The only people or organizations who still support him are those who support white supremacy. So I definitely won’t knowingly fund [b]that[/b]. Thanks for the info.

@bijouxbroussard OMG this is hilarious
@GJOFJ3 I’m actually not amused by white supremacists.
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
@bijouxbroussard your unfounded, untrue ridiculous claim is what is hilarious
@GJOFJ3 Trump’s a racist. The people who still support him are either racists themselves, or they don’t care that [b]he[/b] is because they’re getting something else from him. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@bijouxbroussard this type of over the top hyperbole is intellectual dishonesty at best. There is zero evidence that President Trump is a racist.
Could you or anyone who shares your incorrect opinion demonstrate how President Trump is a racist? @bijouxbroussard
@GJOFJ3 There’s actually quite a bit, because Trump has always been willing to say things off the cuff [b]in public[/b] and then simply lie about it when questioned. All you have to do is look at the way he treated his [b]predecessor[/b]. Then there are the comments he’s made about wanting more “European” immigrants (from Norway, for example) as opposed to those from “sh*thole” countries...
And that doesn’t even address the days when he and his father were sued for discrimination. I [b]get[/b] that his supporters want to ignore it, but one of the best ways you know is all of the Neo-Nazis who think he’s the “greatest hope of white America”. You know, the “fine people on both sides” Trump mentioned when they marched in Charlottesville in 2017.
@Native Read above, although I’ll be happy to add more examples collected over the years. Not sure what the point is, though, his supporters are [b]much[/b] more concerned about being called racists, than actually [b]being[/b] racists. So he could lynch someone and you wouldn’t say a word.

@bijouxbroussard There is plenty more where that came from. There was The Donald's illegal rental practices during the 1970s for which he and his father were found guilty. The case of the Central Park Five, for whom he called for the death penalty AFTER they were exonerated. His campaign announcement speech where he called Mexicans rapists and criminals. His comments on Judge Curiel, an American-born judge of Mexican descent, who Trump said was unfit for hearing his case because of his ancestry. His Muslim ban. His deliberate separation of Hispanic children from their parents requesting asylum at the border, using them as pawns and deterrents. There can be no doubt from both his words and actions that he is a racist and white supremacist. And his supporters condone his behavior and actions.
European does not mean white. Much like African does not mean black. Those are shit hole countries, not because of the color of the people, but because they have terrible governments and are poor. Their own fault. All Black Panthers supported Obama, so was he racist as well? The fine people on both sides were in reference to people on the left and right that opposed the white supremacist. @bijouxbroussard
@snowbelt Absolutely right. But his faithful have to make excuses for him.

@Native [quote]All Black Panthers supported Obama,[/quote]
That's actually not true. You're apparently unaware that the "new" Black Panthers are not the folks from the 1970s (who were [b]not[/b] racists and had white allies) but a faction of NOI (Nation of Islam) who co-opted the name in the 21st century. They're [b]separatists[/b] and they generally don't like mixed race blacks any more than the KKK. They were saying Obama wasn't "black" enough. Although that didn't stop racist right-wingers from photoshopping in order to pass on that lie.

But Trump has his own record, as mentioned.
[quote]The fine people on both sides were in reference to people on the left and right that opposed the white supremacist.[/quote]

Actually, the march by the white supremacists was entitled the [big][b]Unite the Right rally[/b][/big]...ergo, the "people on the right" [b]were[/b] the white supremacists.
Well, you’re lying, because he did not call for the death penalty after they were exonerated. So yeah, you can hang that shit up. Also he didn’t say, “Those Mexican’s are all rapist and killers”. He said Mexico(the country) is not sending their best people over, as well as some okay people<-( that part ALWAYS gets ignored) He is not striping children from people requesting asylum, they aren’t requesting asylum, they are entering the country illegally, breaking the law and suffering the consequences. Though, he did propose a bill that would provide more money to properly take care of all the ILLEGAL immigrant in those facilities but the Democratic Party shut it down. He proposed a temporary Muslim ban, that’s a religion, not a race. @snowbelt
Oh, so there are 2 versions of the black supremacist, ok, so blacks are more racist, got it.
In that same vain, not all the right groups there that day were nazis.(there are black republicans)
Just using your logic in this response.

@Native This includes actual testimony from one of the lawsuits:
[quote]. “You Don’t Want to Live With Them Either”

The Justice Department’s 1973 lawsuit against Trump Management Company focused on 39 properties in New York City. The government alleged that employees were directed to tell African American lease applicants that there were no open apartments. Company policy, according to an employee quoted in court documents, was to rent only to “Jews and executives.”

The Justice Department frequently used consent decrees to settle discrimination cases, offering redress to plaintiffs while allowing defendants to avoid an admission of guilt. The rationale: Consent decrees achieved speedier results with less public rancor.

Nathaniel Jones was the general counsel for the NAACP. He later became a federal judge. John Yinger, an economist specializing in residential discrimination, served at the time as an expert witness in a number of fair-housing cases. Elyse Goldweber, a Justice Department lawyer, brought the first federal suit against Trump Management.

NATHANIEL JONES: The 1968 Fair Housing Act gave us leverage to go after major developers and landlords. The situation in New York was terrible.

JOHN YINGER: Community groups like the Urban League started doing audits and tests to show discrimination. In 1973, the Urban League found a lot of discrimination in some of the properties that Trump Management owned.

ELYSE GOLDWEBER: I went to a place called Operation Open City. What they had done was send “testers”—meaning one white couple and one couple of color—to Trump Village, a very large, lower-middle-class housing project in Brooklyn. And of course the white people were treated great, and for the people of color there were no apartments. We subpoenaed all their documents. That’s how we found that a person’s application, if you were a person of color, had a big C on it.

