    By definition racism is “the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.”

    --- “prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
    "a program to combat racism"
    synonyms: racial discrimination, racialism, racial prejudice, xenophobia, chauvinism, bigotry, casteism
    "Aborigines are the main victims of racism in Australia"

    Above is the dictionary’s definition of racism, with synonyms and a written example of its use.

    Donald Trump uses verbal “antagonism directed against someone (Latinos, Muslims, African-Americans, etc.) of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. His political campaign is based in racism, which makes The Donald, The Racist. The same can be said for his many supporters whose reasons for backing Trump for President come from their complete agreement with the hate speech he spouts.

    Trump’s followers deny his racism and their own, and instead project it onto others who oppose the prejudice being spread by The Donald, and is so valued by the right-wingers.

    The denial of truth by “Trumpers” will be in their responses to this OP.

    The progressive movement has always been inherently racist. Trump is clearly not a racist.

    A massive wall of unfounded opinions with no examples backing up why you have said opinions.

    This appears to be nothing more than your blind hatred for someone and you feel like putting your hatred online for others to see.

    I'm interested though in you "The denial of truth" statement. You've given not a single fact that your opinion is based on....what 'truth' is there to deny?

    So you're denying the racist remarks made by Trump?

    Is that because you agree with them?

    They're there and anyone paying attention has seen them

    The right-wingers denial of the truth was expected. They quickly forgot The Donald called all the illegal immigrants from Mexico murderers and rapists even though that is what first drew the conservatives and neoconservatives to him.

    His condemnation of all Muslims as terrorists is recent and the righties deny that as well.

    Yes, Trump is a racist as are his followers. Denial cannot change those facts.

    Some people don't like what they see in a mirror. Yes, a considerable amount of Trump supporters can be categorized as racists.

    If Trump said this you should be able to quote where he did....unless you are just making things up.

    just like all the people who voted for Obama because he was black? can we include them in this category of mirror lookers who are racist?

    It is all a myth so you can include anyone or anything.

    ummm... yeah...

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html

    I mean Samuel L Jackson made a statement to Ebony magazine that he voted for Obama because he's black... and many many others who did the exact same thing...

    can't get much better than a direct interview with a journalist...

    http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/08/magazine/larry-wilmore-has-no-beef-with-bill-oreilly.html?partner=socialflo w&smid=tw-nytimes&_r=1

    Larry Willmore, one of the comedy central replacements for their liberal comedy show hosts... admits to voting for Obama because of his skin color...

    I mean google can come up with thousands of other celebrities and regular folks who said they voted for Obama simply because of his skin color...

    do you need a certain number of examples? or did you make an attempt at sarcasm that went unnoticed?

    That does not fit the myth of the left wingers. Sure it is all made up but they seem to see only white people as racist. Goofy yes, but they only see it as being one sided.

    I'm not aware of every word Trump has ever spoken, what remarks are you referring to. The OP didn't have the guts to post any....maybe you do?

    Deny what?...you posted not a single 'truth' with which to deny.

    No he did not call all the illegal immigrants from mexico murderers and rapists, he made that crystal clear. Care to post the video? Since it's right there for us to see.

    Same with the video where he says all muslims are terrorists, I'm not aware of this quote from him. I'd have to hear it before I comment on it.
