's remember where birtherism came from: Mr. Obama's own literary agent who had erroneously published that he was "born in Kenya" and "lived in Indonesia and Hawai'i."

    Now, the fact that Trump seized on Obama's birthplace and accordant eligibility to be president is certainly evidence of that opportunism Sharpton references, but where is the racism? Obama's own publisher stated in writing he was not born in the United States! It was they who erroneously advanced the notion that Obama was born outside of the United States.

    Now, I believe once the Obama White House released the Hawai'i birth cert., which was authenticated by the state and corroborated by birth announcements in the local papers, the birther movement - at that point spearheaded by Trump - should have died. But you know that's not how politics work. You know that. Sharpton knows that. We all know that.

    But racism? Sure, Trump is likely as racist as the next old white guy - and that includes the current occupant of the White House. To pretend otherwise is folly.

    But heck, even the Rev. Jackson once stated when walking alone at night in New York that if he heard footsteps behind him, he was relieved if he turned around to see white people.

    I thought I might have earned the benefit of the doubt with you: I am reporting my recollections in good faith. You can call my recollections utter BS if it makes you feel better, but I am happy to back up my claims.

    You can read the press release that the campaign hastily removed from its website here: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/05/08...after-reporter-grills-spicer-in-briefing.html

    You can watch Mr. Trump himself affirming the content of that release here: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...l-muslims-entering-us-san-bernardino-shooting

    Interesting that you give cover to Biden's racism. What would motivate you to do so? You seem genuinely interested in correctly criticizing racism.

    Trump is from that generation, too. So should he not enjoy the same lattitude you grant to Mr. Biden? And presumably yourself?

    Fallacy. The only thing this proves is that a majority of blacks vote D.

    While ignoring the long history of racist remarks and policy positions over five decades in government by Mr. Biden.

    Trump was only 1/2 racist... Obama was only 1/2 black.

    Can't stand the idea races are mixing, so much so you had to share this with the forum? Life in 2021 America must be very difficult.

    Biden is correct in restricting travel from some Africa countries until we know more about the Omicron variant.

    Fallacy. Argumentum ad hominem: I am not the topic of this thread.

    Please do try to keep up: Race is everything in 2021.

    In fact, Sniffy McFingers itself will tell you the only qualification for the VEEP job was brown skin around a vagina.

    But it was xenophobic hysteria when Trump did it.

    Blue Shoppers at Hater Joes!

    Racist Joe Biden Bans Travel From Africa.

    [​IMG]
    Not Jim Crow but Joe Eagle!​
    "If you are able to travel freely to America, then you ain't black," said Biden. "We have a new COVID variant or something like that. All the Africans have gotta stay out."

    Ahh, the old 'lives in your head' retort.

    Uhhh, in case you didn't get the memo, he's running in 2024, attends rallies, very much fair game, therefore.

    You haven't refuted the substance of the comment.

    What, Biden gaffs? What old fart doesn't? We come from an era where the term 'negro' was polite.

    But, Trump has a long history of racism and/or bigotry, a veritable racist rap sheet that blows away Biden's occasional gaffs.

    Evidence provided on request.