The Department of Justice brings the case and we name Fred Trump, the father, and Donald Trump, the son, and Donald hires Roy Cohn, of Army-McCarthy fame. [Cohn, a Trump mentor, had served as Senator Joe McCarthy’s chief counsel during his investigations of alleged Communists in the government and was accused of pressuring the Army to give preferential treatment to a personal friend.] Cohn turns around and sues us for $100 million. This was my first appearance as a lawyer in court. Cohn spoke for two hours, then the judge ruled from the bench that you can’t sue the government for prosecuting you. The next week we took the depositions. My boss took Fred’s, and I got to take Donald’s. He was exactly the way he is today. He said to me at one point during a coffee break, “You know, you don’t want to live with them either.”

Everyone in the world has looked for that deposition. We cannot find it. Trump always acted like he was irritated to be there. He denied everything, and we went on with our case. We had the records with the C, and we had the testers, and you could see that everything was lily-white over there. Ultimately they settled—they signed a consent decree. They had to post all their apartments with the Urban League, advertise in the Amsterdam News, many other things. It was pretty strong.

JOHN YINGER: Trump had some interesting language after the settlement: He said that it did not require him to accept people on welfare, which was kind of beside the point.

Under the terms of the settlement, reached in 1975, the Trumps did not admit to any wrongdoing. But soon, according to the government, they were back at it. In 1978, the Justice Department alleged that Trump Management was in breach of the agreement. The new case dragged on until 1982, when the original consent decree expired and the case was closed. Soon, Trump’s headquarters would be installed in Trump Tower, which opened in February 1983. Barbara Res was the construction manager.

BARBARA RES: We met with the architect to go over the elevator-cab interiors at Trump Tower, and there were little dots next to the numbers. Trump asked what the dots were, and the architect said, “It’s braille.” Trump was upset by that. He said, “Get rid of it.” The architect said, “I’m sorry; it’s the law.” This was before the Americans With Disabilities Act, but New York City had a law. Trump’s exact words were: “No blind people are going to live in this building.”

ELYSE GOLDWEBER: Was he concerned about injustice? No. Never. This was an annoyance. We were little annoying people, and we wouldn’t go away.

BARBARA RES: As far as discrimination, he wouldn’t discriminate against somebody who had $3 million to pay for a three-bedroom apartment. Eventually he had some very unsavory characters there. But if you read John O’Donnell’s book [Trumped! The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump—His Cunning Rise and Spectacular Fall, written with James Rutherford and published in 1991], Trump talked about how he didn’t want black people handling his money; he wanted the guys with the yarmulkes. He was very much the kind of person who would take people of a religion, like Jews; or a race, like blacks; or a nationality, like Italians, and ascribe to them certain qualities. Blacks were lazy, and Jews were good with money, and Italians were good with their hands—and Germans were clean.

NATHANIEL JONES: Consent decrees were an important tool. The sad thing now is that, in his last act as Trump’s attorney general, Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum curtailing enforcement programs and consent decrees across the board when it comes to discrimination.

@Native The proof is everywhere,,,beginning with him discriminating against people of color when renting apartments in NYC...it's well documented...but you, like that moron, will claim it is fake news...why bijoux is wasting her time on you is beyond me...you refuse to see any ugly truths about that racist pig

You're not using [b]any[/b] kind of logic because you clearly don't know the facts. For example, you don't know anything about the Black Panthers, the name is just your dog whistle---and you basically proved it.

The first group came about in the early 70s and they weren't separatists, they worked with other groups, made sure that people knew their rights when the police would harass and profile individuals, and like I said, they had white allies who would help with food drives in poorer neighborhoods. [b]They[/b] actually [b]sued[/b] the current group to try and stop them from taking the name, but lost. This current group [b]is[/b] classified as a hate group, the others were not.

The majority of people involved with the march were white supremacists, and they ended up killing a woman when one them deliberately hit a group of protestors with his vehicle.

The very first time Donald Trump’s name appeared in a New York Times article was for being a racist. It was literally his introduction to the world. It’s been part of who he is from the beginning.

https://www.nytimes.com/1973/10/16/archives/major-landlord-accused-of-antiblack-bias-in-city-us-accuses-major.html

One man killed one woman. He drove into a crowd of all races, I’m very aware. Trump didn’t drive that car into that group of people. Even if every white racist on earth supported Trump, that doesn’t make him a racist. None of his policies or actions have been motivated by race. He puts America first, not illegal immigrants.

Did you read the article? Hey, I accuse you a racist. There, that holds the same weight as that article. @SW-User
@Native So in spite of all of the examples [b]several[/b] of us have given you, you just don't [b]want[/b] to believe it. That's the bottom line. Donald Trump has been a racist for a very long time. And his supporters are either racists themselves or willing to ignore it because they're getting something else from him.

[quote]None of his policies or actions have been motivated by race. He puts America first, not illegal immigrants.
[/quote]

Just because you don't want to [b]see[/b] it doesn't mean it isn't so. "European immigrants---like Norway". is pretty clear to anyone paying attention. So illegality is not his only concern.

Go on back to your Klan meeting.
You all haven’t given examples. You’ve given lies. Trump wants no illegal immigrants. Anyone is welcome to come legally. @bijouxbroussard

Sure. Your random and anonymous accusation has as much merit as a New York Times article based on a federal lawsuit filed by the Civil Rights Division of The Department of Justice in which Trump later settled in 1975 by agreeing to cease any discriminatory practices. 🙄 @Native
