Default Is Donald Trump a Racist?

Is Donald Trump a Racist?
New York Times
July 23rd 2016
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/24/op...cist.html?_r=0

'Here we have a man who for more than four decades has been repeatedly associated with racial discrimination or bigoted comments about minorities, some of them made on television for all to see. While any one episode may be ambiguous, what emerges over four decades is a narrative arc, a consistent pattern- and I don't see what else to call it but racism.'

Asking if Donald Trump is racist is like asking if Hershey's makes chocolate.

Donald Trump may dislike some people.

But Hillary seems to dislike all people.

Even SNL picked up on that.

I think you are misconstruing the term.

no, he's not. nor am I, and I am a trump supporter. he wasn't my first choice, but he's so much better than Killary.

Nice job liberals, trying to change the subject after y'all got busted with emails again.

"I have a great relationship with the blacks.”
-Donald Trump on the Fred Dicker radio show, April 14, 2011

(Sarcastic tone)
Certainly what a not racist person would say.

I believe it is also a control issue ,
my observation is the need to have it "my way "or "no way "and then throw a tantrum and play victim when control is not achieved , probably deep seated female/mother issues coupled with small hands

Sorry- posting a link to a journalistic article commenting on a history of allegedly racist incidents involving a candidate for the US Presidency is not 'race-bating'. Sorry, it really isn't.

I think Lindsey is probably a big Trump supporter. I don't think he would like his nice Beverley Hills neighborhood to be destroyed by the Islamic State.

That's a pretty BIG assumption to make.

I've listened to all of his songs and I have come to the conclusion that's what he thinks.
