Major media outlets this week encouraged people to speculate on whether President Trump is a racist and even commissioned artists to convey the idea that he is, but still fell short of generating a consensus that Trump is prejudiced against non-whites.

The effort is nearly a week old now. It began Saturday when Trump was criticized for not immediately singling out neo-Nazis and white supremacists for their role in the violence in Charlottesville, Va.

When Trump finally did identify the groups on Monday, the press said he was too slow. Then a day later, Trump again condemned white supremacists, but also said at a press conference that both the white supremacist protesters and counter-protesters were violent, and that there is blame on "both sides."

By Thursday, major magazines were declaring Trump a racist. Or at least, they were suggesting it with the art on their new covers.

The Economist started it off with a story titled "Donald Trump has no grasp of what it means to be president." It was accompanied by a depiction of Trump shouting into a bullhorn in the shape of a Ku Klux Klan hood.

...

A New York Times story published Thursday interviewed several of Trump's black friends to ask if they thought Trump was a racist. But most rejected the idea, including people who worked for him and a biracial woman he dated.

"That was not my experience," Kara Young, Trump's former girlfriend, said when asked if Trump is "personally racist."

Only Al Sharpton got close in that story, and Sharpton this week made a point of not declaring Trump to be a racist.

On MSNBC Monday, branding expert Donny Deutsch said Trump "is a racist." He then pressed Sharpton to agree, accused Sharpton of "dancing around it," and asked if Sharpton could "say he is a racist."

"I don't want to put him on a couch and deal with his psychological personal problems," Sharpton said. "I'm dealing with his public policies."

A frustrated Deutsch then goaded Sharpton on by saying, "you can't say that the president is a racist."

Sharpton replied again, "We're talking about the president and his policies."

That exchange seemed to partly explain the media's own decision to dance around the idea of Trump being a racist, and implying it with pictures instead of declaring it with words.

 

Downright amazing if Sharpton won't call him a racist. He'd be the first one to do so.

 

Auschwitz is still there, as a museum.

New York Times interviews Trump's black friends to ask if Trump is 'personally racist'

The story, published Thursday in light of Trump's comments about the violence in Charlottesville, Va., said, "more than ever, the question is being asked: Is Mr. Trump personally racist?"

Among those interviewed was Kara Young, a biracial former girlfriend of Trump's, who said, "That was not my experience" in their relationship. She also said that she "never heard him say a disparaging comment towards any race of people."

Also interviewed in the story was Katrina Pierson, a spokeswoman for Trump's campaign and for Ben Carson, secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the administration. Both Pierson and Carson are black and both disputed the idea of Trump being racist.

Lynne Patton, a black woman in the administration leads the Department of Housing and Urban Development agency's New York and New Jersey office, offered that Trump "doesn't see color the way the average person does."

Trump drew wide criticism this week after he maintained that "both sides" of protesters at a white supremacy rally in Charlottesville bear responsibility for violence that broke out and resulted in the death of one woman.

Among all those interviewed for the Times story, only Sharpton, who was an outspoken supporter of President Barack Obama and has a history of anti-Semitic activism, would suggest that Trump is racist.

"He has made a deliberate choice to not be inclusive and to be racially exclusive," Sharpton told the paper. "He has nobody black, at all, in his inner circle."

The article is similar to one published by the Times in late 2015, a few months into Trump's campaign. That story said his campaign rhetoric had "divide[d] black celebrities he calls friends."

But only two subjects interviewed for that story, entrepreneur Russell Simmons and, again, Sharpton, accused Trump of racial bigotry.

Rev. Jesse Jackson said in the story that Trump has said some "painful and hurtful" things throughout the campaign. But, the story said, "When asked if Mr. Trump was a racist, Mr. Jackson responded, 'I don't want to use that language.'"

 

Not exactly the same

 

The most egregious crimes against humanity occurred there. They didn't move it to some museum or raze it.

It's there for everyone to visit and learn how evil Nazis are and why we don't want to let them ascend to power again.

Just as the statues might be.

In Richmond, the African-American mayor is against removing the statues. Instead, he wants to put up signs with information to explain who these people are and what they stood for.

The concentration camps are still there as a REMINDER of what not to let happen. One get used as an educational tool to show the younger generations what happened and now we will not let it happen again. Have you been to one? They're life changing experiences.


The statues glorify these men as symbols of pride and southern culture, which is pretty much how lots of people in the south view them.

Again, they're not the same.

It's like how there are still plantations out there, the buildings etc, being used as an educational force to tell people of what happened. Statues aren't used like that.

 

The statues mean what they mean. Even if they were erected as part of Jim Crow, they should stand forever to show what evil people did during the height of Jim Crow.

 

That totally explains why we now have dipshits who don't know that nazism is evil. Thanks, that makes complete sense.

 

Robert E. Lee discouraged monuments. They ‘keep open the sores of war,’ he wrote.

In the 30s, there were millions of them.

Today there are thousands of them.

Hopefully in the near future there will be zero.

It seems to have had the desired effect.

 

We'll see about that after they launch their new ad campaign.

"Join the KKK! The president says some of us are good people!"

 

Thats why there are tons of Hitler statues all across Germany.
