Is Trump Racist?

I think we can all agree that calling someone a racist out of the blue just for having a different political opinion is uncalled for and isn’t something that is good for public discourse.

But what if enough evidence has been compiled to show a pattern of racially charged statements and ignorant claims which the only conclusion can be their views are that the white race is supreme to all others? Couldn’t then we could label someone a racist?

From observing Donald J. Trump​ since before his candidacy when he was a reality show host, to the moment he stepped off the escalator at Trump Tower, to today, we at Stop The Donald Trump​ have catalogued all of his controversial statements. So let’s take a quick look at some actual quotes by Donald Trump:

1. Trump began his campaign calling Mexicans “rapists, murderers, and drug dealers” and as an afterthought, some he assumed were good people.

Trump described people from Mexico as having “lots of problems”, drug users, rapists, and criminals. By painting a large swath of people with a single brush as “dangerous” he is using baseless stereotyping in an attempt to prove that Hispanics are different in their social behavior.

2. And if you think that was a gaffe or anything innocent, he said Mexicans are rapists while under oath.

He literally put his hand on a Bible, swore to tell the truth on it, and called Mexicans rapists.

3. Trump tweeted a racially charged jab at Jeb Bush’s wife.

By earlier characterizing Mexican “illegals” as murderers, criminals, and rapists, he is starting from a basis of racism for his premise.

These are only a small subset of examples and we could go over dozens more, but can you see a pattern?

I think with this evidence we have more than enough examples where we can safely say Donald Trump holds racist views.

And if someone you know can’t see why these statements and actions are racist, agrees with them, or think they don’t go far enough, well, maybe you should start looking at their pattern of behavior too.
