    All of you anti-Trumpers in this thread who think Mr Trump is a racist are just like a bunch of llly white girls from the 90210 zip code, who carried BLM signs while giving the middle fingers and screaming the N word to the black police officers. I do not blame you, I blame your parents and your teachers. Corporal punishments should have been a part of your formative years. Nothing will straighten out stupidity and bad attitude faster than a good whacking to the buttocks.

    LOL...youre such a sycophant that you even call him "mr trump" in a basketball message board...how delightfully pathetic!

    im dylan mckay and youre the surfboard brah!


    all you trump butt-kissers who think trump has not said and done racist things are a bunch of low-energy daffodils.

    1) saying that an american-born federal judge cant do their job properly b/c of their ethnicity is the definition of racism.
    2) calling mexican immigrants rapists and drug dealers is racist.
    3) saying neo-nazis who chant "jews will not replace us" are "very fine people"
    4) calling for death penalty for central park 5, even after they were exonerated
    5) calling for a ban of muslims entering the united states
    6) attacking a gold star mother and saying that she was not allowed to speak b/c she was muslim
    7) discriminatory housing practices in his properties.
    8) making a slur about native americans right to the face of a native american WWII vet.
    9) birtherism
    10) "We've just seen many, many crimes getting worse all the time, and as Maine knows — a major destination for Somali refugees — right, am I right?" - August 2016
    11) "the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our cities is committed by blacks and Hispanics,"
    12) falsely claimed that 81% of murders against whites are committed by blacks

    We all know you do because if you did not you would not post as much and reply the way you do.

    You care very deeply or you would not post so much.

    I'm actually opposed to the protests and looting. I do think the left is scared to address it honestly but that said, there's no denying Trump is a racist and openly courts them. The right is not honest about that. You are basically saying it boils down to the current unrest issue but you were a trumper before and you will be one after. You can't conflate the two issues as if they're one. You can be law and order without being a racist. He happens to be a racist and only law and order when he's annoyed. Everyone else gets a pardon.

    Did Mr Trump ever coordinate that massive bigly raid on Gibson Guitar? That is the number one issue you should be concerning yourself with, not those trivial pursuit things he said on your little list.

    Was he a racist before he ran for the president? People don’t change overnight like that. He was on the news as far back as the 70s. People of all stripes loved him until he decided to take on the political industrial complex aka the establishment. They branded him the title “racist” and we’ve got fools and tools everywhere buying it with hook, line and sinker.

    The sister took the blue pill, there is nothing that I can do for her.
    He may have been a POS all his life according to you but was he a racist? That’s what we’re trying to get to the bottom of this.

    Fair warning but you just served up a hanging slider down the middle of the plate.

    You're right people don't change overnight and my opinion of Trump hasn't changed since I first heard of him in the 90's. I've always thought he was a conman. This is the same guy who did Trump U, Trump steaks, Trump vodka and Trump airlines and I flew on Trump airlines. There have been a lot of people who feel this way. 20 years ago the Simpsons did a bit where Trump is president and it ends up a disaster.

    I never get the argument "no one hated Trump before he ran as president".

    People always knew Trump was a funny joke that in the grand scheme of things was harmless excluding all the contractors and workers he's stiffed and his housing discrimination practices. But when he attempt to achieve a serious position that has serious clout such as the presidency, ya people are going to care more about his severe flaws. His severe flaws before running for president was funny. He was a fun tabloid guy.

    Wow, your warped view of his racist history says it all.
    An Oral History of Trump’s Bigotry
    His racism and intolerance have always been in evidence; only slowly did he begin to understand how to use them to his advantage.
    https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/06/trump-racism-comments/588067/

    The examples you left out. Just because he likes some black stars and celebrities with money doesn't mean he isn't racist. Money and fame attracts him, but the words and vulgarity he uses as he describes the less fortunate people of color is quite different. What he does to them and for them is quite different. He doesn't even want them in his neighborhood. He looks down on them in disgust.

    This is incredibly, incredibly, incredibly stupid.

    You know there is plenty of evidence to support the conclusion that Trump is racist. His statements and actions are numerous. Does that unequivocally prove he is a racist? Of course not. is there room for other opinions? Of course. But there is more than enough evidence to support that viewpoint and, if you can't see that, you are even more closed minded than those who you purport to chastise.

    One could also believe that he isn't a racist, but rather he looks down on lower class people, regardless of race. If you look at his statements and actions, you could reach that conclusion.

    Or, one could believe that Trump isn't actually a racist or elitist, but rather says and does the crap he does because it suits his political strategy of playing to his base and maintaining control. Under this school of thought, the appropriate description of Trump is just a plain old a--hole. Those who support him and his approach would call it brilliant -- behind closed doors of course, lest others think that they too are a--holes. I can think of many on this board who fall into this category.

    In any case, I return to my original point. There is plenty of evidence to support the conclusion that Trump is a racist. It is my contention that Trump supporters vigorous deny his racism because they don't want to be branded a racist themselves.

    Now to answer the question posted -- No, not "all" trump supporters are racist. I think a lot of them are. We see plenty of evidence of that with the Klansmen, folks in Charlottesville, idiots who re-enact the George floyd murder. And I'm sure they support Trump because they think he is just like them (and they're right). But not all trump supporters are racist. For example, there are trump supporters who hate his racism or suspect he is racist, but support him anyway because other issues are more important to them. Rich people want even more tax breaks. Pro lifers want more supreme court justices. And so on. These folks aren't necessarily racist. I think they are misguided at best and selfish a-holes at worst, but that doesn't mean they are racist.

    I think you hit the nail on the head there.

    Instantaneous judgement? It says in the Wikipedia link you posted, "Hazony's book The Virtue of Nationalism (Basic Books, 2018) was selected as the Conservative Book of the Year for 2019. " and "Hazony is an outspoken nationalist and has written that nationalism uniquely provides "the collective right of a free people to rule themselves."[9] ."

    This isn't some open minded rumination. The very description that you post shows that it is someone with a long standing bias. The fact that the very piece you post goes to great lengths attacking "Marxists" without any further discussion about regarding how delegitimizing might be happening on other political sides shows it's biased.

    Now there is nothing wrong with having a bias. I certainly have biases but am willing to argue and debate them in my own words.
