This links here are what I pulled up in 15 minutes. #TrumpRacism
There’s more, of course. Demanding execution for the Central Park 5, now the Exonerated 5, and standing by it even after proof of their innocence. nytimes.com/2019/06/18/nyr…
If there’s a “definitive list” of your racism, you have not devoted your life to fairness & opportunity for Black ppl. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
It matters that Trump said this bald-faced lie at an historically Black college before an audience from which students were almost entirely excluded.When he said it, he was not met w boos. This HBCU & formerly incarcerated Black people were used as a setting for this lie.
Trump’s absurd statement about his alleged lifelong commitment to fairness &opportunity for African Americans is at 46:56 c-span.org/video/?465717-…
