The Trump presidency has made racist tendencies acceptable worldwide. Younguns wouldn't know it but us oldheads can see society has reverted to the 1970's in many circumstances. Jim Crow II is blatant now political racialism is acceptable and promoted now in Israel and the EU & Britain.
Yes, there're many ytes, and others, fighting it. They don't appear to be winning where it counts. The mote racism and racialism incidents occur the more 'polite society' is less shocked by and grows calloused toward it.
Who's outraged by Trump racism anymore? It was never thought an impeachable offense. [/qb]

I'm no fan of Trump either, but I have to be honest that I don't find the guy racist. I've read his tweets and heard his speeches to see what the mainstream media says and I don't see any of it as racist. He's been a public figure for over 45 years and was never called racist until he ran against Hillary Clinton. Also I find it odd how a white guy like Trump who spent the last several decades investing in black owned businesses, black owned banks, and even donated to historically black colleges, desegregated Mar-a-Lago after buying it and inviting blacks like Snoop Dog, and was encouraged to run as president back in the 90s by his friend Oprah Winfrey would all of a sudden be a white supremacist.
That said, there's no denying that alt-right racists and white supremacists have joined into his bandwagon no doubt conflating his nationalism with their white nationalism despite his policies to help blacks and other minorities.
All in all, I don't think you can blame Trump or any one man for whatever racist activities are at foot especially in academia. [/QB]

You don’t think it’s suspicious that Trump recently told four congresswomen of color to “go back where they came from” despite three of them having been born in the US? Or that he was on the Birther bandwagon even before running for President? And then there’s his Muslim ban, his stereotyping Mexican immigrants, his wanting immigrants to come from Norway and other affluent European nations rather than Third World “shitholes”, etc...
The man may very well not be too invested in the white nationalist movement, but you can’t deny that he has no problem pandering to that crowd for his own self-interests. Which is pretty scummy in its own right.
Could you please do cite a reputable source claiming Trump has supported all those black businesses, colleges, etc.

It's ironic how he attracts a racist base. Calling Black males who protest against police brutally son's of bitches, and till this day keeps claiming the (exonerated) Central Park Five are guilty of whatever crime.

quote:What if Obama had acted like Trump?
So an overweight black man in his 40s, known for marrying the women with whom he has cheated on his wives, decides to run for president.
And that's the end of the story. But let's say he gets further.
It comes out, following accusations of rape and sexually harassing teenagers, that there's audio of him admitting to "grabbing [women] by the pussy."
That will certainly be the end, right? I mean, it just proves we can't have a black president in this country!
But he musters through it. Speaks like a 10-year old, lies about his wealth, his whole campaign team quits, is fired, or is later charged with crimes related to money laundering and working on behalf of a foreign agent.
He proceeds to call Europe "shithole countries" and suggests we need more immigrants from Lagos. He proposes a ban on Christians, which is only realized through a ban on anyone from the EU.
He wants to make cuts to the healthcare system that, while imperfect (2008 here) works to some degree. He wants to build a border wall with Canada. After all, "they send their worst people, they're sending their rapists, their murderers, their drugs!"
He begins rounding up every European that overstayed their Visa and sending them packing, and instructs ICE to enforce the law toward children first and foremost.
Had it been anyone other than a rich old white guy, you can imagine the shitstorm.
