Mmm really don't think so. Everything in that post pointed to Trump not being racist for example why are the media asking him to disavow David Duke when he said it 16 years ago? In other words the mainstream media are dishonest. Where do you get most of you're information from? It seems to me that it's the mainstream media therefore you're argument about Trump being racist is looking weak. Now it seems to me you ignored that and didn't want to think it through because you'd have to admit you could be wrong.
The point about his son-in-law isn't in isolation it's after me making a post with Trumps long history of helping blacks AND he's got a jewish son-in-law. I noticed you ignored the video clip and went straight to making some point about his son-in-law.
I really don't know what to say at this point. It seems to me you ignore the points you like and have tried to make some strange gotcha moment. I might get the point you're trying to make but usually how debates work is that people make points and they are countered. Not sure what this is.

Why would he change his opinion after 16 years when he has a history of helping black people AND has a jewish son-in-law? How does that suddenly translate into he's suddenly become very racist and the mainstream media isn't lying?
Is that supposed to be a point? He had actually stopped running for President and one of the main reasons was because David Duke joined the party.

Because people can change, life happens and opinions/views change, especially over 10+ years. Now if you want to say the interviewer should have said "16 years ago you didn't support David Duke, do you now?", sure, that's a better argument than blowing a rape whistle because Trump was asked a question he previously had answered 16 years ago. It's like someone asking you if you like cheesecake and losing your shit "I already said I didn't back in 2002!"
But I also recall Trump at one point during the election claiming he had no idea who David Duke was. Now I don't know if he was lying to try and distance himself from the KKK endorsing him for President as that's not endorsement one publicly wants or if he had an old-man-moment and simply forgot.
To white knight myself a bit Deadline, I never said that I had been led to any conclusions by the media/press, my opinion of Trump being a racist is based pretty much solely from life experience and judgement rather than any articles about him specifically which I tried to state from the get-go. Which is partly why I asked yourself and Surtur for your opinions on him being racist or not.

No this is complete nonsense. Racism is not a cheesecake it's going to take a lot to change their opinion on something that important. Now as I have already stated why would he change his opnion after 16 years after all he's done?
When you say you don't know somebody it doesn't neccesarily mean you don't know who that person is but it can mean you've never spoken to that person, you don't associate with that person and in some cases you say don't know somebody if you strongly dislike that person. Interestingly with Trump it seems to be all of the above. I think I remember when they first asked him and he said it liked he was irritated and it was an off the cuff remark. When they finally got him down to speak to him longer about it he said something along the lines of "Yea I don't know him, I've never spoken to him, I don't hang out with him I don't like him." Now i don't know if he's never spoken to him but if you've barely spoken to somebody the logic still applies.
Now I suspect you're going to tell me that I'm making excuses for him but what you don't seem to understand is that there are reasons for this. As I stated before some of the things said could be interpreted to be racist some of them are a matter of opinion and also we have the problem that some of these statements can't be verified. What I have been trying to do is find things that we know he's said and done when you list these things out you can see he's not racist. You seemed to have missed them so I'm going over it again.
1. Hosted a popular TV program with all races and backgrounds on it.
2. Has got awards for helping blacks and has a history of helping blacks
3. Specifically stated that he hated an important member of the KKK
4. Has a jewish son-in-law. Now you clearly think that Trump is stupid and racist and changed his mind about David Duke. Now I know that David Duke hates jews because I've seen him in an interview. Since you think that Trump is racist and stupid it shouldn't be hard to find him saying that he hates his son-in-law. I'm waiting for a statment.
5. Black unepmloyment is actually down unlike Bill Clinton who actually specifically targeted blacks to be persecuted.
The thing I have listed above our facts and when you take them all together Trump can't be racist.
Which means nobody should take what you say seriously because we don't even know who you are. So you've met a lot of white multi-millionaires and billionaires have you? Even if you have they're not all racist and based on what's Trump's done he isn't.

Yes, nobody is perfect, and makes mistakes occasionally. For Trump, we have a relatively consistent and well documented pattern for someone who until 2 years ago was a private citizen.

....Bro, if you’re consistently making comments like that, I’m sorry to break it to you, it’s not a matter of perspective, LOL, you’re just sexist and racist.
You sound like Senator Hyde. Oops, I was just joking about public hangings. Unless you’re a stand up comedian, you can learn a lot about people by the type of jokes they make, or how they are when intoxicated.

And that's all fair. I agree: we've all said racist or sexist shit over the years. But most of us didn't do it out of anger or seriousness.
Even further, still, none of us were not in the public eye as a celebrity running multiple multinational companies. And none of us have been elected to federal offices.
Also, I'd say you're less racist than most on this board. Anyone that would call you racist in seriousness is definitely an SJW moron.
But about Trump? Yeah, I think he's racist. He's racist in the same way most rednecks are. Says the same exact things.
It would be better to rate this kind of racism. It's he last bastion of harmful racism left. Any other types of racism are not harmful other than a few tuts and tsks.
Scale:
From 0 to 10.
Scale Context:
0: Young toddlers and younger who do not know the concept of race and ethnicity. 5: Typical Redneck racist you will find in Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma. Almost never violent (violent only when it comes to special circumstances like shoot a black intruder but would warn a white one). 10: Ultra racists who systematically target, with homicide, people of races they do not like. People who killed Tillman are examples. Hitler is one of these.
Trump is a 4 or 5.
I'm a 1 or 2.
You're definitely a 1.
Rate your racism, dudes, using my scale, then rate Trump.
I'm a 1, my partner is African, Arabic and French and she is light skinned black and I like her very much. Trump is a 5 -7 for me, because he has propagated hate and created a climate hate thrives in.
This is a nice variation on the "I totally have black friends" argument. Props

Yeah, because having friends is that intimate as holding someone when they are upset, and looking after them when they are Ill or having sex with them because you think they are beautiful.
"I totally held black chick when she was upset, honest"-You

I think there's a pic of me on the picture thread also holding one when they are happy and I'm a little horny. But you know racists often share their beds with people of different races in mutually respectful relationships...

If this were the early 1800's I imagine you'd be a benevolent slave owner.
