trump's nativist/racist tweets

Mitt Romney isn't racist.

John McCain isn't racist.

George W Bush isn't racist (no Kayne, get out)

Marco Rubio isn't racist.

John Kasich isn't racist.

There are many mainstream GOP politicians who aren't racist. It's unfortunate the GOP happened to chose the most obvious racist out of a field of 17 candidates.

Remember kids. Donald Trump started his conservative GOP career on a platform of finding out Obama's "real" birth certificate. That is the performance he put on cable tv networks to get his in with the conservative base, not nuance on healthcare policy, or how he's going to be fiscally conservative, but whether or not Barrack Obama was foreign born. A rabid conservative fandom of Trump purely began on calling the first black president foreign born and not a citizen by birth even though his mother was American. Im personally close to many right wing peers I served with. Their fascination with Trump and trusting him to espouse their views all began when. Trump jumped on the birther movement. Think about that. A dude started his GOP political career to become president of the United States purely on labeling the first black president Kenyain born and not a true citizen.

Then he proceeded to start his campaign officially by going down a magic escalator and claiming that Mexican undocumented migrants are rapists and murderers while "some may be good people" implying that the majority of undocomented migrants are rapists which is absurd and no where close to empirical reality.

 

Again just because he goes after poc doesn’t make him a racist, an ******* maybe but he isn’t backing down just because he’s afraid of offending somebody. It’s kind of refreshing to see someone stand their ground actually instead of buckling under political correctness crybaby pressure.

 

I don't know if he's a racist but he's 100% a race baiter.

It's not that he goes after people of color that makes him one, it's that their color makes them his target. His favorite targets are people of color. I don't know if it's because he's a racist or if it's because he knows how effective it is at triggering the racists that support him.

 

"Welcome to the race Cory Booker, I only hope you have the intelligence, long in doubt, to wage a successful primary campaign," Mr Trump tweeted on Thursday morning.

"It will be nasty - you will be dealing with people who truly have some very sick & demented ideas. But if you make it, I will see you at the Starting Gate!"

Would this be considered racist?

 

Not particularly racist by itself.

 

He said it about Joe Biden but if had been Booker you know it would had been made out to be racist.

 

Is anyone claiming it to be racist?

Dude, why is THIS the hill you want to die on? You are so vehement about trying to paint Trump as not a racist when we have 40 years of his adult life to point to.

 

The only thing I would correct in that post is that John McCain wasn't racist. ;-)

 

After that last round of hypothetical rhetorical reverse double standards with a tweet that was aimed at Joe Biden but would have been considered racist if it were aimed at Cory Booker, followed by a brainless meme about a transgendered Republican, I must admit I have to bow out and concede.

Trump can’t be racist now. It’s proven.

 

Seriously are you like an alt New Yorker account?

 

I may have trolled, but I did it intelligently at least.

 

Some might argue that targeting someone because of their color is the very definition of racism.

 

Really the racists from GoyTalk and other neo-nazi right-wing groups believe that? cool.

By the way you put a picture of a Republican Trump supporter in your post.

 

6th grade debate tactics, a feature of the Republican Party.

 

You don't know if he's racist and don't let 50 years of it clear anything up for you.
