While you don't want to go back "45 years" you say no one said he was racist then.
A reprint from 1973:

He caved and did everything he was told to do that he wasn't doing....but he didn't have to "admit" guilt.![]()
Here's from from 1993:

By the way: That last article is so full of the "best words" that Trump still uses. Trying to talk off the cuff and throwing out a word-salad of thing he hopes to get something to stick. "Believe me"
Anyway you can't have it both ways: You can't say "no one called Trump a racist until 2016" and also say "you have to go back 30-45 years to find times people called him racist".
Look, I can just tell you that your idea of strong evidence differs from mine, so I see no need to continue.

We don't need to go far back at all, I just went to early examples to show just how long people have been calling him a racist.
Look, you want to believe he isn't racist, that's fine. There is a ton of evidence out there that point to it. Some has been brought up showing that you were incorrect to say it didn't happen prior to 2016. I'm moving on.
