Trump supporters say theyre tired of being called racists. At a recent rally in Cincinnati, the Atlantic reported, white attendees defended themselves against the charge by citing the evidence: They had donated money to help black foster children; they deeply loved their black and mixed-race grandchildren.
Shortly after rejecting the racist label, however, these same rallygoers made racist remarks to the journalist who interviewed them. Regarding Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who came to the United States as a Somali refugee, one woman offered: I dont want her stinkin Muslim crap in my country.
Making racist remarks while claiming not to be racist seems paradoxical. President Trump himself is a case in point. I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world, he told reporters last month, and he often name-checks black celebrity friends to support his contention. At the same time, he continues to take racist jabs at individuals and groups.

Typical libs. Cite one or two quotes. Likely manufactured
But ignore actions.

When called a racist, I just say this: “The first one to bring up race is the racist.”
And then I’m careful not to be the first one to bring it up.

Muzloid is not a “race”
By definition to disparage a muzloid is not racism.
