Trump called Biden "slow" and "low IQ". If Biden was a person of color, you left-wingers would have called Trump a racist. The point is, Trump says stuff like this all the time regardless of skin color. The only people making a big deal about this are the racist themselves.
I think the problem people are having is they are treating racism like and black or white issue . I don't think it is that simple. We have scales for pain, earthquake intensity, movie ratings, attractiveness, etc... There should probably be a rating scale for racism. 1 being someone that does not see race or consider races in anything, (this person may not exist), 10 being full out David Duke white supremacist and splitting the difference with your adorable grandparent that says racist things somewhere in the middle. I would put Trump somewhere around a 7. Given his age he is like your grandparent that he often blurts out racist things. He says stupid things like Jewish people being good with money. Blacks can't manage money, etc... I am sure many people his age believe these stereotypes. He does exceed the adorable grandparent scale for me with his birtherism and the go back to your country comments. Some of his comments regarding immigrants and immigration cross the line but it had to say if it is for theatrics to rally the base or if he truly believes it.
What the hell does skin color have to do with what part of the USA they came from? I never in my life saw Minnesota nor even NY state as the states of only blacks. Those 4 women whine far too much and are aided by our lousy stinking mainstream media.
Trump is a populist. He will say what ever he thinks will gain vote. He is currently celebrating racism. As the "send her back" folk encourage him further, he will find new means to 'win with racism'. What's worse? Trump for legitimising racism or the original racism that your country is polluted by? Difficult one! I'd say dead heat. You're b*ggered! I'll leave you to it! This forum is after all packed full of racists that I really can't abide.
America, love it or leave it. I'm directing this to everyone so please feel insulted or triggered as appropriate.
Wrong! Claims there are no Latinos in Trump's Cabinet. Wrong. Alexander Acosta, is Latino. Only son of a Cuban Refugee. That research took me all of two minutes. So sad people look for what the want to see, but not read it through to make sure it's valid. Yawn.
the ol' take your ball and go home tactic. works every time. He's a bigot. He uses the very same racist tropes he is excoriating four brown congresswomen of using. But now worries, I get how much better it is to ignore such utter intellectual bankruptcy, after all its unamerican to criticize America, let alone the lowlife inhabiting the white house.
Nice mental contortion. If "all about the benjamins" is an anti semitic trope about jews influence in washington, then its fair to say that "go back to where you came from" is a racist trope about black people going back to africa. The only people excusing trump's disgusting bigotry are those that agree with the vile garbage he's spewing.
Technically in the old definition Trump isn't a racist. He just uses racism as a tool to gain power and consolidate his base. Hard to actually tell if Trump really believes in anything.
And exactly how would you categorize " Make America Great Again" other than the obvious that whine, whine, America isn't great now. And of course we know the hidden message that America could not posdibly be great because it elected a black president who was ( according to Trump) not even an America.
Gee imagine that. anti-racists making a big deal about a racist president. Who'da thunk? And FYI - most racists don't make a big deal about their racism. After all they are the superior beings so it must be cool.
