There was that one other time Trump was racist (not current! only includes up to 2017):
1973: The Nixon Administration sued Trump for refusing to rent to black people
1980s: Trump’s casinos were accused of hiding black staff when Trump visited
1989: Trump took out a full page ad arguing for the death penalty for a group of black men (The ‘Central Park Five’), effectively putting a bounty on their heads and plaguing them with a lifetime of death threats. He was sued by the Justice Department for discrimination.
1991: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kinds of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day...I think that the [black] guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is.
1992: Trump’s casino was fined $200,000 for transferring black dealers off certain tables to appease racist patrons.
1993: Trump said Native American casinos shouldn’t be allowed because, “They don’t look like Indians to me.”
2000: Trump ran a series of attack ads against Native American casinos, alleging (with no proof) that they were guilty of crimes.
2004: Trump fired a black contestant from ‘The Apprentice” for being over-educated.
2010: Trump argued in favor of segregating Muslims in Lower Manhattan.
2011: Birtherism. Trump alleged that Obama was Kenyan based on nothing but skin color. He’s neither apologized, nor renounced that claim.
2015 (1): Trump called Mexican immigrants “rapists” who are “bringing crime and drugs” to the US.
2015 (2): Trump called for “a ban on all Muslims entering the US.”
2016(1): Trump called for a Mexican judge to recuse himself based on nothing other than his race. Paul Ryan said, “This was the textbook definition of a racist comment.”
2016 (2): Trump regularly retweeted material from white supremacists and neo-Nazis during his campaign.
2016(3): Trump tweeted a picture alleging Hillary was Jewish or controlled by Jewish people.
2016(4): The Trump campaign adopted Nixon’s “Law and Order” rhetoric which was based in racial fear mongering.
2016(5): Trump told black voters, “What do you have to lose?”
2017(1): Trump asked a black reporter to set up a meeting with the black caucus simply because she was black.
2017(2): “...some very fine people on both sides”, said Trump of a violent Nazi rally.
I find it difficult to believe the last racist thing Trump did was 7 years ago.
