Donald Trump has a long history of racial animus. Yes, he is a racist. The racist five year lie of birtherism he told before he was even a running for office, to delegitimize the first Black president, and the sitting president at the time of these racist and conspiratorial attacks. Trump's racial animus in the case of the Central Park Five, before and after they were exonerated, is well documented. Trump's racial animal in federal housing discrimination cases, is also well documented. And his dog whistles over the past six years, well documented. Yes he's a racist. I also won't give a pass to the deeply ignorant. They are demanding a right to be treated like foolish children, somehow innocent of the decision they're making to remain ignorant of the fact Donald Trump is a racist. I mean come on, of all the difficult things to do on planet Earth, admitting Trump is a bigot is difficult? Grow up. American society continues to give racists a pass. This includes Nixon's Southern Strategy as told by Lee Atwater in his 1981 interview. It's called plausible deniability. The idea some people are so ignorant they cannot be aware Trump is a racial bigot, and thus they can support a racial bigot while simultaneously denying they are one themselves. It's not believable. And I won't believe it. It's not my burden to take people's word at face value. Grow up. Stop being an infant, stop demanding that people treat you like you don't know better or can't know better. I am 100% confident there is a Republican out there you can support instead, who has all the boilerplate Republican policies you like, without the bigotry.
