Former Trump executive: 'I do believe' Trump is a racist
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 01/16/18 11:53 AM EST

A former Trump business executive said that he believes that President Trump is racist.

Jack Oâ€™Donnell, the former president and COO of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, told CNNâ€™s Anderson Cooper that he does â€œbelieve [Trumpâ€™s] a racist."

Oâ€™Donnell made his most recent remarks about Trump as the president faces claims of racism over his comments describing African nations as â€œshithole countries.â€

â€œI believe anyone who has spent substantial amount of time around him in a casual atmosphere, whether itâ€™s business or dinner or lunch, I believe it would be very difficult that he wouldnâ€™t express these feelings to them over time,â€ Oâ€™Donnell said.

Iâ€™m not buying it. He defended Mike Tyson and said he was railroaded during the rape trial. Yes, he had a financial stake in the fighter, but a true racist would jump at the chance to say what an animal he was and attribute it to his color.

Trump is a Culturalist (and so am I), we believe in the superiority of Western Civilization. Sorry if the snowflakes can't handle that.

This fellow is a disgruntled former employee, by his own admission and has been shopping this trope around for years.

Does the word "racist" even mean anything any more?? Besides, "if you disagree with a dem, you're a racist."

More tripe from The Hill. Are they the new Newsweak?

FWIW, I seriously doubt Trump is a racist. Outside of the halls of liberalism itâ€™s hard to find a real hardcore racist these days.

Yes. Everyone is a racist. Who gives a crap whom hates whom because of skin color? I'm sick of it. The term has no power to intimidate, threaten, bully or otherwise coerce anyone into some stupid kind of apologetical defense anymore.

Fine. I'm a racist. Now whatcha gonna do about it?

I'm going to keep spewing the truth, after all, stereotypes exist for a reason.

I have friends from Nigeria, they are some of the best people I've ever known. They have no tolerance for so-called "African-American" culture, and they like Trump. They appreciate the fruits of Western Civilization, and can't understand why it's so constantly attacked by academics.

I am not a racist. I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper,. She's a Pepper, we're a Pepper, Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too? Be a Pepper everone.

I have plenty of dear friends and 'family' who are different skin colors and from different non-european countries, but because I have white skin, I am automatically deemed a 'racist' - so therefore fine, we're all racist because of our skin color and "privilege".

So - my response is what do they intend to do about it? Arrest me? Make policies that discriminate based on my skin color? Make policy that benefits those people of non-white skin color? - Errr - wait, we already have that in place. Sorry.

The true racists are those actually screaming and accusing 'racist'.

The fact that you are a 'racist' means that you aren't worthy of debating them.

I firmly believe that most black people don't think all whites, if given the opportunity, would light a cross on fire in a black persons yard. But they damn sure believe we'd all walk across the street to toast a few marshmallows on it.

The problem with calling everyone a racist, is that no one, then is a racist.

In addition, the fact that we are racist by reason of our birth, and our "privilege," we can't do a darn thing about it, so they have every white person in a box for all eternity.

Handy ploy the left has, considering that they want to avoid the real issue with this fake name-calling garbage.

Anyone calling someone a racist is not worth debating, because being called a racist means they are not interested in debate in the first place. They are interested only in shaming, bullying, intimidating or attempting to punish you by making the claim.

You cannot reason at all with such people, so why bother?

Which is why I say: "Okay - fine - I'm a racist. Now whatcha gonna do 'bout it?" Then some very interesting reveals suddenly happen and you discover that these are not people needing debate, these are people needing to be stopped before they have a chance to do what they intend.

These are the people who are always saying, "We need a conversation about Race"......No, what they really want is to LECTURE YOU ABOUT RACE.

Prune a faggottree at your own risk. Also, beware of falling fruits.
