I keep hearing people defend Donald Trump and say he's not a racist but the facts are that they can not back up that statement with facts. The fact is history shows that Donald Trump is indeed a racist by any definition and has been for a long time not just since he started running for President.
In 1973 the government sued Donald J Trump for refusing housing for minorities, he would come up with different housing terms for people based on their race and color and would lie to African Americans and tell them there were no spaces available while telling white people that there was indeed space available. This follows in his fathers footsteps of a long family history of discriminating against people based on their race.
In 1989 he went on a one man crusade against the "central park 5" he took out a full page ad in the paper calling for these 5 black men to be put to death without any evidence or proof of their guilt. 13 years later it was proven these men were wrongfully accused and found guilty of the crime Donald Trump wanted them killed for, they were released in 2002 and to this day he has still never apologized.
Many former employees have talked about Trump racism including an man who wrote a book quoting Donald Trump as saying “And isn’t it funny. I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. . . . I think the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”
In 1993 he took his racism out on Native Americans when he went before a government committee attacking them on their looks and slandering them based on their heritage. Proving once again that Mr. Trump racism knows no bounds.
He was sued again in 1992 and 1996 for his racist actions against African Americans and paid out large fines after he was found guilt.
These are all before he spent years accusing the first African American president of being unAmerican and born in Kenya not America. Before he announced he was running for president by calling Mexicans rapists, drug dealers and killer and before calling his supporters to violence against those who do not agree with him.
Violence and hate crimes committed against minorities or Muslims have increased since Donald Trump announced he was running for president and violence by white supremacists has really increased since he was elected and sworn into office.
When I say that Donald j. Trump is 100% a racist I can back that up with facts and history, when you say "he is not a racist" I'll wait for you to prove it but won't hold my breath.
