Time to Say It: Trump Is a Racist

Jan. 12, 2018

This article is part of the Opinion Today newsletter. You can sign up here to receive the newsletter each weekday.

When it comes to President Trump and race, there is a predictable cycle. He makes a remark that seems racist, and people engage in an extended debate about whether he is personally racist. His critics say he is. His defenders argue for an interpretation in which race plays a secondary role (such as: Haiti really is a worse place to live than Norway).

It’s time to end this cycle.

No one except Trump can know what Trump’s private thoughts or motivations are. But the public record and his behavior are now abundantly clear. Donald Trump treats black people and Latinos differently than he treats white people.

And that makes him a racist.

In an age where posting a sign saying 'its OK to be white' makes our contemporary stewards of morality apoplexic.

Meh.

David Leonhardt is an open Leftist Communist. What do you expect him and this joke of a paper to say about Donny?

When is the NYT going to realize that the blue haired, pearl clutching, church bitty gossip circle act isn't going to work on the American public, no matter how many times they do it?

Time to Say It: NYT is Fake News

Trump is a racist for questioning the need to show preference to turd-world countries aka “shitholes” for immigration purposes?

Do any of the fools claiming they are moving to Canada, a predominantly white country, ever say they are moving to Mexico?

Haiti?
Africa?
Middle East?

Are they racist for prefering to flee to Canada or are they using good sense in their choice of a country to flee?

Nobody knows.  They never left...just another broken promise.

Just turn out half of their staff on the beach at Port Au Prince, without phones or money, and half in Oslo, and see who is happier to be where they are. Then we can call the other half "racists".

As a regular watcher of Wheel Of Fortune with the wife, I'm still waiting for an all expenses paid trip to Port Au Prince as one of the travel prizes. I might be waiting a very long time.

There actually was a line in the Beach Boys' "Kokomo" this goes Port Au Prince/I Want To Catch A Glimpse.


But then again what do you expect from someone who thought Indiana was in the Caribbean?

Well they can go screw themselves :P

I think they  might want to catch a whiff first....bottle some of that fresh Port Au Prince garbage heap air......then they most likely wouldn't want a glimpse.
