A few months back I said Trump wasn't racist - he was a sexist but not racist. Now I'm not so sure. I don't think he is KKK material but he certainly says some really stupid stuff for someone who ostensibly is going to run for re-election in a few years.
Trump is a simple racist. There's no real complexity to it.
From his racist policies at the Trump Organization
To his open campaign against the innocent Central Park Five
To his racist promulgation of Birther claptrap
To his opening statement of his campaign
To his argument that Mexican Americans can't be judges
To his feud with NFL players
To his selective outrage at Black business leaders
To his pardoning of racism by Joe Arpaio
To his support of Roy Moore
To his open equation of the BLM movement with literal Nazis
To his demand to hold brown children hostage to his political agenda
And on..and on...and on.
I'm not surprised by this. Trump is a racist. Full stop. There's no need to analyze it. Just catalog the episodes. That's all we're doing.
