Question for Circuit-Guy: Racism

In an effort to consider that I might be living in my own echo chamber, thought I’d ask if you can point out a few specific instances of President Trump’s racism. Not people saying he’s racist, but actual things that he has said (in context) or done that depict racism. With the volume of racism claims, I am sure there must be many instances.

I can do the same for you regarding Joe Biden, if you think that might be helpful.

    Point out, specific instances of President Trump’s racism

    In the replies so far no instances have been posted.
    One post gave a link to something wikipedia, a notorious wokist site. Giving such a link is not posting instances.

    The opposite is easy to show, in particular the average income and employment rate of specific groups have all improved comparatively in absolute terms in the past four years.

    Thanks for posting a question aimed just at me. Here is what I find after doing searches.
    Trump: The best overall summary I found was the Wikipedia page. It gives a great summary of things that some people see as racist.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_...


    Biden: This talks about how the crime bill he supported in '94 was was racist and how he said if you don't know whether to vote for Trump or Biden then you are not black.

    Repeat the lie enough times and it is perceived as truth.

    FFA, your post ignited the image of that old Soviet mouthpiece, Vladimir Posner, spewing the Party line on Ted Koppel's "Nightline" many years ago, LOL. I think he was the original Baghdad Bob.

    Edit add: I think ol' Vlad still shows up now and then especially when wearing blackface and a dress and goes by the name of Donna Brazille.

    I guess I am hoping for better from someone...

    That's been my experience as well. But CG presents himself as sure and articulate and well-read, so I am sure he can provide some kind of reasonable evidence. Would love to see it.

    I've asked similar questions to a few folks in my family and none of them has been able to offer a single example of "Trump Is A Racist" that holds up to any kind of scrutiny. The "Trump Is A Racist" mantra is so embedded into their psyches and thought processes that total lack of any supporting facts has no effect on what they believe. Any facts presented that refute "Trump Is A Racist" are summarily dismissed and thrown down their personal memory holes to be eradicated. They just "know" Trump is a racist and that's all there is to it. They seem to "know" other unsubstantiated negative things about Trump as well and the same response is received when questioned about them.
