“Trump is many things but not a racist,” say his supporters.
I’m not sure what the guy has to do for people to admit he is a racist. Get fined for refusing to rent to black people? Oh, right, he did that already. Call Mexicans rapists? Oops, done that. Insult Congresspeople who are not white and tell them to go back home? Yep, done that. Demand innocent black men get the death penalty for a crime they didn’t commit? Been there, done that. Insinuate Obama wasn’t born in America simply because he’s black? Oh, right, he was the leader for that one. Call KKK members and nazis “fine people”? Oh, I remember now. Call African countries shitholes? Yep, done that. Hire people whose backgrounds are from white supremacist groups? Plenty of those. Have an Attorney General who was close to the KKK? Yep. Institute a travel ban on Muslims? You bet. Have his casinos fined for discriminatory practices? Absolutely.
Not sure how much evidence people need. Any one of these is enough.
Seriously, anyone who says he isn’t a racist is probably a racist themselves because they agree with all this but are in denial about their own racism.
Heck, his behavior has gotten to be a such a cliche that we, as an audience, now know which executive figure Hollywood writers are referring to in action movies when Michelle Rodriguez’s character walks into the scene with guns drawn & demands angrily, “Who the {blank} defends this piece of {blank}?”.
Oh right, that doesn’t happen. But… I wonder just how many people think it should?
