Donald Trump Being Called Racist

That part always gets brought in to somehow make the statement better. It doesn’t. I fail to see how and for some reason, you won’t explain how. It doesn’t change what was said just before it. This is a case where the entire context of the tweet doesn’t change the part that is offensive. Telling people to go back where they came from doesn’t become a nice thing to say just because you invite them to come back afterwards. No American needs to be told to go anywhere and if the president doesn’t like it, that’s just too bad.

Does that work for people who Trump says something negative about and are offended?

That was the expressed sentiment.

I watched the videos.

Me too, and I read the tweets. Whenever you speak about the country of someone's ethnic origin in a denigrating way, and then use that as a measure to disqualify a person's status as equal to ones own self, that's classic racism.

So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangement.

Reality speaks volumes - when Trump was not involved in the political arena, he was embraced and lauded by Democrats - they loved his money and influence. He was a welcome guest of the Clinton's, Al Sharpton (never called his a racist but loved photo ops with him), Jessie Jackson and a wide variety of others that just loved cashing his checks.

Donald Trump became a racist the moment he decided to run for President, not a day before.

That's how she "fixes" the country she elected to fix. It seems that the actual ideas on how to fix things is assumed to come when elected to office. That's how candidates usually operate. Now she's in office and still has that empty rhetoric, and of course attacks on others who are also elected.

Since being elected to Congress, Ms. Omar has sponsored or co-sponsored 397 Bills.

Well said! And that is the truth... he was >>LOVED AND ACCEPTED<< by all the same people who now name call ONLY BECAUSE he stands outside of their political view and agenda. Black leaders LOVED Trump before... but now name call. That is all we need to know to see the bias here.

And yet his exact words were, "Then come back and show us how it is done".

So you actually believe Trump believed she could fix Somalia?

Your statement, particularly your last sentence, has been proven to be a false narrative.

Was Donald Trump Never Accused of Racism Before Running Against Democrats?

In fact, he was accused of racism long before he ran for the presidency as a Republican.

Donald Trump’s long history of racism, from the 1970s to 2019

I also gave some examples in my first post of him being accused of racism, as well as an example of him being sued for housing discrimination against black people and an example of him paying a hefty $200,000 fine for discrimination against black employees at his casinos in Atlantic City.

When someone chooses to fundraise for terror organizations and downplay both 9/11 and the soldiers dragged through the streets in Black Hawk Down, she seems to feel she can hold her own politically.

If she can’t take the response, she should stop Tweeting inflammatory Tweets.

That’s not racism. That is an individual looking for an argument and someone pandering to the huge Islamist community that elected her.

That's true. This is why racism can't be confirmed through skin color.

Was Donald Trump Never Accused of Racism Before Running Against Democrats?

Trump was also accused of racism in 1989, when he took out full page ads calling for the return of the death penalty in several New York City newspapers. The ads were published a few weeks after a 28-year-old woman was raped while jogging in Central Park. Five men were arrested for the attack:

“They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes. I want to hate these murderers and I always will.”

The incident stirred racial tensions in the city, with many accusing Trump of adding fuel to the fire. When evidence surfaced in 2002 that would eventually lead to the exoneration of the five men who were charged with rape, protesters criticized Trump for his racially charged rhetoric:

On May 1, 1989, Donald J. Trump took out full-page advertisements in four New York newspapers calling for the return of the death penalty. Mr. Trump said he wanted the ”criminals of every age” who were accused of beating and raping a jogger in Central Park 12 days earlier ”to be afraid.”

Thirteen years later, as new evidence raises the possibility that the five teenagers convicted in the attack had nothing to do with it, their supporters are focusing some of their fiercest anger at Mr. Trump.

“Trump is a chump!” protesters shouted during a recent demonstration, accusing Mr. Trump of, at least, further inflaming passions and perhaps tainting the defendants’ future jurors. Some called him a racist. Supporters of the Central Park defendants have demanded an apology.

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.

How closely did they work with him on a day to day basis?

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.

By "they" I take it you are no longer referring to the 100 people you know of different colors? I didn't used to think so either, but I have become convinced by the evidence.

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.

Oh, I didn't think you were interested, but okay. Rather than copy and paste each separate incident, here (clickie linkie) is Vox's compiled list. Read it and weep.

Her political or religious leanings are not actually the subject of this thread. It would be hypocritical to despise a congress person for wanting to argue a point. Anyway, she was only one of the congresswomen identified in the tweet.

All right, that's one black musician immortalizing Trump (who didn't call Trump a racist after he started his presidential campaign). However, you said "and other black artists." What other black artists?

Vox. Such a left wing outlet

To be a racist, one has to have a belief in something outside oneself. Therefore Mr. Trump is incapable of being a racist.

He can support believers of anything but only because they serve his interests.
