    Throughout his career Trump has exhibited racist tendencies in both words and deeds. Examples of this are available in DOJ investigations of his housing practices but also very much his own words.

    It's why people voted for him. He'll keep doing it.

    The most damning business activity was the discriminatory renting practices he instituted in his NYC properties. The DOJ was able to prove, using black and white potential renters, that his properties were not available to minority renters.

    Then there's his mouth. He's stopped even trying to backtrack on racist comments from the past because it energizes his base.

    Trump continues to target MS13 when he tries to justify his wall. MS13 is much smaller than outlawed motorcycle gang membership, which is primarily white. He also continues to repeatedly post false statistics about immigrant's propensity to commit crimes.

    A good example of the racist nonsense Trump retweets is the table below which was created by a white supremacist organization.

    The "Crime Statistics Bureau - San Francisco" doesn't even exist. The numbers are wildly inaccurate.

    Here are the correct numbers from the FBI:

    Blacks killed by whites: 8%
    Blacks killed by blacks: 90%
    Whites killed by whites: 82%
    Whites killed by blacks: 15%

    So the biggest killers of whites are other whites.

    But Trump and his supporters don't care about accuracy. They continue to harp about the dangerous immigrants coming over the border even though they commit less crime than American born citizens and there are far fewer gang members than American born gangs.

    All hooey and derogatory speculation. Especially bad is the rental stuff. Almost every large urban renter was attacked by the government under the Community Reinvestment Act to help the Democrat goal of more minority ownership which eventually led to the financial crises of 2008.

    Really long stretch there, delusional even. The Community Reinvestment Act was passed in 1977 yet Trump was sued by the DOJ for discrimination in 1973.

    It's shocking how little Trump supporters know.

    The suits were the lead-in and progenitor of the CRA.

    1. Donald Trump wasn't in charge of the company in 1973.
    2. Hearsay taken as fact by leftists who really want racism to be real.
    3. Saying Obama might have been born in Kenya isn't racism.
    4. He said a lot of illegal immigrants are criminals. They are.
    5. It's not Trump's fault that the countries he was talking about are predominately non-white and extremely bad places.

    Trump was President of the company at the time.

    So much garbage so little time. Not only was the Trump corporation sued, so was at one time or the other virtually every other property management corporation and real estate firm in America in the mid seventies. Redlining was very wide spread, It is unlikely that Trump was making policy for his dad's company when he was in his mid twenties. DJ Trump almost certainly didn't implement practices that had been in vogue for longer than he'd been alive.

    You'd have a better case, maybe, if you quit confounding illegal aliens and immigrants. There is plenty of data suggest that illegal aliens are far more likely to be engaged in criminal activity that legal immigrants.

    More complete stats. The homicide rates for blacks is terrible. While the homicide rate for Hispanics is better, it is still far worse than that for Whites. Instead of denying the data gathered by the FBI, wouldn't it more productive to implement programs to lower the violent crime rates in the demographics struggling with it?
