Well, my 2 cents ...
There is plenty of evidence even if we don't have them on tape saying the N-word

So, by this reasoning any time someone calls a person who is a son of a beetch a son of a beetch, or calls a person who is dumb a "low IQ" person, or calls a sheethole country a sheethole country, or calls a beetch a dog, that person is a racist if those people happen to be black or brown.

Sorry, but once again you demonstrate that you guys have no credible justification for your uncharitable assessments of the President.

If this is the best you can come up with then Trump must be no racist at all. I assume that if there were real examples of the President's racism you'd have no trouble finding them.

Ex-Trump exec: He's racist through and through

Oh I am so glad he could supply proof for such.... oh wait, he didn't supply anything substantial, nothing at all actually. The most this can count for is an Ex-employee who is now talking up because he sees a chance to be relevant and make some money on the side.

Go figure.

So having no proof is still to be considered proof it seems.

If you are up to it, how about we take these one at a time. You can start with explaining how calling Omarosa a dog is racist or proof of racism as your OP dishonestly claims.

My OP is my considered opinion, of which I am the ultimate authority.

Original work needs no footnotes.
 
I don't need no stinking evidence...I have a meme.

Really hate to be the one to inform you of this, but that is what makes it an opinion and nothing more.
 
He's a disgusting racist.

 
Referring to those atrocities as the good old days. That was one of many times all the commentators said 'that is it for his campaign' and astonishingly it was not, just like none of the other times were.
 
He has been convicted of racism... hence he is a racist... his actions and words only back up what we learned in the 1970s.

So where is the proof that you aren't a racist?

Maybe all or almost all of us are racists. We have different ways of dealing with it, expressing it, and different degrees of it, but some of it most of us have.

I would agree to an ingrained, or learned bias towards certain races.

Racist seems too much of a overt application for such a thing that everyone has a piece of.

Let me rephrase: I would take it better to say that you have a preference for certain races over others, instead of an distinct hatred for one based solely on their race alone.

There are different degrees of racism, obviously. "Hatred" isn't a necessary component for racism to infect social mores and policies. "Soft" racism abounds in America.

Can someone be a bigot without being a racist? If so, what is the difference?
