American family feuds, Trump, politics

Bullshit. He wanted a judge recused from the Trump Univ. case because of his Hispanic heritage. He has said denigrating things about Jews and blacks as well as the infamous "shithole countries" remark. If you don't see anything racist about that, there's no help for you.

PS -- Mexico doesn't "send" ppl here. They come here voluntarily to escape horrendous conditions in Mexico and Central America.

What race are you referring to?
 
Because he thought that judge was biased against him due to his Mexican heritage. Not because he hates Mexicans.
What did he say about Jews and Blacks? I doubt he hates Jews, considering his son-in-law and most of his donors are Jewish, and he's a cuck for Israel.
The third world countries he was talking about actually are terrible countries to live in. Recognizing this doesn't make someone racist. Maybe calling them "shitholes" was insensitive, but it isn't racist. He's talking about the countries, not the people.

Yes, Trump was wrong about that, but he was still talking about illegal immigrants, not ALL Mexicans.

Pull your head out of Trumps ass.

Don't let lefties get into discussion of Mexicans when the discussion is about race. Mexican is not a race.

Wrong. He *assumed* that the judge would be biased due to his DNA, and lashed out at him. That's the very foundation of racism -- assuming that a person will think/act in a certain way due to their ethnicity, and treating them poorly because of it.

"Next in the Trump record on race came a 1991 book by John O’Donnell, who had been president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. 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.”

"O’Donnell’s report was shocking, but Trump did not contest it at the time. In 1997 he was interviewed for Playboy by author Mark Bowden and he confirmed that the O’Donnell book was “probably true.”" (http://fortune.com/2016/06/07/donald-trump-racism-quotes/)

He was talking about the people. The context was immigration, and he wanted immigrants from "Norway," not those "shit-hole countries."

I realize that this conversation is futile; you want to believe that he's not racist; I know that he is, but no proof will suffice since you have decided otherwise.

Second hand quotes. The quote marks are not because Trump said these words, they are because somebody else said that Trump said.

It certainly fits in with all his other bigotted statements and actions. Not hard to believe that arrogant racist said that. Those Pocahontas remarks are both racist and misogynist. That is both you and Trump.

I guess it depends on what your definition of racism is. I see racism as disliking someone, and treating them badly, because of their race or ethnicity. I don't think assuming that ethnic groups stick together is racism.

I doubt Trump read that book or even knew what was in it. Unless he admitted to the quotes themselves, I don't believe he said those things. Besides, this is stuff he supposedly said back in the nineties, over twenty years ago.

Yes, but he didn't say the people were shit-hole people. He was talking about the cultures they are coming from. Bernie Sanders was also against third world immigration, even if he was nicer in how he put it.

I'm not a Trump supporter, so I don't care much either way. However, I do think these nonsense claims are going to help get him reelected. Cortez already shot herself in the foot by calling him racist.
