Isn't it ironic...
The left calls Trump a racist every other day (Even though they can provide a single example), yet today I see their front runner Joe Biden apologizing for his racist activity in the past. What am I missing here????

In 1973, Trump was sued successfully by the DOJ for racial discrimination. The Trumps wanted to reduce the number of blacks in their buildings and told rental agents not to rent to blacks.
[quote]In 1989, he told Bryant Gumbel in an interview, “A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market…if I was starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I really do believe they have the actual advantage today. “[/quote]
Trump took out full page newspaper ads after the Central Park Five were accused of attacking a white jogger in Central Park. They were convicted and served years in prison, but were finally exonerated with DNA evidence. Trump continued to call for their executions, even though they were innocent.
In a 1991 book by John O'Donnell, who had been president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City [quote] O’Donnell quoted Trump saying,“ Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys wearing yarmulkes… Those are the only kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else…Besides that, I tell you something else. I think that’s guy’s lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks.”[/quote]
No black or Hispanic executive has ever played a prominent public role in the Trump business organization.
He started the birther movement, a racist attack on the birthplace of President Obama.
In his campaign announcement, he denounced Mexicans as rapists and criminals.
During the campaign, he referred to a man attending a rally as "my African-American".
He attacked a Hispanic judge born in Indiana, Judge Gonzalo Curiel, saying that he was a "Mexican" and was therefore inherently biased.
Trump banned all Muslims from entering the US, but had to back down after court decisions went against him.
Trump used the N-word frequently on The Apprentice. It is on tape.
Trump said of the white supremacists and protesters at Charlottesville "There were good people on both sides."
The difference between Biden and Trump is that Biden realizes that his past actions to work with white supremacists were wrong, and he is apologizing. Trump, a white supremacist himself, believes his racism and white supremacy is right, and will never apologize for anything.
