    If you can find an actual quote of Trump saying this, the lefty media will pay you BIG money for it.

    There is no quote of Trump saying anything racist. All there is are lefties who are claiming that he said something racist.

    Either Trump said something racist, or he did not. If you have to put his words through a lefty filter to see them meaning something that he did not even say, you will not win this one.

    Provide the link where Trump says blacks need to go back where they came from.

    Trump talked about shithole countries. We know Trump does not tell people to go back to Sweden.
    Shithole countries have nothing to do with race. It is not racist to talk about shithole countries, since shithole is not a race. Swedish is not a race either. Racism MUST be about race, this is why we hear the word "race" when we say "racism".


    Telling people to go back where they came from has been a racist insult for a blah, blah, blah...
    There are 5 races recognized by the US Census, and these five races are scattered all over the globe. The only place people could possibly "go back to", would be another country, but that is nationality. Nationality is not race. Race is not geographic.

Since racism is about race, and Trump did not identify any race, there cannot be racism. Lefties however, show their racism by implying that "back where they came from" is a designated place where a certain race is from.
    It's Trump and his cultists who hate America and all that it stands for. They also hate Jesus and all that He stands for.

Keep in mind that Trump has also never said this to a white person, even ones that he hates like Pelosi and Biden.

    It's like when people say the Holocaust didn't happen. Could a person just honestly believe the Holocaust didn't happen? Sure. But denying the Holocaust is a common trope used against Jews. If someone were to tell four Jewish congress officials that they need to stop complaining about the Holocaust because it didn't happen, we would all know that person was being anti-semitic.

    I think you're smart enough to know that Trump did this to play to the Alt-Right. And personally, I agree with him. To be American, you have to be white. I just don't understand why his supporters won't admit that they feel the same way.

    If Trump is targeting his remarks at people of certain races, or people who are not of a certain race, then those remarks would meet the definition of racist.

    Is that racist? I don't know. But Trump definitely said what he did in order to try to get people like me on his side.
    American is not an ethnicity, it's a nationality.

    I don't know how a person could honestly believe the Holocaust didn't happen, given all the physical evidence.

    And since when do you have to be white to be American?

    Glad to see that you know the difference between ethnicity, nationality, religion, and race. Not many lefties understand this.

    We can call it bigotry instead of racism but the end result is the same.

    Well, he was born in England, unlike three of the women.

    Racism is one type of bigotry, but bigotry and racism are not the same thing. Racism is specifically about race, which is why we hear the word "race" when we say "racism." Lefties are actively trying to make racism the definition of all forms of bigotry, and perhaps they will succeed if google and and facebook monopolize and censor the web. For now though, bigotry and racism are not the same thing.

    Real victims of actual racism are hurt when lefties hijack the only word that describes what they are going through, so we need to make sure that lefties do not hijack the word and use it to describe all forms of bigotry.
