Donald Trump has been called racist over and over again. But what exactly did musicians think of him before running for election and winning? Do people in Jamaica know the following facts.
If not how come? All persons hear on the radio is how racist trump is but they do not know that he was friends with many celebrities and prominent persons including Al Sharpton.

How is it that celebrities and prominent persons did not think Trump was racist before he started running for President of the United States, but after the election Trump is suddenly racist? These are the questions people need to ask themselves in Jamaica and elsewhere.

Barring Kanye West, it's not news that the vast majority of hip-hop artists -- from underground rappers to icons like Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and T.I. -- have become powerful voices in the resistance against President Donald Trump.

But only a few years ago -- as recently as 2015 -- hip-hop's storied relationship with the celebrity business mogul-turned president told a very different tale.


Donald Trump’s fall from hip-hop grace: From rap icon to public enemy No. 1


Rise of Donald Trump Divides Black Celebrities Friends (This article I am unable to see, but the little I was how the article said Russell Simmons spoke out against Trump for being against Muslim immigration)


It is interesting to see that Trump is deemed anti-Muslim by popular and prominent persons, who would themselves be arrested, if they were not well known public figures, in predominantly Muslim countries for not conforming to Islamic law.


...Women's rights in Saudi Arabia have been an enduring focus of international concern, despite some public overtures toward reform from within the kingdom.

The World Economic Forum ranked Saudi Arabia number 141 out of 149 countries around the world for gender equality in 2018.

Saudi women still cannot travel, get married or open a bank account without a male guardian's permission.

Earlier this year, the case of a Saudi woman fleeing her family abroad gained high-profile attention..."

He ran on the platform of draining the swamp... i.e. tearing into the good ole' boy network where mostly white men built careers out of politics and the power it brings them. So, they turn against him... them, and the media machine that supports them and does their bidding. Claim after claim, name call after name call.... it won't stop because he represents a block in their path. I ignore them, entirely... and will vote for him if only in spite of them all.

Racism, fear of Islam and other religions, evaluation of character according to social status, favoritism of the wealthy and powerful, disdain according to political affiliation. All of these fall under the same umbrella of prejudice. It is all carnal vanity and Donald's vanity is seen in his words displaying all of these examples of prejudicial sentiments almost all of the time.

Even many people probably like him because he puts others down all the time. He openly says what they were privately thinking and reinforces their own prejudice and fear.

There is actually no real evidence of him being a racist. When somebody doesn't agree with the media, that person gets called names. Since Trump (like him or not) doesn't surround himself with only whites, then the charge of racism is clearly false. And if that most often repeated charge is false (it is) then how seriously do we take the other accusations? He is an something of a narcissist, who doesn't have a filter when he speaks and thinks. But he isn't a racist...

Trump does some good things...

And, way back in the 90s and early 2000s, I'd already seen Trump's actions, such as this (which he has now continued)
--
Trump still refuses to admit he was wrong about the Central Park 5

More than a decade after the exoneration of five black and Latino teens accused of raping a woman in Central Park, President Donald Trump indicated on Tuesday that he still doesn’t accept their innocence. Nor does he think he owes them an apology for publicly calling for their executions.

I'm sorry, but he actually factually did discriminate according to country of origin, and that is classic racism. So what?

My point is that his racism is only one small manifestation of a greater more immediate problem. To speak of Trump as a racist is actually trivial compared to the immense appetite for self adoration that is the core impetus of his compulsive and self destructive behavior.

What's worse, racism or the systematic and methodical denigration of all who won't worship him?

If there's one thing Trump is not good at, it's racism.
The false claim of racism is being used to divide us by certain politicians and media organizations to retain power.

Of course it is not Trump (or a preacher, or a bishop, or any man) we are to put our hope and trust in -- put our faith in....

No. Wrong place to put faith!


5 Thus says the LORD:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,
whose heart turns away from the LORD.
6 He is like a shrub in the desert,
and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.

7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose trust is the LORD.
8 He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
10 “I the LORD search the heart
and test the mind,
to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.”

11 Like the partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch,
so is he who gets riches but not by justice;
in the midst of his days they will leave him,
and at his end he will be a fool.

That is factually inaccurate. You can say there is no "proof" being as you personally are unconvinced, but you cannot say there is no evidence when there is years, decades of it.

When somebody doesn't agree with the media, that person gets called names.
That's not really how it works with MSM, although that may be with your media of choice.

Since Trump (like him or not) doesn't surround himself with only whites, then the charge of racism is clearly false.
That's not how most people define racism.

