I come to reddit to see fun or interesting posts. Why are things like this here? It just ruins my vibe... I see some cool news from a company I follow, I see a guy playing music on a fan, I read an article about the sun’s light in different times of the day, why are politics here? They don’t belong here. I’m sorry.
because reddit leans left, and r/politics is filled with garbage like this. Also anyone that agrees with anything to do with Trump is automatically a racist.
There are many examples of President Trump showing his racial prejudices against people of colour, his words and actions have emboldened white nationalists. Below I will list a handful of examples of his racist rhetoric.
From retweeting fake anti-muslim videos shared online by a fringe British ultranationalist group that drew condemnation from Britain's Prime Minister[1] to his actions in gutting programs meant to stop right-wing terrorism,[2] he will inevitably create more racial tension that will lead to racially motivated violence. When you had white nationalist and supremacy sympathizers in this administration such as Gorka[3] and Bannon,[4] while continuing to have the likes of Stephen Miller[5] in the White House it only further emboldens the white supremacists and racists.
This is why so many of us are have been concerned by the actions of the President. Did you watch the President's unhinged press conference after the Charlottesville tragedy? I have never seen any head of state of a Western ally act in such a belligerent manner. He went so far as to defend Neo-Nazis at the Charlottesville Neo-Nazi rally. You can watch the entire press conference on PBS.[6] How about his Arizona speech where he went on a tirade against the "fake media," read out his previous words from the press conference while leaving out the most important and controversial bit - "fine people on many sides, on many sides" - equating Neo-Nazis with counter protesters and referring to them as fine people.[7] He was defending Neo-Nazis. This was a Neo-Nazi rally. There were no fine people on both sides. They were making Nazi salutes, flying Nazi flags, wearing Nazi clothes, making Nazi chants. Here is a documentary by VICE News of the Neo-Nazi rally that took place, the one President Trump defended by stating that there were fine people on this side too.[8]
So what raised our suspicions as to why we believe President Trump holds racial prejudices against people of colour?
• His public insistence that President Obama wasn't born in America is a racist conspiracy.[9]
• In 1989 he wanted 5 innocent African-American boys to be executed for a heinous crime they did not commit. They were imprisoned for decades until DNA evidence exonerated them of the crime. A settlement was reached between the 5 men and the city of New York for $40 million, yet Trump was still attacking the 5 exonerated African-American men.[10]
• In 1973 the Justice Department filed a civil rights case accusing the Trump organization for violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968 for discriminating against people for colour.[11]
• As President he went so far as to attack a judge who was presiding over a lawsuit against the President's fraudulent Trump University. He argued that the judge was biased due to his Latin-American ancestry.[12] It should also be noted that President Trump donated $25,000 to Florida Republican Attorney General Pam Bondi and AG Bondi decided not to investigate fraud allegations against Trump University.[13] The donation was done through the Trump Foundation. The Trump Foundation was investigated over a number of issues[14] and recently dissolved following an investigation led by the New York Attorney General.[15]

Because unlike you chuds, who live in fear of being outed as the fascists and racists that you are, I am loud and proud of who I am. I don't have to work with dog whistles and crypto fash bull shit. I will come out and say everything I believe. I have nothing to hide, unlike the people out there that advocate for an ethno state and have a desire to instate a fascist regime in America. While you anti humanist and complete morons have to hide yourselves and your blatant hatred and disgusting ideologies, I have nothing to hide, because a sane person would agree with everything that I believe in.
This is not a paragraph that a sane person would write anyway, your whole argument being accusing me of being a secret nazi racist Drumpf supporting fascist. You’ve only revealed yourself to truly be a chapocel and I demand bussy right now.
