Ha. That is truly laughable.
To be sure, here’s a list of examples of Trump’s blatant racism that dates back to his time as a New York real-estate developer in the 1970s and ├óΓé¼╦£80s.
Follow along (below)!
— According to the federal government, Trump’s company gave preferential treatment to whites in order to avoid renting to African Americans.
— Trump reportedly criticized his black casino employees saying:
“Black guys counting my money! I hate it. ├óΓé¼┬ª I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks.”
— In the late ’80s, Trump took out a full page ad in the New York Times demanding the death penalty for five black and Latino teens accused of raping a white woman in Central Park. He continued to argue they were guilty, even after DNA evidence had exonerated them.
— On NBC in 1989, Trump said:
“I think sometimes a black may think they don’t have an advantage or this and that. I’ve said on one occasion, even about myself, if I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I really believe they do have an actual advantage.”
— During his presidential campaign, he called Mexican immigrants criminals and “rapists.”
— In December 2015, Trump called for a “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”
— Trump once said a federal judge working on a lawsuit against Trump University was biased because of his Mexican heritage.
— In June 2017, Trump said thousands of recent immigrants from Haiti “all have AIDS.”
— Trump spent years spewing lies about Barack Obama‘s birth country, saying he was born in Kenya and not the United States.
— He is quick to point out crimes committed by dark-skinned people, and not those by white people.
— He called white supremacists rallying in Charlottesville “very fine people.”
— Trump has supported the likes of Roy Moore and Steve Bannon.
— Trump once referred to a Hispanic Miss Universe as “Miss Housekeeping.”