And if that most often repeated charge is false (it is) then how seriously do we take the other accusations? He is an something of a narcissist, who doesn't have a filter when he speaks and thinks. But he isn't a racist...
Racism, although up there among the top ten, is NOT the most often repeated charge; general corruption is, followed by a severe decline in mental acuity and gross narcissism; although some people say everything stems from the narcissism.

Who is putting "faith" in a human being?

It is GOD Whom we "trust", not "man".

Our prayers are, however for President Trump, and that God strengthens and sustains him through these tsunami's of blatant lies, etc. such as the "claim" that he is "racist".

We are to PRAY for our leaders. Including the leaders he meets with, such as the Prime Minister of India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is here on a week long visit to the states, and spoke together with President Trump at an event in Texas yesterday.

The tsunami's of lies, including that he is "racist", are sickening.

:sick:

Praying.

Let it rain.

No, he didn't. He made it clear he didn't want ILLEGAL Hispanics to come in, and called a few different Latino gangs some pretty nasty things, but he isn't against all Hispanics. I have a really close Christian friend who is a Liberal and a college professor who has tried repeatedly to make this racism case stick because of Trump and his border control. But as I pointed out to him, and as he finally realized, Trump has >>NEVER<< been against people from Mexico or Central America... only against those who cross the border ILLEGALLY. That isn't racism... that is standing up for the legal tax paying citizens of this country! But, haters will hate.

As best I understand, most people in the world put their faith in men, or in some individual men/women.

So, that would of course include anyone who believes everything Trump says (or a preacher, or a bishop, or a pope, or a philosopher, or a parent, or a friend...etc.) -- as if there is never a wrong thing said.

If one has the attitude/belief that whatever that person says that the person only speaks perfect Truth, always -- that the person is the reliable guide, and the one in whom to put trust and hope.

Only Christ is such a person -- One where all of His Words are True, always.

All humans fail at times, and sometimes say wrong things that are falsehoods.

So, it's anyone putting their total trust in any person here on Earth.

We can only trust a person here on Earth partly at most, such as trusting that they would usually be pretty good at something or another -- a very partial, limited trust, where one's hope is not put on that person.

Well, I grew up in NJ, I know probably 100 people of different colors who have worked for him... and that all suggest something different than what the media claims. They hate him, they have been openly against him from the beginning and want him out. They have a clear and open bias which means we should not just accept their claims. Regardless... look what you just did. I made a statement and you didn't supply one shred of evidence... just your own personal opinion. That's the problem... don't just repeat the rhetoric ("decades of racism") prove it or recant.

What has what you posted got to do with my post that you quoted from (post #11)?

In my post it is clear that we (prayer warriors praying for our President and ALL leaders) put our faith in GOD, and not "man".

Racism, although up there among the top ten, is NOT the most often repeated charge; general corruption is, followed by a severe decline in mental acuity and gross narcissism; although some people say everything stems from the narcissism.

There is more than plenty of well documented evidence that Trump has personally exhibited racist behavior toward black people and other minorities, as well as against Jews, during his lifetime.

(1) Trump was sued by the Justice Department for housing discrimination against black people.

Decades-Old Housing Discrimination Case Plagues Donald Trump

(2) Here's an excerpt from this article: Here Are 13 Examples Of Donald Trump Being Racist

Workers at Trump’s casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, have accused him of racism over the years. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission fined the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino $200,000 in 1992 because managers would remove African-American card dealers at the request of a certain big-spending gambler. A state appeals court upheld the fine.

The first-person account of at least one black Trump casino employee in Atlantic City suggests the racist practices were consistent with Trump’s personal behavior toward black workers.

“When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” Kip Brown, a former employee at Trump’s Castle, told the New Yorker for a September article. “It was the eighties, I was a teen-ager, but I remember it: they put us all in the back.”

Trump disparaged his black casino employees as “lazy” in vividly bigoted terms, according to a 1991 book by John O’Donnell, a former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.

“And isn’t it funny. I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it,” O’Donnell recalled Trump saying. “The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”

“I think the guy is lazy,” Trump said of a black employee, according to O’Donnell. “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.”

(BE SURE TO RE-READ THE LAST THREE PARAGRAPHS OF THE ABOVE ARTICLE EXCERPT)

(3) Here is one more article giving several examples Donald Trump's documented history of racist behavior toward minorities. An Oral History of Trump’s Bigotry: His racism and intolerance have always been in evidence; only slowly did he begin to understand how to use them to his advantage.
