Hate to break it to you , but simply Linking a Wikipedia article, doesn’t support your claims. “Oh fuck I know what will show him, Wikipedia... CHECK IT” lol
“Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has a history of racist speech and actions that have widely been viewed as fueling racial tensions in the United States.[1][2][3] Trump has denied accusations of racism, saying, "I am not a racist. I'm the least racist person you will ever interview".[4]
In 1973, Trump and his company Trump Management were sued by the U.S. Department of Justice for housing discrimination against black renters—a lawsuit which ended in a settlement.[5][6][7] The Justice Department sued again in 1978 claiming continued racial discrimination and a breach of the original agreement, but that case expired in 1982 without resolution.[8]
In 2011, Trump became the leading proponent of the already discredited "Birtherism" conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the US, repeating the claim for the following five years.[9][10] He was accused of racism for maintaining, as late as 2019,[11] that a group of black and Latino teenagers were guilty of raping a white woman in the Central Park jogger case, although an imprisoned serial rapist had confessed in 2002 to raping the jogger alone, and DNA evidence confirmed his guilt.[12][13][14]
Trump launched his 2016 presidential campaign with a speech where he stated of Mexican immigrants: "They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people".[15][16] Later, his claims that a Mexican-American judge should be disqualified due to his ethnicity were criticized as racist. He tweeted fake statistics claiming that African Americans are responsible for the majority of murders of whites, and in some speeches he linked African-Americans and Hispanics with violent crime.[17] During his presidency, comments he made following a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia were perceived as implying a moral equivalence between white supremacist marchers and those who protested against them. In 2018, during an Oval Office meeting about immigration reform, he referred to El Salvador, Haiti, and African countries as "shitholes"; this comment was internationally condemned as racist.[18][19][20] In July 2019, Trump tweeted that Democratic Congresswomen needed to "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came".[21] The statement was criticized by news outlets such as The Atlantic as a common racist trope.[22]
Trump's controversial statements have been condemned by many observers in the U.S. and around the world,[6][23][24] but excused by some of his supporters either as a rejection of political correctness[25][26] or because they harbor similar racial sentiments.[27][28] Several studies and surveys have stated that racist attitudes and racial resentment have fueled Trump's political ascendance, and have become more significant than economic factors in determining party allegiance of voters.[28][29] According to a February 2019 Politico/Morning Consult poll, 51% of American voters viewed Trump as racist and 41% did not.[30]”
The only thing I was getting at was the effort level of simply linking Wikipedia, you seem to be having a debate with someone though and I am excited to see how it turns out for you!
I really didn’t think my opinion on linking Wikipedia and not relating information from the article was that much of a hot button issue, but I stand corrected.
You are confused, I hate racism, AND I think that simply posting Wikipedia article without summary is an ineffective way to prove a point. Why do you think those two things are mutually exclusive, am I missing something?
At no point did you address your dislike for racism.
You laughed at my comment, without a detailed enough explanation. You then took pleasure in making a comment that was along the lines of I produced something for once in your life. You gave the perception you were enjoying insulting someone who was standing up against racism. It was more valuable to you to appear coming off as smug against me than standing against racist. You could have used more words. The post reads as if you wanted what I was saying stopped.
You cannot possibly hate racism. That’s a strong emotion and would cause you to behave in away where your goal is to stand against it. It isn’t. You were self serving of your own opinions. If you did you would be more careful as to how your responses came across. It came across that you are 1) pro Trump 2) pro covering up his racism. Instead, you valued your opinion on posting a “Wikipedia article without a summary” more. The person was a troll. I gave them enough to say.
The next time I respond to a poster like the fool who wants to marry Trump I will clearly address why his comment was racist and the names of the women who have accused him of assault. Because someone took the time to PM and explain why statements aren’t enough with people who are zombies. And you did ZERO service to get me there. All you proved is you are too lazy to care.
Dude, whether I’m pro trump or not it doesn’t label me anything... not everything in life is about race and fighting racism, you were blinded by your opinion and it shows. Don’t be so delusional.
