He is still a racist, that list doesn't mean he isnt. He has done so many things to hurt minorities and he should be locked up in guantanamo Bay with his buddies. For hurting there feelings he is very guilty.
Explicitly racist and bigoted remarks calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists. He proposed a ban on all Muslims entering the US. Suggested a judge should recuse himself from a case solely because of the judge’s Mexican heritage. Anything else?
It doesn't change anything because it happened in the past. He hasn't changed, he just hides it better. He said all Haitians have aids and that Nigerians wouldn't go back to huts once they came to America.
Hurting someone's feelings is NOT a crime, nor should it be. And if you think people should be put in Gitmo for that, you are a disgusting individual, truly deplorable.
No hurting someones feelings should be a crime. It is the laws in place that he will go to guantanamo for. Your response is exactly what a republican would say. Truly disgusting.
See, exactly why it should be against the law. But I was referring to your response not calling yourself but your response, truly disgusting. It shouldn't be legal to hurt yours or my feelings.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com/trumps-full-list-racist-comments-about-immigrants-muslims-and-others-779061%3famp=1 This took about 10 seconds to find and is almost two years out of date.
I see two, maybe three, on that list that could reasonably be interpreted as racist. (Although they could also be reasonably interpreted as /not/ racist too). Example, he never said "All Mexicans are criminals, drug dealers and rapists", he said "most of the Mexicans /crossing into the US/ are criminals, drug dealers and rapists". (Neither is a verbatim quote.)
And technically, unless they crossed legally, they're ALL criminals.
The rest are either mere accusations and allegations with no evidence (aka dubious hearsay), or "liberals" and the media trying to twist facts to fit their narrative.
One example of an as yet unproven allegation is the one about not renting to black people in the 70s. Even if it's true, that doesn't prove racism either, at least not inherent in Trump. The fact is that, disgustingly unfair as it is, black people moving into an area lowered property values. Still does to this day, I believe. And a businessman like Trump is more concerned about profit margins than about being "woke" in a time when wokeness wasn't a thing.
Well yeah, if you limit your defiinition of a racist statement to the formula “all X are Y,” then you’re not going to have a problem with most of what he says. I personally think the definition of racism is quite a bit broader than that and includes coded language of the kind he frequently uses. Bottom-line, it’s subjective. But racism aside, I’ve concluded there are a zillion other reasons not to support him as president. I‘m not inherently anti-Republican and I want him to do a good job but I simply think he’s incapable of it.
Hillary Clinton called Senator Robert Byrd a 'close friend and mentor' - he was literally in the KKK.
Donald Trump lowered black unemployment to its lowest level in US history (Obama raised it to the highest and said 'this is the new normal'. Trump also threatened to sue his country club in the 1990's because they wouldn't accept blacks. Pastor Daryl Scott (black) called him 'the most pro-black president in US history', which was in response to his signing of the first step act, which was specifically made to get recently released and paroled prisoners (who are mostly black) into gainful employment and thereby drastically reducing the likelihood of re-offending.
Short version? No one cares what he SAYS; they care what he DOES - and what he does is very productive.

No, you're just making garbage up and shoving it down gullible people's throats and passing it off as filet mignon. Donald Trump isn't racist and most of the left's leaders know this. They just claim it as truth to fool the weak minded gullible followers.
Well that's the problem with "liberals", they turn everything he says into "all X are Y".
Sure he's been rude, and brash, and he's hit some stereotypes, but I've seen nothing to indicate more from him than so-called "casual racism", not the hate-filled level of racism one sees in the KKK, antifa, and other democrats.
But every single person in the world (bar young enough children) has at least some level of casual racism, when you define it that way.
And let's not forget that even actual known facts can still be deemed racist. As an example, look at the scene from the original animated Aladdin, where they were going to cut off Jasmine's hand for stealing. That set up a fuss way back then, and people still get upset over it today, calling it racist, and making people in the middle east look bad. Never mind that it is not just a valid depiction of the times, but amputation as punishment for theft is still practiced there /to this day/! And yet it's racist to mention it.
As for wanting Trump to do a good job, as far as I've seen he IS doing a good job, and a much better job at keeping his promises than previous presidents, democrat stonewalling notwithstanding. And democrats will stonewall anything he does, sometimes to their own detriment. Just look how bad it made them look when they wouldn't release funds Trump requested to improve conditions at the ICE facilities.
I honestly believe that if Trump came up with a foolproof, /proven/ plan to end all poverty, famine, and child sex trafficking tomorrow, the dems would still block him.
Of course, if he offered to permanently double the salaries of all female politicians, they'd ram it through, pat themselves on the back and loudly proclaim "we beat him!"
Now, you might think I'm just spouting sexist rhetoric, but really I'm just exaggerating for effect what actually happened at the last state of the union address.
The racist stuff is written by idiots who be like desperately trying to find *anything* they can use to make people hate Trump, like they do. It's pretty sad when you hate your president more than you love your own country. And pretty sad when it's impossible to spot the obvious fact that the Dimocrat overlords want to keep people down, so they can buy their votes.
"And don't use "be like" unless you're actually black"?
That was actually a pretty racist thing for you to say. One, because you appear to be assuming the skin color of MemefordandSons. And two, even if you're not assuming that, you're assuming not only that black people invented the grammatically incorrect phrase, but that only black people are illiterate enough to use it. A phrase that is in ridiculously common usage in memes everywhere, mind you.
The rest of your response is just utterly moronic drivel. You have no /legitimate/ way to back up the claim that Trump is racist, let alone the most racist president in the last century.
Let's not forget, the so-called "switch" didn't happen until the mid-50's, so you've still got more than 30 years to go before you can claim any democrat president /wasn't/ a huge racist. Just look at FDR and LBJ, massive racists.
Republicans had some fairly racist presidents too, of course, like Eisenhower and Nixon.
And all of those I named were /within/ the last 100 years. Claiming Trump is "the most racist" in that time frame (let alone that he's racist at all), just makes you look like a chest-thumping retard.

We can use any terminology we feel like. You don't get to tell us what we get say and don't say just because you feel queasy about it.
