IS Trump a Racist President ?

[uptower]

I am certainly no malignant narcissist, often admitting my own personal limitations on this forum, and I haven't changed a whit since Trump came down the escalator in 2015 to say Mexicans are drug-dealers, rapists and criminals, so it is obvious malignant narcissists aren't the only ones resistant to change.

Regular MAGA types are too.

MAGA.

We wouldn't have you any other way.

Even in the Biblical sense...

 

[Gimmesometruth]

Dumb response. The south is not what it was during the segregation era.

"US white southern culture is not racist any longer...."

 

[JoeyJoystick]

Sure Trump is racist, but he doesn't even make the top five on the most racist presidents list.

I would go with:

1) Wilson - our most progressive president
2) FDR - another progressive
3) Jackson - founder of the democrat party
4) Jefferson - held some libertarian views while being a slave holder.
5) Washington
6) Teddy Roosevelt - another progressive hero.

Probably many others I can't think of that were way worse than Trump.

ooohh, but than it's ok.

Yes Trump is a racist. His racism goes back decades from people who know and we're close to him. And I rate the MAGA movement as mostly racist. Many may not actually hate minorities and immigrants but the policies being pushed right now by the Trump regime are inhumane and morally wrong. If you support such actions you're are either knowingly or inadvertently supporting racism.

"US white southern culture is not racist any longer...."

There is in fact a democrat white culture of racism still today even if it does not look exactly like the democrat white racism of the segregation era.

 

[PopMartian]

Do you realize that most people don't even know what a racist is? Its very obvious because they call everyone of a different race a racist.

Are Republicans racist? Some are, some aren't.
Are MAGA types racist? Most are, some might not be but hard to imagine any that aren't.
Is Trump racist?
That one is a rhetorical question.

How will Trumpers respond to this thread? They will reveal themselves and make themselves obvious.

Wait till they get here, the proof will be inecame their responses.

Trump is not a racists - but, but he does favor what some call “Old Stock Americans” or those
who dominated this country when we became the #1 economic & military power overtaking the British
Empire around 100 years ago. Far before what liberals call 'the beautiful mosaic of diversity!

Based on US census numbers, 50% of people living the US today are descendents of “Old Stock Americans” which are also called “Ethnic Americans”.
In the populist and nationalist upheavals of the last decade, peoples all over the wealthiest parts of this world have made clear
that they refuse to let their cultures and societies be dissolved away without a fight.

The Immigration Act of 1965 ended forever 'Homogenous America' which had been populated by 90% European ethnics.
Here we are folks the essence of pride in country, with a real statesman leading the way. Finally after 60 years the masses
forsaking the elitist arguments that potential GDP growth due to
immigration simply does not matter, For the vast majority of the population,
immigration being a threat to the cultural identity of the country matters most of all.

'The drive of ethnic groups to separate and create nations in which there own unique culture, language & faith are
dominant is among the most powerful drive of mankind.' You're swimming up stream not to acknowledge the power of ethnonationalism.

It seems Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest was the first, and only, KKK Grand Wizard. Forrest was well suited for the KKK.....

In April 1864, Confederate troops under Bedford's command at the Battle of Fort Pillow massacred ~330 surrendering black and white Union solders.

To wit:

Nathan Bedford Forrest - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I'm surprised Pete Hegseth hasn't yet proposed naming a US Army base or a US Navy ship after this treasonous murderer and sadist.

Let's take a look at the 'Wizard of the Saddle' who masterminded his tactical genius at Tishamingo Creek near Brices Cross Roads.
He the most controversial of all. Those who love to call Confederates 'RACIST' have a particular hate for him. Called him everything from a violent back woodsman, an illiterate redneck, pathological sadist, cruel slaver & grand wizard of the KKK.

The key to dealing with Forrest, whatever your perspective or how twisted your conclusions might
have developed in the past, is to study the records and the actions of the man.
Give the General a fair look. He could have lived with the score.

Within the restrictions imposed by the slaveholding society in which he lived,
Forrest managed to treat the black Southerners with whom he came in contact as well as he perhaps could do.
Judging by the actions and comments of some of the people he owned, and emancipated, he treated them
with a level of respect, respect and human dignity that went significantly beyond the requirements of his profession.
Many of the black Southerners he dealt with, in turn, recognized his friendship and returned it many times over,
during and long after the war.

When the war started, Forrest asked 45 of his slaves (which he considered as servants) to join him, offering them their freedom
after the war, no matter how it turned out. They all joined him and although they had numerous opportunities to desert him,
44 stayed by his side until the end of the war & as Forrest stated:
'These men stayed with me and better confederates did not live'

In Memphis at his passing in 1877 10,000 came to honor the man, nearly 1/3 of the grieving crowd was black, completely demolishing
the Yankee myth that contemporaneous African Americans hated & feared ‘that racist Forrest.’

"Are Republicans Racist?" Many critics point to specific policies, rhetoric, and historical events to argue that the Republican Party exhibits racist tendencies. Conversely, many Republicans, deny that the party is racist.

• Historians and political scientists believe that the Republican "Southern strategy" after the Civil Rights era intentionally appealed to white Southern voters' racial grievances to gain political support.
• In 2005, then-Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized to the NAACP for the party's exploitation of racial polarization in the past.
• Critics argue that Republican-led efforts to tighten voting laws—including stricter voter ID requirements, restrictions on absentee and early voting, and gerrymandering—disproportionately disenfranchise minority voters.
• Republican proposals that include harsher immigration enforcement and rhetoric are seen by many as discriminatory toward Hispanic and other immigrant communities.
• Some Republicans, such as Sen. Tim Scott, have stated that the party is often accused of racism because of its silence in condemning such remarks
• Multiple Republican officials and candidates have been accused of using racist language or embracing white nationalist themes, though some in the party have condemned this rhetoric.
  

I hate the word racism and I'm sick and tired of everyone on the left calling everything racist.

   When you go to see the Doctor, What race do you tell them you are? When you fill out a census, what race do you tell them you are? None of the above ! I am not a racist.
