The birther movement started by the clinton campaign and continued by Trump was stupid but not racist. You seem to be having trouble with the definition. To question where someone was born might be dumb but again...not racist.InHiding80 said:
Were you hiding in a cave when he went full birther or are you really that stupid? I'm going write the latter.BS44325 said:
I haven't seen the proof either. Lot of emoting and shouting but no proof.brianlux said:
You must have missed the several posts where that information has been offered. Maybe scan through the 35 Trump threads. There there.pjalive21 said:
where is your proof of this racism?? because the tv told you he was racist...because he said ILLEGALS? Because tv told you he supported David DukeFree said:It's refreshing to have a racist running for candidacy of president of the United States!

Here are just a few random articles/editorials to try and help explain where we are coming from when we accuse Trump of racism (threw in a video too). I know you guys are probably just waiting to hear something so basic it bashes you over the head and so that people with IQs of less than 60 could pick up on the nuance, but in the real world, most things are more complicated than that.

As hard as the Republican establishment, George Soros, The Koch Bros, etc are trying to stop him, how could anyone not believe that he is the perfect choice for the citizens...He is for the people NOT Wallstreet, Bankers, Big Pharma, Big Oil, and lobbyist`s like every other shill that is running or currently in Cuba watching a Baseball game.rollings said:It would be refreshing to have someone in charge who is not a politician, who is not a polished spokesperson, who is not indebted (obligated) to any particular person/place/or cause.
I have thought this for sometime before he came on the scene. It would be nice to have someone who speaks for themselves and does not rally the crowd based on some scripted bullshit that somebody else actually wrote and is actually expected to be said and which actually makes my eyes roll around so hard (so hard) so hard. (aka blah blah blah stfu)
Mind you, I would definitely vote for Keith Richards over Trump. Or even Jack Black maybe.
unfortunately, tho, they aren't running.
But Trump is.
wait, what is my one other choice? Hillary?
Well, at least I still have time to decide ......0 -
How could anyone believe that a megalomaniacal, filthy rich real estate tycoon who is obsessed with conspicuous consumption and hot models, who is totally detached from reality and preying on hate and fear to try and win an election, is "for the people"?? It would be funny that Trump has somehow managed to convince people of this, if it wasn't so disturbing.TL170678 said:

They only people "hating" are his evil protesters who are violent, and using censorship to silence their opponents rather than debate. Every time a liberal screams racist at him, the party gets a little more socialist. I have voted dem my entire life, but this is not the party I used to support.0

I also dislike Drumpf. Seeing him waving his finger and yapping with that mouth makes me angry. I also dislike that everybody talks as if Hillary already has the nomination. She has not. Bernie is still getting great support, the media just does not report it like with the other candidates.0 -
You mean the paid protesters that are at his private events screaming and trying to censor him? Hell yea they deserve their asses kicked!
Why is Trump racist? Because he wants a wall? Mexico has a wall on it`s south border to prevent contraband, crime, and immigration, but we can not? Or Is it because he does not want America to look like Brussels today. Hell I don`t either.0 -
I am hearing a lot of this - that people who are fighting against him and all that he represents: HATE, are hateful themselves. For it is those who say this, are the most in denial about Trump. They choose to see the "celebrity", the "popular" guy, the "guy from that reality TV show", the "guy who speaks his mind", "that guy who's not a politician", "that rich guy".TL170678 said:They only people "hating" are his evil protesters who are violent, and using censorship to silence their opponents rather than debate.

They actually will fully deny all facts of:
1. Actual quotes by Drumpf, including racist quotes, misogynist quotes, bigotry quotes etc.
2. his inciting hate and violence at his rallies
3. His lack of policies
4. His lack of sincerity in wanting to be presidentPost edited by Free on0 -

Better yet, they're like Peter Griffin when he's one of two people in an elevator and farts while later blaming the guy next to him.0 -
From FB:
Elizabeth Warren
on MondayLet’s be honest – Donald Trump is a loser. Count all his failed businesses. See how he kept his father’s empire afloat by cheating people with scams like Trump University and by using strategic corporate bankruptcy (excuse me, bankruptcies) to skip out on debt. Listen to the experts who’ve concluded he’s so bad at business that he might have more money today if he’d put his entire inheritance into an index fund and just left it alone.
Trump seems to know he’s a loser. His embarrassing insecurities are on parade: petty bullying, attacks on women, cheap racism, and flagrant narcissism. But just because Trump is a loser everywhere else doesn’t mean he’ll lose this election. People have been underestimating his campaign for nearly a year – and it’s time to wake up.
People talk about how "this is the most important election" in our lifetime every four years, and it gets stale. But consider what hangs in the balance. Affordable college. Accountability for Wall Street. Healthcare for millions of Americans. The Supreme Court. Big corporations and billionaires paying their fair share of taxes. Expanded Social Security. Investments in infrastructure and medical research and jobs right here in America. The chance to turn our back on the ugliness of hatred, sexism, racism and xenophobia. The chance to be a better people.
More than anyone we’ve seen before come within reach of the presidency, Donald Trump stands ready to tear apart an America that was built on values like decency, community, and concern for our neighbors. Many of history’s worst authoritarians started out as losers – and Trump is a serious threat. The way I see it, it’s our job to make sure he ends this campaign every bit the loser that he started it.0 -
