Donald Trump's Racist Viewpoints

Trump has put into his campaign. He has brought Islamophobia to a whole new level feeding off of our citizens fear of another terrorist attack on American soil. Trump stated that America needs “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” He defended this statement by saying those who believe in Jihad pose a threat to our nation (Chavez, Paola). His comments about Muslims has stirred communities to fear their Islam practicing neighbors without a legitimate reason. Trump has caused much of society to belittle the African American race with his uneducated rhetoric. Trump has stated, “There’s no such thing as racism anymore. We’ve had a black president so it’s not a question anymore. Are they saying black lives should matter more than white lives or Asian lives? If black lives matter, then go back to Africa? We’ll see how much they matter.” However, we all know racism exists and always will, no matter how hard we try to rid it from our society. To attempt to gain the African American vote in a speech he says “You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58% of your youth is unemployed -- what the hell do you have to lose?” Donald Trump obviously as no issue talking badly of minority races especially Mexicans. Trump himself has labeled Mexican immigrants as criminals, rapist, and killers. His uneducated statement set off those of

The Hispanic population in the United States has increased throughout the years, but so has the racism. Sad to say that many other races don’t like the fact that more Hispanics are migrating all over the United States. Donald Trump our 45th president of the United States has created more racism with his statements towards Hispanics. In the article from “The Washington Post” by Michelle Ye Hee Lee, mentions that there been many violent rallies with many people getting hurt, as well as many protest around the United States due to these words from president trump “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people”.

On June 16, 2015, a long time television and real estate magnate by the name of Donald J. Trump opened his presidential campaign by uttering one of the most racially insensitive remarks in today’s time when he elucidated upon that notion that Mexican immigrants who come to America are not model citizens but rather rapists and murderers who undermine the legitimacy and economic fortitude of the American experiment. This racist and xenophobic remark illustrates just how entrenched the notion of white supremacy or as Walter Rodney would call it the “white cultural imperialism” ideology is inextricably tied to the understanding of our society today. Because of this problematic ideology, there must be some sort of opposition to fight against such

After a long history of toying with the idea of running for election, Donald Trump’s announcement speech this June was enough to get the nation talking. Not only because he was finally making good on a decade’s worth of promises, but also because his offensive declarations were unprecedented in the world of ‘P.C.’ American politicians. Trump’s claims of Mexican rapists, drug lords, and criminal cartels flooding over our borders seemed completely outrageous coming from a man running for President. Accordingly so, it wasn’t long before the Trump campaign

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.

The 2016 Presidential Election has brought a lot of controversy due to negative statements about not only the United States but as well as other countries specifically focusing on Mexico and the border. Both Presidential Candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have both touched on the topic about Mexico and its border. However, Donald Trump has been the one with the negative statements about Mexico, the border, and their people. I am arguing about the lack of reliability of Donald Trump's statements throughout the Presidential Election about Mexico, the border, and their people. Trump had stated that, “Likewise, tremendous infectious disease is pouring across the border. The United States has become a dumping ground for Mexico and, in

Donald Trump is racist from all kind, one is deporting all immigrants mostly Hispanics and build a great wall between Americans and Mexico. Deporting all immigrants will destroy the economy plus it would take 2022 to deport all. 75% of Mexicans

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. ... They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people," Trump said in his announcement speech in June

During Trump's speech announcing his presidential bid back in June, Trump said, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best... They're brining drugs. They're brining crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people," according to CNN (Zaru 1). More importantly, Trump caters to the idea that Mexicans are criminals who are only known for stealing American jobs and taking money from Americans. According to the 2010 Census data, less educated native born men age 18-39 had an incarceration rate of 10.7 percent, which is more than triple the 2.8 percent rate among foreign-born Mexican men, and five times greater than the 1.7 percent rate among foreign-born Salvadoran and Guatemalan men (Ewing et al. 1). Therefore, the assumptions and fallacies Donald Trump, along with many other GOP presidential candidates spew about Mexicans and illegal immigrants, is far from the truth, seeing as native born men are more likely to commit crimes than immigrants. According to the Washington Post, former GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson suggested that Muslims might be dangerous, and even compared Muslim Syrian refugees to dogs, saying, "If there's a rabid dog running around in your neighborhood, you're probably not going to assume something good about that dog. It doesn't mean you hate all dogs, but you're putting your intellect into motion" (Ehrenfreund 4). Subsequently, after terrorist attacks in places such as San Bernardino, California

Donald Trump a very popular Republic candidate recently stated that “you have people coming in, and I’m talking about people that are from all over are killers and rapists and they’re coming into this country”. This statement is 50% incorrect, I will show proof and facts that prove my logic.

Donald Trump is the kind of person who doesn’t even think before he speaks and feel as if he has the authority to say whatever pleases him. He speaks negatively about immigrants calling them criminals, rapists, and killers. In addition to this, he called his followers passionate after he was told that two men beat a Hispanic man in his name. However, not only is he blaming Mexicans for violent crimes, he is blaming Blacks as well and being antagonistic toward the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Trump supporters have been even more ethnocentric than before, because of the Election Day closing in on us. The studies in the article show the dramatic difference in ethnocentrism between Republicans and Democrats. “Almost 20 percent of Trump supporters disagree with the Emancipation Proclamation, which ended slavery in the United States.” This goes to show that a small percentage of Americans today would not mind if we still had slaves in society today. Trump has said himself that he wants to deport all Muslims and Mexicans back to their countries. Ethnocentrism is demonstrated by a graph showing which party (Democrat or Republican) has a higher level of ethnocentrism. With Trumps’ people-pleasing tactics he can try and persuade millions

It has been a week since Donald Trump was made president-elect. When I woke up and saw the news, I could barely comprehend what had just happened to our country. It felt like living a nightmare. I had never actually considered the possibility that he would win. I was immediately terrified. Trump stands for a number of opinions that would directly affect me and my rights as a citizen of America. While a number of these would be impossible to actually implement, such as his desire to repeal same-sex marriage, which would require a new case brought to the supreme court with new evidence, the idea that the president of my country believes in policies that infringe on my existence is terrifying.

“You’re a racist.” A term that people across the world don’t want to be deemed as. Racism in America has been rampant since the colonial era. From the 17th century to the present, basic human rights and privileges such as sexuality, education, immigration, voting rights, land acquisition, and criminal procedure have been exclusively given to White Americans but denied to Native Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic and Latino Americans. Racial profiling, racial slurs, and heinous, violent acts towards a racial background have been notorious for creating a divide in the “United” States. In modern media, multi-millionaire businessman and now President of the United States, Donald Trump has been pinned a white supremacist and a racist. A racist is a person who shows evidence of placing hierarchical value between racial groups, has a history of derogatory speech towards a particular racial group and also inspires other acts of hatred. One thing that is misunderstood is that a popular figure in the media or politics can’t be racist. It could be argued that Donald Trump isn’t a racist because of his long history of philanthropy initiatives, awards, and recognitions however, this doesn’t erase his history of discrimination and prejudice.
