    'Uncle Ben'? Eventually, all of Trump's worms turn on him.

    Yes. Although he’s too ignorant to know. It’s not his words but rather his actions.

    Donald Trump is a racist, a bigot, a liar, and a cheat. He is also a criminal which will be proven after the election as he comes under investigation.

    Please don't thank me for endowing you with information and knowledge which you and your ilk are apparently unable to acquire yourselves:

    Pith, deflection, and, nothingness.... Like the constant yammering noise from the Left of "racism, racism, racism", you contribute nothing in the way of a thoughtful rejoinder. It must be unpleasant to swim mentally in waters so shallow....

    Parenthetically, one wonders if all the rest of humanity might not have been considerably better off if white and oriental races had left African negro populations entirely alone, so better to enjoy their idyllic 'Stone Age' lives, undisturbed by the rigors involved in having to deal with science, technology, architecture, medicine, hygiene, mathematics, literature, etc., etc., etc. Ah, their simple, pastoral lives could have continued in a blissful enjoyment of thatched huts, slash-and-burn agriculture, 'bush-meat', no troubling 'written-language', and, unending tribal warfare and SLAVERY... with blissful lives that typically ended before the age of thirty....

    How could we white people be so damned cruel...? :lonely:

    I'm not sure Trump is capable of being genuine about anything. :cool:

    Racism is the only 'genuine' attribute Trump has. Everything else is bogus.

    No one ever hinted at Trump being a racist until after he announced his candidacy for President.

    I believe it has been reasonably established that Trump has had a racist attitude towards blacks, in particular as a New York real estate guy trying to keep black people out of his apartments.

    He has also said racist things as president, such as when he complained about "shithole" countries, told non-white members of Congress to go back to their home countries (despite their having been born in the US), and lamented that we don't get more immigrants from Scandinavia.

    Not true, but most of the country wasn't aware and didn't really care about his racism before he announced his candidacy for President.

    Of course you do. You can't actually demonstrate the racism, but you believe it.
    And, of course, in the full context, you cannot demonstrate how these statements were racist.
    Demonstrate otherwise.

    The context does not change the meaning of what he said.

    They're quite obviously racist. What is there to demonstrate?

    Clearly, you know you are incapable of actually demonstrating the racism you claim is contained in those statements.
    Thus, I accept your concession of the point.

    More unsubstantiated blather, and nothing else? :roll:

    Well, I'm still waiting for one of you Trump-haters to tell us all one (ONE) derogatory remark that Donald Trump has made about negroes. When you can do that ONE simple thing, maybe the rest of us can start to take anything you say seriously.

    Be careful, though.... Now the internet is starting to sprout things that JOE BIDEN has said through the years that are unabashedly racist! So, for you on the Left, this could easily boil down to "pot-calling-the-kettle-black".... :nana:

    Trump lobbied Palm Beach County so he could be allowed to have black and Jewish people admitted to his club. It was not allowed until he fought for it. Jessie Jackson gave him an award, something about being a friend to the black community.

    Answer is NO, definitely not. He may use racial issues to his advantage, though. He's mostly an opportunist, who will say anything to further his agenda.

    I think everyone Trump's age says racist or racially insensitive things. Some more so than others. He is like the crazy grandparent or uncle at the Christmas dinner table. You love him because he is family so you have to invite him but you wish they would not speak in front of the kids. An example of something racially insensitive IMO would be Kung Flu. An example of racist would be the statement that the American judge of Mexican heritage would not judge him fairly because he wants to build a wall. That said I think when you view the past with today's standards it is easy to find racism everywhere. I can look back at the cartoons and tv shows I watched as a kid and I am sure people can find racially insensitive things in those.

    You have yet to demonstrate how the context changes the clear meanings of these racist statements.

    He got nailed in court for discriminatory practises.

    More revealing is his desire to keep the Central Park 5 in jail after DNA evidence exonerated them..

    Were the 5 the ones who beat that woman jogger senseless (permanently disabled and lost 80% of her blood), but apparently were not the ones who raped her, after abandoning her lifeless body?

    So why didn't the police charge them with that?

    Which is, of course, not the same thing as racism.
    Feel free to try again,
