Why do liberals claim that Donald Trump is racist? Is it because they don't want to talk about the real issues?

With the comments he makes about minorities, how can he not be racist. A racist isn't just someone who bleeps the N word. A racist is someone who spreads fear against other races to create hatred by speaking against certain races. To me, he's a true classic racist because he doesn't say anything specifically racist but he sure does show it (look up Trump rally's). His followers are racist. Followers usually follow the leader and Trump is their leader. Actions speak louder than words.

The way the word "racist" gets thrown around so frequently (and very often without just cause) being called a "racist" may help Trump more than hurt him. But Democrats do talk about real issues. It's more a matter of priorities. Are social and environmental issues more important than economic issues? You decide.

There isn't any evidence at all that Donald Trump is either racist or sexist. - He stated yesterday that Islam is a religion of Hate... I am not sure how you can be more racist that condemning a Billion people as villains...

All they really have now are desperation manoeuvres. If they wanted to talk to Middle America on Middle America's terms, then perhaps they could make some progress, but they seem incapable of that. Thus, they, and the GOP elite as well, have ceded the field to Trump.

The real issue is that Drumpf is a small minded idiotic child who does hate everyone and everything, aside from other rich people.

Have you ever once listened to what the man says? He's a hateful little thing.

I think what we're relying on is a history of racist pronouncements of various kinds, the most obvious ones having to do with immigrants to the US from Mexico all being "rapists" and the idea that we can ban people from entering the US based on their religious background, in complete disregard of the United States Constitution.

Donald Trump can't be a racist. He said last week:

"I disavowed the Klu(sic)Klux Klan, I disavowed David Duke,

I've been doing it now for 2 weeks!"

that means he hasn't been a racist for over 3 weeks now.

His father was a racist

Donald lumps people together and insults them

He acts or seems very hateful

and he avoids the real issues

rarely ever is specific or gives details

Maybe 'racism' isn't exactly the right word. Trump is -intolerant-. He supports many kinds of intolerance. Against immigrants, against the poor, against gays and Muslims, etc. Racism is just one category of intolerance, maybe the biggest category. He uses demonization and blaming and scapegoating to keep from having to talk more honestly about our problems and how to solve them.

The issues of your Donald's anatomy do not interest us.
