No, you are not.
Trump’s real-estate company tried to avoid renting apartments to African-Americans in the 1970s and gave
preferential treatment to whites, according to the federal government.
Trump treated black employees at his casinos differently from whites, according to multiple sources. A former hotel executive said Trump criticized a black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks.”
In 1989, Trump took out ads in New York newspapers urging the death penalty for five black and Latino teenagers accused of raping a white woman in Central Park; he
argued they were guilty as late as October 2016, more than 10 years after DNA evidence had exonerated them.
He began his 2016 presidential campaign with a speech
disparaging Mexican immigrants as criminals and “rapists.”
In December 2015, Trump
called for a “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” including refusing to readmit Muslim-American citizens who were outside of the country at the time.
Trump said a federal judge hearing a case about Trump University was biased
because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.
In June 2017, Trump said 15,000 recent immigrants from Haiti “all have AIDS” and that 40,000 Nigerians, once seeing the United States, would never “
go back to their huts” in Africa.
At the White House on Jan. 11, Trump
vulgarly called forless immigration from Haiti and Africa and more from Norway.
He spent years suggesting that the nation’s first black president was born not in the United States but in Kenya, a lie that Trump still has not acknowledged as such.
He frequently offers
false crime statistics to exaggerate urban crime
He is quick to highlight crimes committed by dark-skinned people, sometimes
exaggerating or lying about them (
such as a claim about growing crime from “radical Islamic terror” in Britain). He is very slow to decry hate crimes committed by whites against dark-skinned people (
such as the killing of an Indian man in Kansas last year).
He
frequently criticizes prominent African-Americans for being unpatriotic, ungrateful and disrespectful.
He has retweeted white nationalists
without apology.
He called some of those who marched alongside white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va., last August “very fine people.”
After David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, endorsed him, Trump was
reluctant to disavow Duke even when asked directly on television.
Trump endorsed and campaigned for Roy Moore, the Alabama Senate candidate who
spoke positively about slavery and who
called for an African-American Muslim member of Congress not to be seated because of his religion.
Trump pardoned – and fulsomely praises – Joe Arpaio, the Arizona sheriff sanctioned for racially profiling Latinos and for keeping immigrants in brutal prison conditions.
