Trump bats away accusations of racism: 'I'm the least racist person you'll ever interview'

Email Address SUBMIT President Trump defended himself from claims that he is a racist after reportedly saying Haiti and some African nations are “shithole countries” last week.

“No. I’m not a racist. I’m the least racist person you will ever interview,” Trump said Sunday before eating dinner with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy at Mar-a-Lago, his club in Florida.

The subject of Trump’s views on race — specifically whether he is racist against black and brown people — have been called into question this week after his reported comments during an Oval Office meeting on immigration.

Trump also reportedly repeatedly questioned an intelligence officer of Korean descent about where she was from, not accepting New York or Manhattan for an answer, until she said her parents were from South Korea. He then reportedly asked another staffer why the “pretty Korean lady” wasn’t working on North Korea.

Those statements come months after Trump said there were good people on both sides of the violence in Charlottesville, Va., over the summer, one of which included the KKK and neo-Nazis.

Trump was dining with McCarthy to talk about a busy week in Congress, which must reach a spending deal by Jan. 19 or the government will run out of money and shut down.

Have a good evening!

I just read this whole thread, and have to agree. So many things wrong, that we are a country to basically accept the downtrodden, regardless of merit or hostile intent, and if we don't welcome them with open arms, we are awful people for not wanting to be the World's Dumpster. Wow. To me, it sounds like a very young person with very little life experience. To wit: saying that he/she would take a random, unknown dock worker in El Salvador over President Trump. Talk about undeveloped maturity and values!

What a thread.

P.S. That whole POEM on the Statue of Liberty is just that, a poem, not a law. But I bet many people, including that poster, think it's a law or part of the Constitution.

And the big difference between now and when our ancestors came here is welfare. There were no handouts. You had to be really motivated to come here and endure some tough times and work hard.

Now people come here expecting an easy life.

Her Heinous is the true racist. Whether she uses that disingenuous “Ebonics” inflection when talking to Black people. Or speaking a little Spanish as her cynical way of ingratiating herself with Latinos. When she campaigned for US Senate from NY, while speaking to a group of Orthodox Jews in Monsey she condescendingly pulled the old “you know I recently found out I have Jewish ancestry in my family” routine (FauxcaYENTA?) When you’re Hillary Clinton you shamelessly pander. It’s what you do!

I'll change only one word here: DEMANDING not just expecting. On OUR dime no less. Sickening.

I've said for a while, this whole "immigration" thing should be filed in a court of law as an unfair, un-Constitutional taxation. Why should American taxpayers be forced to fund a foreign invasion?

Don't be so fatalistic. I'm white, and I haven't given up. I grew up in Hawaii, as a minority, more physical fights than I could count if someone handed me a big check to have the exact number. I also have black friends here on the Mainland who would be right by our sides if the sh*t hit the fan. We are AMERICANS. As for the destructive liberals, they will never be of help, but that is why we can't let this country descend into the sewer or we WILL be outnumbered (meaning anti-Americans versus Americans).

You post is a great example of why. It isn't 'anti-American' per se it is anti-white. You may have 'black friends' but 95%+ of them vote as a block. They are politically united. You can't defeat it if you cant name it.

WELL.

The black friends I know are almost all Veterans and/or retired Police Officers. They are Americans through and through. Those are the ones of whom I spoke, not recent arrivals from sh^thole countries. They can’t stand the anti-white stuff going on; they are pissed.

The white anti-white crusaders, those are our biggest enemies, in my opinion.

“...all men are created equal.”

One has to place that statement of principle in the historical context of the Declaration. At the time, and for almost all of history before, the prevailing political philosophy was that humans were part of a hierarchy, the Great Chain of Being, and that humanity itself was hierarchical. Some men were “Better” than others, by birth. There were sovereigns (kings, emperors, princes ‘by the Grace of God’), nobles, commoners, serfs and slaves. Their status was natural, Divinely ordained, and permanent: “Villeins you are, and villeins you shall remain.”

The Declaration of Independence refuted that philosophy of the Rule by Divine Right in one revolutionary sentence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” Jefferson and the Continental Congress did not mean that all men were equal per se, but that some men were not born to rule while the rest were born to serve.

I’m sorry, your race card has been declined due to overuse and deposits of counterfeit claims into your account.
