Three or four years before running for President, I saw a program about Trump and his airplane. His personal secretary at that time was a black woman. That seems to be a position of responsibility. I don’t see how Trump is racist.
 
Again, anyone plugging the Democrat party and who has indeed voted for them has supported these lopsided abortion figures and should not tell us what racism is about per the OP.
 
Well the left is tinged with critical race theory which extreme and racist. So those supporters are racist.

Well, that’s what the Jesuits call an ad hominem argument. The paper has posited that Trump has fostered and exploited racial divisiveness. You have any gems to offer on that?

Proud Boys aren’t racist
They say they are not, but the views of the members tell a different story. The Proud Boys have been described by United States intelligence organizations as “a dangerous white supremacist group.” I think US Intelligence knows a thing or two.
and Trump made the KKK a terrorist organisation.
Nevertheless, the KKK did support him.

I’m not sure I can believe something like that blindly. I know they have problems, but I would like it to be accurately said.

The contradiction casts doubts on your speculation especially since it was indirect. If it suggests anything that should be found out directly.

No. There is a clear difference in that Biden actively endorses the ability for a mother to end her child’s life so long as it is in the womb (through all 9 months), whereas Trump does not nor has ever actively endorsed racism. There are, however, some rather deceptive statements concerning Trump going around.
For instance, he did not call Mexicans in general these nasty things. If you listen to his words in context, he clearly is referring to some who illegally cross our border. Look at legitimate crime statistics for this group, and the human trafficking data. It is clear that oftentimes, these descriptions fit.
He has also denounced white supremacy repeatedly, agreeing to denounce it at the debate. His words about Charlottesville are also taken out of context. While I can see why some may wanna call it racist, being born in the US is one of only three requirements to be a US president, so it is kinda important.

Under his presidency, there have been record low unemployment for both Hispanics and Blacks. He got through prison reform. His support from minority communities is a lot higher than last time around.
Now, compare his record with Biden’s. Why not? He’s been in politics for over four decades. It’s clear to see. Has he ever done stuff that seems racist? Yes, though in charity I will not declare it actual racism. “Racial jungles,” “clean black”, “you ain’t black”, “Unlike the African American community with notable exceptions, the Hispanic community is very diverse,” heck even the Corn Pop story seems to play on stereotypes. His support against busing or his once-championed “Biden crime bill” has been said to have not been good for minority communities.

I’m biased here, but who isn’t?

Those who enable pro-abortion politicians shouldn’t preach to others about racism when there is hardly anything more racist. You aided, abetted and facilitated.
 
Back to the OP, since I said this on the mirror thread earlier today, voting for Trump is not endorsing racism unless you vote for him to promote racism, which very, very few people will do. Those that do can not be held as representative of anything but a fringe of his supporters. Whether Trump will lead us away from racial justice is another issue all together. The fact is, voting is done for a person who represents a complex array of issues, seldom for a specific issue.

Anecdotal experience is perfectly valid for the person who experiences it, but it is not very useful for making generalizations. Whether we have gone backwards in regard to racial justice these last few years is a complex question, and even if we have, I would think the election of Trump is more of a symptom of this movement than a cause.

I’m not sure I can dismiss the US Intelligence reports so casually.

Not really. It is quite believable once you consider the fact that Trump’s “condemnation” came about less than a month ago, and was only a promise to designate the KKK as a terrorist organization along with Antifa, which has not yet occurred. Maybe the KKK will soften their support of Trump now that Trump has finally bowed to all the backlash of his tolerance of racism, but the fact still stands that Trump did not condemn the KKK for all the 3 years prior to this.
 
The question is if Trump has exacerbated and exploited the racial divide in this country.
I would wager there is more an ideological divide than a racial one. Perhaps it depends on where you are, but if you just go to work or school and look around, what racial divide is there? Everyone of all races are all together…each community shares its own struggles. Maybe it is different elsewhere.
 
You have no facts. When facts were presented to you they were dismissed. I wasn’t trying to make it a competition merely responding to BabyWitch posting that
Biden isn’t that good, but he’s objectively better than Trump
So your comment is more to her than to me.

Except Trump condemned racism many times before, but the media didn’t report on that which ironically supported racism and Trump at the same time.

Or, would you submit that Trump has not been racially divisive?
exactly! It is those who are pushing this false scenario that are. Ones who do not look at facts and when presented with them dismiss them.
 
What about Trump’s racially divisiveness?
Here’s the thing.
I’ll posit that the seeds of a lot of the current racial divisiveness were sown during h Obama administration.

Obama got elected by a popular majority .
Some people didn’t like some of his policies and voted against him.
Some Obama supporters started the narrative that the reason people voted against him was because they couldn’t stand the sight of a Black man in office.
This idea snowballed…

And Obama knew very darn well these things were being said, stood by,

And did nothing.
 
The Proud Boys are not racist.

There were very fine people on both sides of the Confederate statue issue.

80% of women who cross the border are raped during their journey. To quote Trump:

“Someone is doing the raping.”
 
Undocumented immigrants are MORE law-abiding then legal residents but Trump said that the group is full of rapits?
Illegal immigrants are illegal because they have broken the law. Maybe you should enlighten yourself of what occurs with illegals when they come here.

Trump’s comment
“I am friends with and employ thousands of people of Mexican and Hispanic descent,” Trump said. “The American justice system relies on fair and impartial judges. All judges should be held to that standard. I do not feel that one’s heritage makes them incapable of being impartial, but, based on the rulings that I have received in the Trump University civil case, I feel justified in questioning whether I am receiving a fair trial.”
Was it racist? No only those who see racism everywhere believes so. It is strange that Planned Parenthood hasn’t been decried for its racism which is more egregious than anything that Trump has EVER said.
