Do you believe that Donald Trump is racist?

[Beet]

Yeah, I think he is, especially if what he said about blacks in 1991 is true.

[White Trash]

Reminds of the Simpsons joke about Fox News, "Not racist, but #1 with racists".

[Mallow]

I don't think he thinks he's a racist (some would wear that badge proudly, but Trump wouldn't). I do think that he has unconscious racist tendencies, moreso than the average person.

I can agree with that somewhat- he doesn't quite get it. I mean, he thinks his publicized comments about Mexicans should be a reason a judge with Mexican ancestry should recuse himself.

Yeah, or him saying that liking taco salad means he likes Hispanics. Its ignorant and offensive but is not in itself proof that he sits around and thinks "there are people who have darker skin than me and therefore those people are inferior".  I doubt he thinks Don King and Mike Tyson are inherently inferior  when compared to white people. He's just seems ignorant, stupid, and uncaring and doesn't get it because he's lived in a rich people bubble his whole life.

Obviously: the birther nonsense.

[Figueira]

No one thinks they're racist. Even back when I browsed Stormfront out of dark curiosity, they all claimed they weren't racist.

Anyway, Trump was sued in the 1980s for refusing to rent to black people.

[BaldEagle1991]

Not to mention he reads Hitler speeches and defended the now disgraced former LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling on his remarks against blacks that cost him his team.

Also all of the previous stuff about him you guys previously mentioned like refusing to rent to blacks when he started his career pretty much proves he's a racist.

[Intell]

He's not racist, just nationalistic, sometimes overly so. He also has some racialist tendencies.

I feel stuck somewhere between 1 and 2, but voted 2.
