Donald Trump Racism

In recent months, a new song has surfaced, “Everybody”; the composer, Logic, is a well know biracial rapper whose song are typically based on politics or social issues happening presently; this new song is not any different. The basic concept of the song is about how neither “whites” nor “blacks” consider him part of their culture, and he counters this with the chorus that generally says people are people and when broken down cry, bleed, and want the same things (Logic). Many allusions and references are made throughout the piece; for example, “Now picture little Bobby just a youngin’ runnin’ round with his mans, hammer in his hands, feelin’ like a man…before the popo get the gun, put it to your brain,” (Logic). These lines speak about recent police brutality against young black men and especially the Trayvon Martin case. The first line of verse two uses imagery as well as simile to convey that he is like a Jehovah witness trying to spread his truth and beliefs (Logic). He thinks that society does not want to “face facts” and admit the injustices that going on all around, so he is here to educate and enlighten (Logic). Logic also references his

Donald Trump’s signature topic during his presidential campaign has been illegal immigration. He has generated headlines and controversial remarks during his plans for change. In 2015, when he announced he was running for president, Donald Trump claimed Mexico was sending all their rapist and violent criminals into the U.S. (Gabbatt, 2015). He also called for the deportation of an estimated eleven million illegal immigrants.

April 2015 was the year Donald Trump, the Republican, announced to the public his serious interest in joining the 2016 presidency election. Trump 's highest interest is immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, and states they are "criminals.” He blames the race of Mexicans of robbing Americans jobs, and treating Americans like babies (Miller, n.pag.). What he does not know, is that not all Mexicans are "criminals," and we are not robbing Americans ' jobs. Most of us come to United States to work our hardest, and get a better job. Trump not only is he a racist, but he also has made many unprofessional actions and decisions. We should not be voting for Donald Trump because his ruthless actions against immigrants are strongly affecting our society and segregating most races within each other. He can be a dangerous future president who is carelessly choosing between the white American and Mexican.Trump shows a high interest in segregation among all races and blames most of the unemployed by allowing Mexicans to “take over”.

Is racism still a problem in America more than fifty years after the Civil Rights Movement, and 48 years after the 1964 Civil Rights Act signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson? How far has America come from the days when African Americans were lynched by fanatical racist mobs and from the days when Jim Crowe laws trumped the laws set forth by the U.S. Constitution? This paper delves into those and other issues involving racism in America. Thesis: American has come a long way from the days of lynchings and prohibitions against African Americans voting or sitting at the lunch counter. There are laws that protect minorities from discrimination in housing and hiring, and great strides have been made. However, racism remains a reality, including institutional racism in America.

Since the song was originally written in 2005, and then re appeared in the Fight With Tools album it makes sense that the song would by influenced by the war America was fighting in Iraq at the time. In 2003 the Bush administration decided to invade Iraq, and from then on until the present many Americans and non-Americans have died as a result of wartime violence. Even though the war went on many Americans really started to question the reason why the war was still going on if the weapons of mas destruction were already found, the reason given for the invasion of Iraq. Some also questioned the entire reason for the war; according to a MSNBC Documentary, “Some of the most senior officials in the U.S. government, including President Bush himself, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, asserted these claims in public with absolute confidence, even while privately, ranking U.S. military officers and intelligence professionals were voicing their doubts”(“ How the Bush Administration Sold the Iraq War”). However, the people did nothing and the war continued. The song was meant for people who wanted to change what is happening around

The first frequency that I noticed was the fact that the white man keeps saying the word nigga. He uses throughout his entire verse while saying he isn’t racist at the same time. As the verse continues he gets more and more racist until he drops the word nigger. He continues to use the word despite the fact how inappropriate and disrespectful it is just to get his point across. That is why this connects very much to pathos and it is a recurring word that creates an emotional response. Another frequency is the blatant racism. The white man is racist until the very end where they reach an understanding. This transitions into contrasts, the frequency of the racism with the name of the song begin “I'm Not Racist”. There is already a huge contrast or binary of the racist material of the song and the fact that the song is called “I’m Not Racist”. This binary continues when the white man is openly racist and then says that he isn't racist. This is obviously not

Trump would have made waves just by announcing that he was running for president, but what really riled people up were his negative and arguably racist comments about Latinos. He characterized them as criminals, drug runners and rapists, all while arguing that he would keep them out of the country if he were elected. Since that moment, the media, political pundits and political operatives have been having a field day. Through it all, Donald Trump has not backed down from what he said and his support among Republican voters has skyrocketed.

