Is Trump a racist?

I was tempted to just write yes and end the post, but let me address this in more detail.

One of the reasons I find it difficult to be civil with Trump supporters is that I knew the answer to this question long before the election in 2016.  The whole “birther” business was racist.  Comments made about Mexicans months before the election were racist.  Policies at Trump’s casinos and Trump’s rental properties were racist.  People who voted for him had to either know this or had to dismiss it as unimportant. 


There is nothing Trump has done since his election to make me change my mind.  He has reinforced what I already knew.  The man is racist to his core.  As Martin Luther King taught, there is always room for redemption, of course, but I don’t see that happening.

  2. The amazing thing is that there are still people who are asking that question.
