    According to some people, no way he can be racist by doing this right?

    Public figure in the spotlight for decades never accused of racism. Wins presidency at age 70 and becomes the biggest racist in the history of history.

    Libtards were in full libtard mode last night on twitter blasting Trump with their two most top & popular comments 'he's only helping one black person' and 'he only helps rich black people'.

    Comments more logical people surely found sad and somewhat comical considering the same day, yesterday, more than 3,000 black in-mates were released from prison thanks to Trumps Criminal Justice Reform First Step Act

    I’m not a liberal and you kind of just proved my point with this post...

    Also, I’m not for freeing anybody if there’s a crime that has been committed.

    I never called you a liberal. I was pointing out the hypocritical left as the popular top comments we're in total contradiction to Trumps actual actions. He has always been an advocate towards bringing Americans home that are being held oversea's by foreign governments, no matter the race and no matter if they are a fan of his or not such as when he worked to get Lavar Ball's son home from China even though Lavar was openly against Trump.

    I also find it sad & somewhat funny how the left touts education yet seemingly cannot distinguish the difference between race, ethnicity, and culture-- so quick to cry racism on very un-racist comments.

    As has been pointed out many times, there have been charges of racism going back as far as 1973:

    But I guess Oceana is, and always been at war with Eastasia.

    He is only doing it for Kim and Kayne. He gives 2 ***** about ASAP Rocky. He thinks it will help with the black vote (it won’t). People know he is racist. People Also know KK and Kanye are opportunist .

    Trump is a racist. He is trying to distract from that fact.

    This explains a lot.

    The fact you think he has never been accused of racism.

    This is yet another common trump defender falsehood, as trump has a well-documented history of racism, including a US Department of Justice discrimination suit.

    His racism and intolerance have always been in evidence; only slowly did he begin to understand how to use them to his advantage.

    He had been accused of racism at least three different times prior to becoming president and had to settle a court case based on his discrimination against minorities.

    His call for the death penalty of 5 black youths who were shown to be innocent and Trump still claimed they were guilty.

    His whole birther mess.

    Those are at least three times going back decades.

    A serial killer who helped his neighbor rake leaves in the yard and didn't kill him is still a serial killer.

    If you Trumpers think he does what he does for your approval think again. I’ve followed this idiot for years and more than anything in his life he craves the acceptance of celebrities like Kim and Kanye.

    He’d discard you and your right wing agenda in a second if it meant getting him the adoration he really craves. You and him are only joined at the hip because you both are aggrieved for the acceptance and respective places in society you think you deserve.

    He’d pardon Charles Manson if Kim Kardashian asked him to. Doubt he even knew who A$AP Rocky was before Kim and Kanye lobbied him about it. Kim takes advantage of Trumps disposition and good for her.

    It is pretty common for mild or casual racists to treat celebrity athletes or movie stars as "honorary white people".

    One of the factors that leads to racism is treating groups of people not as individuals, but as a great undifferentiated horde, where, for instance, every black person is defined solely by their blackness.

    Once individuals become differentiated, from the great unwashed horde as actual human beings, they exclude themselves from the racism.

    It's a little different for the type of person who proudly declares themselves as ideologically white supremiscist racists, but that's not Trump.

    Trump is going to bat for Americans imprisoned abroad. That's great and I'm sure all of you would appreciate that if you were in A$AP Rocky's position.

    Trump has been an incredibly good President for African Americans. Lowest AA unemployment rate in history, passage of bi-partisan criminal justice reform, working to secure the border (illegal immigration disproportionately negatively impacts AAs), and so many other great policy initiatives. Don't let the media play you for fools and trick you into thinking he's racist. He's not. You got played for fools with the 'Russia conspiracy lie', and the 'racist lie' is just another information campaign brought to you by the DNC-Media collaboration.

    GOOD DAY

    What specific policy did he pass to benefit African Americans and how are you measuring impact given their unemployment was already in decline under Obama

    I wonder if the President knows that Rocky writes lyrics like this:

    "F$&k popo, police, enemies, fake homies"

    "Mothaf&$k the police"

    The housing stuff is unfair. It was part of a larger government effort to integrate northern cities.
