Hey, 17. So as not to disrupt the other thread too much.

Noah... how is Donald Trump a racist? Give me one single indisputable piece of evidence. Don't include illegals, or muslims. Show me something that he has said or done that is racist. Add sources also.  

The problem with "indisputable facts" is that people who don't want to believe them will dispute them. Just like there are people (B.o.b. I'm looking at you) who think the world is flat, there will be people who inherently can't accept the realities of who our current president is.

Instead you should ask for measures. 

How do I measure his racism? Here are some (but not all) of the things that I think make him a racist.

• His political history
  • He began his current political activity by challenging the authenticity of Barack Obama's presidency. He does not believe Obama was born in the US, believes Obama lied about his religious beliefs, and is lying about his belief in liberal policies so that he can usher in religious law. He has also stated that Obama is not smart enough to have attended Harvard or to have a law degree. 
• His allies
  • Arpiao openly called his prisons concentration camps, violated court orders that declared his practices to be racially discriminatory, and has also pushed race based conspiracy theories ranging from birtherism, to chain migration, and several others.
  • Putin is horrifically racist and trump loves him.
  • Jeff Sessions was voted by a Republican Congress to be too racist for the position that he is currently in a few decades ago. He previously came under fire for preventing black people from voting.
  • Although initially against Roy Moore, trump said it would be better to have him in office than a person who sought justice against the members of the Kkk who killed black children in the 60's. Doug Jones won the seat anyway and republicans were quick to point out that he was a very centrist Democrat so why was beating him so important they would embrace an accused pedophile? Roy Moore had a history of racism too.
  • Someone recently followed everybody trump follows on Twitter and demonstrated how it is a white supremacist echo chamber. I don't have the link handy but basically he follows (or has followed in the past) a lot of prominent white supremacist leaders.
• His statements
  • Trump or his administration have openly spread misinformation about violence in relation to race which was created and shared by white supremacist leaders to make black people and latinx immigrants appear more violent than white people and as a threat to white safety. These numbers were thoroughly debunked by federal agencies.
  • He declared that a federal judge was biased against him because the judge is of Latinx descent.
  • He refuses to denounce white supremacist violence and speaks more harshly of peaceful protestors than he did the white supremacist mob who killed a woman in Virginia.
  • He has been openly hostile to LEGAL immigration from Latin American countries, citing things like "chain migration" (which doesn't exist and is a known talking point by white supremacists).
  • His "travel ban" was supposed to expire after six months. It would target only Muslims from only specific middle eastern countries (despite the fact that there are more Muslims in Asian countries like Indonesia) so that they could fix a vetting process (which they have not changed or challenged in his entire term) which while not immediately identifiable as racist on the surface feeds into white supremacist conspiracy theories, fear mongering, and propaganda.
  • The department of justice removed white supremacist terrorist groups from their watch list and stated that they are low priority.
  • He reportedly did not believe his staff when they told him that most people in welfare are white.
• His focus
  • Trump has had time to criticize multiple POC for taking a stand against racism but largely ignores racial violence by white people. Outside of the white supremacist mob in Virginia, he ignored the bombings in Austin which targeted influential people of color. The only white victims were people who were accidentally exposed to the bombs through random chance. Etc
• How much he benefits from racism
  • His family businesses have been sued for racial discrimination in the past and he has since then challenged laws which protect people from the kind of practices his father was involved in. His father built their wealth in discrimination and he has made no genuine efforts to correct the disparity created in order to give him wealth. At best, he used new york liberalism to benefit publicly by promising donations which never turned up in the amount promised if they ever turned up at all, just to change his public image.
• His supporters
  • White supremacist leaders and organizers have openly embraced trump but he has never disavowed them. If David Duke or the trad worker party, or other known white supremacists came out and declared me their champion, the first thing I would do is point out that they are assholes. Trump can't find the time. Instead he retweets their racist propaganda.
  • A number of hate crimes have specifically mentioned Trump which shows that hate groups feel empowered by Trump. These range from teachers humiliating students in classes to vandalism to physical violence.
  • A recent profile of a white supremacist on vice refers to his behavior as "Trumping it". "I wasn't being racist when I yelled slurs at that kid, I was just Trumping It."
• The fact that you had to adjust your question to show him being racist but not against these people or these people. Lol. what. I mean just think about that.
