It's an amazing study in psychology. Trump says racist sh#t while saying he wants to build an idiotic wall.
People point out the racist sh#t our idiot president says, and say he doesn't get a multi-billion dollar wall.
Yet the people who support him, seem to think his words are identical to other politicians who say, in a manner which doesn't in any way denigrate any race, that they want to reduce illegal immigration.
None of what schumer said would be considered racist in today's climate. You either didn't bother listening to his speech, or you don't understand what it is about trump's (and others) words that are racist.
Don't dare tell me I do not know what racism is. My youngest daughter married a black man and we have bi-racial grandchildren. Our grandchildren, my daughter and my wife and I have had to personally deal with racism for years. Racism from white liberals in NJ who would not accept our "black" grandchildren and shunned my daughter for marrying a black man. Racism from my son in law's family who wouldn't accept our "white" grandchildren. Racism from northern black females who hated my daughter for daring to marry one of "theirs". So don't tell me I don't understand racism.
The ironic thing is that since our daughter moved from leftist NJ to rural "racist" NC, racism from neighbors, teachers and the kids they go to school with is non-existence. Strange that "racist" southerners accept and love my daughter and our bi-racial grandchildren. Our grandchildren are now in accelerated advanced classes, have a bunch of white, black and Hispanic friends, and our grandson was even elected class president.
You want to call Trump a racist? You're entitled to your opinion. He has made many moronic statements, and have put his foot in his mouth many times, but from my personal experience with real racism, I don't see him as a racist.
