Trump's 'least racist' claim falls flat for many. Yet his campaign still holds appeal for some Black men.

I took the “least racist person in the room” to be a backhanded slap to the moderator, who seemed to me at times to have a chip on her shoulder about race by presumptions inherent in some of her leading questions.

Wasn’t Biden the one who said that Obama was “clean and articulate “? Imagine the field day the media would’ve had if a Republican had said that-“dog whistle “ doesn’t even come close!

“I’m the least racist person on this stage” would’ve been turned Trump’s defense to offense. Pointing out his record v ‘you ain’t black if you ain’t on crack’ Biden’s on the issue (as he did) for the win.

>> Notice, CNN and their ilk like to call Trump a racist and conveniently

CNN is owned and controlled by ATT. This is ATT’s position.

What a bunch of lies.

A history of denigrating blacks?

He should be given an award for empowering blacks and breaking social barriers when he was the first to provide golf course memberships to black Americans!

He has a long history of friendships with black entrepreneurs, entertainers and sports people. Heck! Trump had a black girlfriend for about two years!

How can CNN lifelike that?

The @#%$# leftist news media repeated their Big Lie “Trump is, of course a white racist” hundreds of times of month since he was elected.

Never was true. He had dozens of pictures of black men and women with their arm over his shoulder, or shaking hands, or smiling side by side with Trump. Business owners at his developed sites, black people in his companies working with him, politicians, ministers, film and TV stars and sports figures, especially boxers. Rev. Jackson once said he considers Trump his “friend.” There was a slide gallery on the internet last year “The Trump You Never Knew: Early years Before He Was President.” Many of the people were black.

Dem. President Lyndon B. Johnson “routinely used the n word” nearly daily according to at least three biographers. The day of the July, 1967 black Detroit Riots he held his hands to his head in the Oval Office and said aloud “ The n-———s, the n————s, why did they do this to me?”

RE: The President said yes — before he quickly moved on and claimed to be “the least racist person in the room,” a response that was at odds with his track record and that failed to reflect that he truly understands anything about the Black experience.

OK, can anyone explain to me WHERE in his track record, either as an ordinary citizen or as President he was RACIST?

I’m serious. Tell me exactly what he did or said that was racist. Let’s analyze those statements or acts to find out if they meet the definition of racism.

“CNN is owned and controlled by ATT. This is ATT’s position.”

You are dangerously approaching the elephant in the room that no one dares to describe.

I love that bullshit about all black parents giving their kids “THE TALK” about the POLICE.

My MOM and DAD would have beat my ass if I ever did or talked crap to a Police Officer.

The one time my brother and I got taken home by the police and delivered to my MOM, I heard the cops talking while they walked away, one officer said to the other “I think those kids would have rather stayed with us and gone to jail”.

That was after my Mother described in front of them what we were in for when the door closed (she was a single divorced mother at the time).

The Police Officer was absolutely right, me and my brother would have rather done time than take the punishment we were in for.

My Mother would have been best described by todays language as a SEVER DISCIPLINARIAN!

I’m 70 now and when I talk to a cop it’s still “YES SIR or OFFICER or NO SIR or OFFICER”.

And I ain’t BLACK, BROWN, YELLOW, or RED!!!!

(if I missed any colors, I apologize).
