Trump says what a lot of people think

Just to get this straight. This is the guy who sponsored the birther movement. Who asked a crowd to boo a judge based on his Mexican name. Who said Mexicans are sending crime, drugs and rapists and maybe some good people. Who uses the words "invasion" for immigrants and tweeted about "breeding" in sanctuary cities. Who repeatedly retweets known right-wing extremists like those from #White genocide (75 retweets), including a fake video of immigrants beating up a crippled kid. Who said there were good people marching alongside Nazis and supremacists. Who called african countries shitholes, suggested all Haitians have AIDS and asked for more Norwegian immigrants instead. Who told four congresswomen of color to go back where they came from. Who seriously suggested to deal with muslims how some general allegedly handled them - by dipping bullets in pig blood before shooting them. Who alleged thousands of thousands of muslims were celebrating the 9/11 attacks in New Jersey. Who falsely accuses five black teenagers of murder even after being cleared. Who gets endorsed by David Duke and doesn't seem to mind. Who claims 81% of murders of white people are committed by blacks and that there are places in the inner cities where you get shot when walking down the streets. Who pardoned Joe Arpaio. Who demanded the conspiracy of mass murder of white farmers in South Africa is investigated. Who has a history of refusing black tenants, telling his black employees in his casino to go to the back and who once said "laziness is a trait in blacks, it's not anything they can control".

And yet you wonder how Trump is seen as racist?


Who also called women fat pigs, slobs, dogs or animals or bleeding out of their whatever or bleeding badly from a face-lift. [Spare me a similarly long list of examples]. And yet...?

But as soon as someone suggests these things might be racist, xenophobic or misogynistic, you simply allege that this is what hits every republican candidate. As if these things were thrown at everyone from Rubio to Carson as well. Isn't that a bit too easy?