Every year, millions of immigrants come into the United States. Generally, the United States policies are complex but the topic of immigration in the country is far more complicated to understand. Currently, the topic is extremely controversial yet the government has been trying to avoid addressing it for quite a while now. Nevertheless, it is very rare for a candidate to make immigration policy part of his platform but in the 2016 presidential election Donald Trump even made it part of his campaign which caused world-wide controversy. Trump claimed that he would “make America great again” and create a high security wall along the border between Mexico and the United States. Nevertheless, any decision taken by the government will affect everyone in the country, whether in a positive or negative manner, as “an estimated 11.4 million unauthorized immigrants were living in the United States in January 2012 compared to 11.5 million in January 2011.” The numbers keep increasing every day

This year’s presidential election is is being referred to as one that will be historic. While the 2016 presidential campaign has in fact caused social and political disagreement, each candidate beginning and remaining candidate in the presidential race brought forth issues in our nation for table discussion. One of the most debated topics during the primary elections and caucus season was the issue of immigrants and illegal immigration. During this time, current Republican front runner Donald Trump declared accusations towards the Mexican and Hispanic community as being part of the American downfall. While making vulgar remarks earned the GOP candidate publicity and support from anti-immigration reform holders, Trump’s remarks also brought forth the argument into the light.

Donald Trump is a republican candidate who is leading the polls for the upcoming presidential election; numerous people are terrified that America would deteriorate if he was chosen as president. Furthermore, Trump is excessively publicized about since he has taken one sided views on controversial topics. For example, Trump wants to ban the immigration of Muslims into the U.S. (Diamond, 1), and he wants a border to be assembled between the U.S. and Mexico (McCarthy, 1), which he assumes Mexico will pay for. Trump accounts for 43 percent of all GOP coverage on network news so far this year (Cary, 1). When Trump insults war heroes, women, immigrants, his fellow candidates, and Congress people of

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” These are the words of Donald Trump, now the presumptive republican nominee who represents every republican in the United States; that’s 23% of all voters or about 55 million registered republicans in the nation (Pew Research Center). Recently, Trump has stolen the spotlight with his flamboyant nature as he expresses his narrow minded views without consideration of the opinions of others. However what makes him stand out of the crowd are his views that reflect strong racism. Trump continues to express his racist remarks on how Mexicans and Muslims should be deported

It is hard to believe that an individual like Donald Trump would now be the president of the United States of America. Many individuals believed that Trump would have never run until he did. Then, others said he would never win the primaries until he did. Finally, everyone assumed that there were little to zero possibilities that Trump would actually become one of the United States presidents until he did and is our president today, and is currently inside the White House running the country. For most of the society, it was a huge shock, there was a fear of deportation in many of the immigrant families going around. However, for others, they were satisfied with the

In a recent press conference, Donald Trump stated “racism is evil”. How can the leader of one of the most influential countries in the world say something this hypocritical? If all racism is evil, what does that make him?

From the very beginning of his campaign trail, Donald Trump piqued America’s interest with his blunt and oftentimes shocking statements. With his candidacy came exclamations of making America great, building walls, deporting illegal immigrants, and keeping jobs in the United States. A Google search

Artists across music genres are at the forefront of new protest songs in response to the rise of President Donald J. Trump and his words in the media. One political track, titled “Land of the Free” by Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, speaks to society through a bouncy beat in contrast to its blunt, politically-charged lyrics. Brooklyn based rapper Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, otherwise known as Joey Bada$$, released his single “Land of the Free” on January 20, 2017, the day of President Trump’s inauguration. According to Scott, “Land of the Free” was inspired by African-American civil rights leaders such as Marcus Garvey, Dr. Umar Johnson, and Malcolm X (Scott, 2017, Land of the Free). In the song, Scott discusses the racism and prejudice today towards minority groups, especially African-Americans. He also touches on how former President Barack Obama’s presidency was not enough to cause big enough change on the inequality in America. The message in the track, along with the correlating album, “All-Amerikkkan Bada$$”, challenges Americans to speak up and “start a new coalition against corrupt politicians” (Scott, 2017, Land of the Free). Using the cluster analysis method, the song’s word choice is accurately analyzed since clustering the words gives the lyrics a fresh perspective on the political meaning, and it helps evaluate Scott’s motive for wanting change. Scott critiques the political indifference America has towards the ongoing issue of inequality using the key terms free, just,
