Just more stuff he doesn't know..............

He's been consistently clear about his view of white supremacist violence. If you expect him to spontaneously denounce it, you’ll be waiting a while. If, however, you insist that he does so, he will do so either to check the demanded box or as a way to talk about the things he considers a real threat to the country.

“Proud Boys, stand back and stand by,” Trump said. Then he quickly moved on: “But I’ll tell you what — I’ll tell you what, somebody’s got to do something about antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing problem.”

There's more

“I am concerned about the rise of any group of hate,” he said. “I don’t like it, any group of hate, whether it’s white supremacy, whether it’s any other kind of supremacy, whether it’s antifa, whether it’s any group of hate, I am very concerned about it, and I’ll do something about it.”

That equivalence between left and right appears over and over. Even when Trump decided to denounce racism on Twitter on the anniversary of the violence in Charlottesville, he denounced “all types of racism” — tacitly equating anti-Black racism with perceived racism targeting Whites.

“I don't know about retweeting. I mean, you retweet somebody, and turns out to be a white supremacist,” he said. “I know nothing about these groups that are supporting me."

“Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke, okay? I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So, I don’t know. I don’t know, did he endorse me or what’s going on, because, you know, I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists.”

After a man killed 49 Muslims at a mosque in New Zealand in early 2019, Trump was asked whether white nationalism posed a threat globally.

“I don’t, really,” he replied. “I think it’s a small group of people that have very, very serious problems.”

They are claiming he didn't say it.

"faith without works is dead"

Youre saying Trump hasn't done anything to help blacks?

Lowest black unemployment ever. EVER.
increasing funding to black colleges
creating economic opportunity zones in urban areas
advocating for school choice
championing criminal justice reform

That's not a good list of things that disproportionately help blacks?

in the name of racial tolerance, defaced monuments to Abraham Lincoln. I guess he never did anything to help blacks?

Your side cannot be reasoned with. Look at what's happening in Philadelphia = riots and anarchy. WHY? Because a guy with a knife kept coming at cops who were backing away from him, and asked him repeatedly to drop the knife. How the f*ck is HE the victim?

That's the divide right now. If you think those cops are racist murderers, youre a democrat. If you think the cops obviously did nothing wrong, youre a republican.

No matter what Trump says or does, you'll all say hes a racist. Because all you care about is wining, and the last thing you want to have is an accurate conversation about what he's accomplished for blacks. So as always, you accuse someone you don't like, or racism, despite all the evidence to the contrary. DO you EDVER get tired of playing that disgusting race card?
