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.
Is it possible to defend some of his racially charged statements by pointing out that something other than race might explain them? Sure. Is it possible that he doesn’t think of himself as a racist who views white people as superior to nonwhite people? Yes.
But the definition of a racist — the textbook definition, as Paul Ryan might say — is someone who treats some people better than others because of their race. Trump fits that definition many times over:
• Trump’s real-estate company was sued twice by the federal government in the 1970s for discouraging the renting of apartments to African-Americans and preferring white tenants, such as “Jews and executives.”

NYT = Not Yielding to Truth
Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
Why don’t we follow Trump’s lead here on FR? Let’s limit posting headlines from these wretched Lying Leftist outlets. If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a reasonably reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization.
Let’s be entirely fair to the NYT...it’s a Shithole.
It’s all they got.
They can’t get him on policy, he’s got no scandals, there’s no proof of collusion, and he’s mentally competent.
So accusing him of racism is their last, desperate strategy.
Plus, it helps to get low-information minority voters off their duffs, which the Dems really need.
One think I disagree with him on. We have to be cautious about accepting immigrants from European countries as well, lest we let in another source of second generation Terrorists from Norway named Mohammed Mohammed Dirka Dirka Mohammed Jihad.
IMO all part of a strategy to fire-up minority voters before they trot Queen Oprah out there to hand her the nomination.
...and so the first question we *should* ask is “are these shithole countries?” If the answer is yes, then move on to the next scandal-de-jour.
DACA is sh$thole invasion.
Amnesty is sh$thole invasion.
Chain is sh$thole invasion.
3rd World is sh$thole invasion.
Stop sh$thole immigration, by a$$hole Democrats!
Time to say it: The NYT is run by a bunch of trust-fund, Leftist faggots.
What he said is the truth. Haiti IS the definition of shit hole country.
So is the truth racist or reality?
While channel surfing I caught a segment of the SNL news cast where the black anchor was explaining that Trump’s MAGA was racist, due to the fact that America was historically racist and to MAGA was to restore America’s racism. I kid you not.
Notice I said “black anchor”. If Pelosi can refer to “white men” then it is okay for me to refer to “black men”.
That word has zero meaning thanks to the Left.
“It’s time to say it”????
They’ve been screaming it nonstop since he first announced he was running!!

Lame thinking.
AMEN

Turd World Country?
May be true, but what they don’t realize is a lot of their own feel the same way....................
New norm - Everyone is an “ist”.
