Trump Seems Proud Of His Racism/Bigotry These Days

Donald Trump doesn't like being called a racist. He says he loves "everyone", and wants to unite the nation. But it's not claims, especially from an incessant liar, that defines someone. It is their actions. And Trump has a history of racist actions.

He was sued by the federal government at least three times because he wouldn't sell or rent to African-Americans.

He has been heard using the "N" word to refer to African-American women while play gold with his buddies.

He openly declared Mexicans to be rapists and criminals while running for the presidential nomination -- and said a judge couldn't be impartial because of his Hispanic heritage.

He appointed a know racist to be Attorney General, and several white supremacists to serve in the White House.

He initially refused to condemn white supremacists and nazis after Charlottesville -- and did so only after he realized the media and the public didn't like him coddling and encouraging them -- then walked it back again.

David Duke and other racists praised Trump for his support of them.

He tried to get a travel ban to keep nonwhite muslims from coming to this country.

He is threatening to shut down the government to get a border wall built to keep brown people from coming to this country.

And if all of that didn't convince you of his bigotry and racism, he has pardoned Joe Arpaio -- one of the biggest racist bigots in the country, and a man who flaunted the law and the Constitution to continue his discrimination.

Donald Trump is a racist bigot -- and it doesn't seem like he's trying very hard to hide that fact anymore. In fact, he seems rather proud of it.

The racists flocked to the Republican Party after the civil rights laws were passed in the 1960's, and Republican politicians have been using subtle signals to appeal to them ever since then. But now it looks like those racists have taken over the party -- and they have chosen one of their own to be their leader, and sadly, our president.
