Let's assume for a moment you're right. Donald Trump is racist.
BUT if that's true:
- Why would he sign and support 250M of annual funding for historically black colleges? Why would his administration provide more than $500 million in loans to historically black colleges?
- Why would he create an environment that supported RECORD LOW black unemployment? Why would black American incomes increase 2.6%?
- Why would he support and sign meaningful criminal justice reform, like First Step Act?
Prepare to watch brains explode.
Once you’ve accepted the false premise you’ve “lost” the debate. Just ask what he’s done that’s racist, any example (like, “he said all Mexicans are rapists” or the Charlottesville very fine people) is easily and objectively proven false. If they’re anything like my lib friends they will just roll their eyes, scoff and say something really smart like, “you got to be kidding Me, bro.” And not a single example of racism will be given.
Tried that in past, but ultimately, couldn't get them to watch a full youtube clip to see they are wrong because "How could that be okay in any context? Reee"
Try the clip of jr talking about family vacations as a kid to Disney Land with black families.
“We both know he’s racist”
No motherfucker, I don’t. Now give me just one example of racism. They never do, crazy how they suddenly can’t reply to your comments after you ask for a single racist quote
It does not work. Had a friend who posted a NYT opinion piece as proof of Trumps racism. It was called something like "all the times trump was racist", I cant remember, and it brought up everything, even allegations like "some janitor in some casino 50 years ago said he heard Trump say this and that" as proof. I addressed every single point the article made, one by one, and he got really angry at me, saying that I was a racist Trump fanboy because I actually took the time to address each allegation. I was 100% respectful the whole time while him and his 10 friends I dont know piled on against me, calling me racist, and saying I turned it into a toxic post simply for respectfully disagreeing. They really lost their shit when I said automatically thinking "shithole county" means black people is racist.

This works well and is my go-to. For the right audience, it may actually get them to open their eyes.
I do this as well. I simply ask them me to provide instances of his racism. They never have examples. Sometimes I'll ask why, if he's such a terrible racist, was he was never called a racist before running for president.
