Donald Trump's Racial Discrimination

Decent Essays
Donald J. Trump claims “I am the least racist person that you have ever met”. Not many, more like a huge percentage, of us would believe what Donald Trump is telling the media because we have seen and felt his presence throughout himself.
We would expect him to tell us the truth about himself because he doesn't really care of the people criticizing him and the hatred coming from them towards him.
What concerns me, however, is that he told this on the radio where many people can hear him and somewhat go to the media. When it comes to Latinos, Asians, African Americans, Muslims he can't deny his racial discrimination towards them, but when we talk about the White people he defends them just because that's his color of skin. Especially, the way

While they support him they will also experience the treatment he is being treated.
For many of us, we can argue about this incorrect quote because we are against it. We are the people Donald Trump talks about in a bad tone, where we are offended by this. Why? Because we all know that in a way Donald Trump is a bigot and a racist!
The following headline: “Donald Trump is Not a Racist. Don't Go Back to 2005, Republicans” wrote a man called Erick Erickson where he believes that Donald Trump is not a racist person.
Just by reading this headline from RedState (August 27, 2015), we assume that this reporter is a supporter of Trump and that he has never experienced this racial discrimination when it comes around Whites. His is why he, most likely, supports Donald Trump and it is surprising because a certain of people will be his supporters.
Even though the article gives us opinions and facts of Donald Trump doing amazing things to the United States (where most of us thinks he's not), it doesn't change the way we see Trump now in his present days. We have seen many media sites or have read about him and we know for a fact, that he criticizes other culturals except his

    In the article I, Racist by John Metta, there are two views regarding racism in the US. The first one is the common White people’s view that they do not admit that they are racist. This view exists because of the fact that racism is getting subtler yet still impactful. The reason for this is because White people now do not have to deal with racism; they are the one in the advantaged position. From the condition that they are in, they interpret that racism does not exist anymore, and responded by not talking and admitting about the truth that they are racist.…

    Although this is considered the old form of racism, it is likely closer to how the people in these predominately white suburbia’s think than to the new form of racism. The new racism in America’s society is characterized by using culture to explain differences between races (Conely, 2017). The people in these suburban towns are not really threatened by the cultures of other races (at least not this example), rather, they are threatened by the idea of giving minorities too much power. Likewise, Trump’s racism is definitely not subtle or more gentle, it is very overt and blatant, which are characteristics of old racism. This is important because these overt actions of racism are much more likely to create a divide between whites and nonwhites and will likely result in a bigger push back from nonwhites against Trump and his…

    An author by the name of Mathew Kelly depicted his view point of what courage was. He stated, "Courage is not the absence of fear but the acquired ability to move beyond fear. " Some would view this as the standard of what it means to be courageous, others would never be able to have the ability. One of those individuals who do not possess the ability to be courageous would be a unnamed man who narrated The Autobiography Of An Ex-Colored Man. A man who faced the challenges of blurred racial lines, and could not make a distinct decision of his true character.…

    White Supremacy, democrats, and the degradation of women are the main focuses of all columnist Charles Blow’s articles. As a biased author, Blow supports only one side of his argument; that President Donald Trump is a white supremacist and is doing more harm to our country than good. Although his main audience and focus is on anti-Trump supporters and democrats, his argument is also an attempt to sway Trump supporters over to the anti side. His evidence is weak because it is not factual, yet rather opinion based (i.e. surveys, polls, tweets, etc.). His arguments don’t open any new doors on the subject/topic, rather he just repeats the same information in each one.…

    In “The Other Inconvenient Truth”, Charles Blow discusses “soft white supremacy”(Blow) and how it leads to the events such as what happened in Charlottesville. He believes that people are only feeling pity for African-Americans not a sense of equality, and that is what initiates and inspires conflicts of racism to rise. He also states that republicans like Trump “wanted the racists”(Blow), since they have a history of condemning all African-Americans to be less equal than whites. He further elaborates by talking about previous republican presidents malevolent acts toward African-Americans and how current president Trump decided to ignore the Charlottesville protest by not blaming the white nationalists. Charles is furious and frustrated by…

    Fear of a Black President In reading the article “Fear of a Black President” a thought which kept popping into my head was how I felt that Barack Obama was under more pressure and scrutinized than any other president in the recent past. I think that for him and for other African Americans, whether they agree with his views or not, Obama being elected president was an epic event. From a historical perspective it was a monumental day in United States history, an event that will written about for ages. Taking on the presidency is a great responsibility, but as the saying goes “with great power comes great responsibility.…

    How Fear Drives American Politics, a speech by David Rothkopf, is an enlightening viewpoint of the American government’s responses to terrorism in the 21st century. In his speech, Rothkopf conveys an observation that he has been aided in discovering by his unique vantage point of growing up a Jewish boy in New Jersey amid the fear of global thermo-nuclear war in the 1950‘s. His observation is this; Fear is one of the front-running catalysts for change in governmental, social, and societal changes in America. These changes in his opinion have come for the better, and worse in different situations throughout history. The Cold War gave birth to a heightened nuclear program, our space program, the interstate system, and the Internet.…

    Janiyah Belfor Critical Analysis on “ Defining Racism: “Can We Talk” Beverly Daniels Tatum’s “Defining Racism: “ Can We Talk”, published in 2003, explains that racism and prejudice still exist in today’s world and are not just something of the past. Many people are left in the dark about the daily racist situations that occur in the world and covered by the media.

Tatum would like people to recognize that racism still exist and it should be stopped. While Tatum’s evidence is relevant and her tone is clear, she unfortunately included a logical fallacy.…

    Racism has been around for many years and it is an issue that has never been fully resolved, although some may believe that it has. It is not uncommon to see crimes being mentioned everywhere but thanks to the media, we have seen the many incidents occurring recently involving white cops and black men, hence we have come to realize how racist we really are as a society and how big of an issue racism actually is even now. In the textbook Classical and Contemporary Sociological Theory, we are introduced to some of the first sociologists and their theories. Two sociologists that are relevant to present issues about racism would be Emile Durkheim and W.E.B. Du Bois.…
