Is Donald Trump racist?

[tytlyf]

I'm surprised from the silence from the moderate christians after this attack. Why doesn't any prominent christian leader stand up and denounce these radical christians?

These sort of attacks will continue, we need the moderate christians on our side to combat these radical christian terrorists.

Is Donald Trump racist?

Up until Charlottesville, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but when he received a positive email from former KKK leader David Duke based on his comments during Tuesday press conference, that says all!

You are what you support. There's a lot of Trump people who completely condone this domestic terrorist attack. Blaming it on an evil commie libtard who hit the side of the law-abiding car with a bat. I guess they have a point when the speed limit on that street is 60mph.

The NRA is blaming people for defending their lives.

Your details didn't support the claim that Trump was racist

Of course it does. Who else but a racist would discriminate against African Americans to the extent that the DOJ brings suit for violating the anti-discrimination provisions of the federal housing law?

Some issues....
What were the specific disputed policies?
Which individuals in an organization effected the challenged policies?
Discrimination needn't be the intent behind something which causes disparate effect.

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

Yes.

 

[Jeremiahcp]

He isn't but there are a lot of people that need him to be, the lesser evolved will always need a Devil or scapegoat to point to so they can justify themselves.

You mean in the same way Trump blames all his failings on the media, Democrats, the Left, Obama, Hillary, the GOP, the Mexicans, federal judges, that dog over there, etc.

 

[shunyadragon]

Need more possible choices here. I have difficulty simply calling Trump a racist, because he is to inconsistent for a label. I consider Trump an egocentric opportunist with moral grounding,

His biggest fault is he has given the vague and ambiguous statements for alt-right license of approval in their causes going back to his election campaign making ambiguous statements giving indirect support for their groups, and at times making aggressive ethnocentric statements condemning of other ethnic groups such as Mexicans, and recent opposition to the civil rights of the LGBT community.

 

[Twilight Hue]

You don't have to be a member of the KKK or white supremacist group to be a racist. If you defend and agree with their agenda, you're just as bad.

Trump is working with known racists and doing their bidding. Being an enabler is just as bad as being a racist. Trump's base may not be members of either group, but they sure do agree with what these groups are doing. And the mentality behind it.

It would have had a better impact if it weren't for Democrats being obnoxious hypocrites when it comes to issues like this. Always blaming Trump but never looking at themselves.

As far as I know, Trump didn't dispute the allegations of the suit, which were apparently violations of 42 U.S. Code § 3604. He agreed to the conditions the DOJ offered.

As made applicable by section 3603 of this title and except as exempted by sections 3603(b) and 3607 of this title, it shall be unlawful—

(a) To refuse to sell or rent after the making of a bona fide offer, or to refuse to negotiate for the sale or rental of, or otherwise make unavailable or deny, a dwelling to any person because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin.

(b) To discriminate against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling, or in the provision of services or facilities in connection therewith, because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin.

(c) To make, print, or publish, or cause to be made, printed, or published any notice, statement, or advertisement, with respect to the sale or rental of a dwelling that indicates any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or an intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination.

(d) To represent to any person because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin that any dwelling is not available for inspection, sale, or rental when such dwelling is in fact so available.

(e) For profit, to induce or attempt to induce any person to sell or rent any dwelling by representations regarding the entry or prospective entry into the neighborhood of a person or persons of a particular race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.​

That's a lot of info.
For anyone who believes Trump is a racist, it will no doubt be confirming.

Hopefully it isn't too much information for you to assimilate the fact the Trump didn't dispute the DOJ's allegations of discriminatory treatment of African Americans. Discriminating against African Americans is exactly the kind of thing racists do.

Actually, it's too much information which only suggests something.

No one likes to think of elderly, grandfatherly types as racist, but fortunately they are a dying breed.

It would have had a better impact if it weren't for Democrats being obnoxious hypocrites when it comes to issues like this. Always blaming Trump but never looking at themselves.

With the current administration having a poilitical majority, what are we supposed to blame democrats for? Right now people point the finger at the person running the circus show.

 

[Satans_Serrated_Edge]

His pass behavior and current reactions should at least make most rational people stop and consider this question. So what do you think: Is Donald Trump racist?

I see no evidence that he is. Not like evidence means much to the ones doing the accusing...

. Racism and slavery for starters. Calling for the removal of confederation artifacts when the name Democrat itself is just as much a symbolic testament with the very bigoted and racist past they claim to hate. Yet still, they decide to keep using the party name Democrat.

It would impress the hell out of me if they really look at themselves and decide that calling their political party Democrat is clearly offensive and repugnant just as much as the very icons they seek to remove, and only then will I think they are really sincere about social progression and equiminty when they start with their own dirty laundry.

? Where do you learn these things? You do realize the DemoKKKrat party was started by conservatives in the south right?

You can attempt to rename the Democrat party, but they were still Democrats.
