Donald Trump Being Called Racist

[childeye 2]

Sanders claiming world population control would be well served to fund abortions in those nations which are all minority races... is racist. It is this topic...

Population control is not the topic. Just because world population growth is happening faster in poorer countries doesn't qualify as prejudice. Prejudice is imaginary in that it is a pre-conceived opinion that is not based on any legitimate criteria.

No, racism is. And since a presidential candidate has indicated he would be for aborting a whole bunch of Black and Latino babies in 3rd world nations, then the racist in this presidential race is not who many people seem to think it is.

I am voting for Trump... because I think he is the best candidate out of the 20+ that are running. Have a great day.

Perhaps you should post the actual words of Bernie Sanders that intimate what you claim. That way you don't come across as simply repeating propaganda.

President Trump is a terrible racist for bringing record low unemployment for African Americans and Hispanic Americans.

What did Donald do to specifically lower unemployment rates for African Americans and Hispanic Americans?

Vox carries more weight than the President’s actions?

Vox has a sourced list of the president's words and actions which taken as a whole cause him to be deemed as a racist.

What about the First Step Act?

Donald did a good thing there.

What about his Economic support for Inner cities?

I haven't seen that - got an example or two?

 

[DaisyDay]

One of them worked with him every day... literally, was with him all the time.

Doing what?

Others just by extension but if the claims of racism are true, they would have felt it the same way my wife feels it when there are comments and looks and sounds and other expressions by men because she is an engineer. They (those who worked for Trump) never felt that. And like I said, many people who NOW claim Trump is a racist were once very good friends with him and only began to make this claim when his political views differed from theirs. That is when the cries of racism began, not before.

You've spoken to 100 or so people you know well who have worked with Donald and you've discussed his racism or lack thereof with each of them?

Did you check the link I gave you?

Built a better economy and brought back jobs.

Built a better economy and brought back jobs.

Then nothing specifically for blacks and Hispanics?

You didn’t watch the debates?

Trump boosts federal resources to Opportunity Zones, as real estate investors keep pouring in

OK.....

Questioner: Good evening. Human population growth has more than doubled in the past 50 years. The planet cannot sustain this growth. I realize this is a poisonous topic for politicians, but it’s crucial to face. Empowering women and educating everyone on the need to curb population growth seems a reasonable campaign to enact. Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of a plan to address climate catastrophe?

SANDERS: Well, Martha, the answer is yes. And the answer has everything to do with the fact that women in the United States of America, by the way, have a right to control their own bodies and make reproductive decisions.

And the Mexico City agreement, which denies American aid to those organizations around the world that are — that allow women to have abortions or even get involved in birth control, to me is totally absurd. So I think, especially in poor countries around the world where women do not necessarily want to have large numbers of babies, and where they can have the opportunity through birth control to control the number of kids they have, it’s something I very, very strongly support.

>> In short.... Martha makes a claim that has no scientific merit (population growth not sustainable) and without Martha raising the topic of abortion, Sanders does and he laments that the US is not funding abortions in 3rd world countries. Doing so, is something he "strongly supports."

That isn't propaganda, that is Sanders' own words and they are racist because he desires to help prevent global catastrophe by using US tax dollars to specifically fund abortions in 3rd world nations, pretty much all of which are filled with minorities.

No, I didn't.

Doing what?

One of a few personal security guards. This was back in the early 90's, when Atlantic City was still thriving.

 

[Aldebaran]

Then nothing specifically for blacks and Hispanics?

Why would that have to be done? Economics based on race or skin color would be racist policies. That's what he gets accused of by...well, you know: Racism is not a distraction; It’s policy

Instead, he built a better economy for America as a whole.
Would you prefer that he created an economic policy for white people, and another specifically for blacks, and another for Hispanics? That's what you asked about, but I hope it isn't what you meant.

 

[Ken Rank]

No, I didn't.

The point being.. you can Google it and watch and hear him say himself. I just copied and pasted the transcript but you can go listen online. And when you do, hopefully, you'll see that the media said NOTHING about Sanders who made a very direct racial comment... and Trump, who has only come out against ILLEGAL aliens or congresswomen who hate the US and anything Jewish... is, according to the same media, the biggest racist in history? Um.. no on that one.

I'm sorry, but his words do not display any prejudice based on ethnic identity.

 

[Ken Rank]

Yep... for everyone. ALL TIME LOWS in unemployment for blacks, women, Hispanics... and Trump is REALLY a racist woman hater!

In the parable of the two sons... one said he wouldn't do what the Father asked but then did it. The other said he would do it but then didn't. Jesus said the one who DID the right thing was the one who was right. Trump has SAID some things that can be taken many different ways, but when we look at his ACTIONS they aren't racist. He could have picked a pro-choice judge... he didn't, he respected life enough to not go there. He could have created an economic policy that benefited only rich white males... he didn't, more minorities and women are working than at ANY TIME in history. Actions speak louder than words... or.... folks can just keep listening to a biased media!

 

[Ken Rank]

I'm sorry, but the issue is not about discrimination based on any ethnic identity.

Oh, ok... so change the topic a little and use some semantics to not face reality. Sanders would like black 3rd world babies aborted... not me, not Trump, not most sane people.

Take care.

No, of course not but you can’t have it both ways either. He either did something specifically for minority groups (the claim being made to show he’s not racist) or any benefits they get from his policies are unintended consequences.

 

[Aldebaran]

Why would those consequences be "unintended"? If he improves the economy as a whole, and black people benefit from it, how is that an "unintended consequence"? If he improved the economy, and black people somehow didn't benefit from it, would it be considered and unintended consequence then? Or would it be called racist, even if blacks not benefiting was the part that was unintended?

It’s always brought up as proof positive that he’s not a racist but you yourself admit the economic reforms weren’t meant to help blacks and Hispanics specifically but all Americans.

That’s great that it’s helped everyone! It’s not proof he’s not a racist though.
