Are all Trump supporters racists?

The big concern about Republican treatment of minorities is taken all out of proportion. Why, they read the census projections that White Males will be a minority soon, so they have put all of their energy into an outreach program, to make sure they're not left behind. And it seems to be working.

87% of the GOP House members are non-Hispanic white males.

And you lefties say they're uncaring. Explain that, will ya!

I wish it was Bill, rockin' a little consensual fling while simultaneously leading the country with intellect and success after success. Hell, event Saint Donald the Orange loved him some Bubba back in the day!

Certainly the Donald was a Clinton supporter and showered them with money. However, The Donald seems to be unforgiving of Bill's NAFTA.

I understand your point, but mine was that racism exists when people of one race view another as beneath them or with hatred and contempt. I'm a White man, I have a multiracial family. I sometimes get looks and comments from Whites,Blacks, and Asians. So put away your violin......Ignoring racism will make it go away, sometimes you may even do more to combat racism with a loud giggle at someone that makes a racist comment or when someone gives you that "disapproving eye"
Avoidance is an option but I find meeting any disapproval with a giggle reveals the sillyness of the offending individual's behavior to them. Racism is not a big problem in the US, it exists sure. It's been fueled largely by the Democrat party, as they openly try to separate power in government by race. It's wrong, no matter which race is being shorted.

Exactly we need to do things like reframe Martin Luther King day as a celebration of the death of a man who set race relations back decades with his stupid talking about them.

Chris, I think I see your point and I almost agree with it, but I think you must make a very important distinction between ignoring race and ignoring racism. The former is the way we all should behave, I think, but the latter is, unfortunately, something we cannot control by our own behavior. I think racism is deeper and more pernicious than you'd like to believe, though I am always willing to hope I'm wrong. And there is no such thing as the "Democrat party." If you want civil discourse getting names right is a good start.

I believe the US is more than it has been portrayed to be in the press. Racism exists sure, but not as extreme as it has been played up to be. No, there aren't White cops targeting Black men. The issue of race has become one of campaign tactics. The separation of race is of particular interest to one of the parties involved. It's wrong, and that's one reason why that candidate of that party lost the election. Perhaps I have a different view than some, but I feel we must treat everyone equally and not try to take political power away from anyone because of their skin color, whatever that color may be.

Huh, I never would have guessed that 107.9% of the US population is White, Hispanic, or Black.

Ah, I think I found it in a footnote at the bottom of the page:

(b) Hispanics may be of any race, so also are included in applicable race categories

Do you think Hillary Clinton campaigned to all US citizens equally? Any particular part of the population she left out? If so, why? Be honest.

Yes, she had policies that would have helped them. But now they have to bet that trump wasn't lying when he promised to take away their healthcare. Didn't prevent them from voting for him though.

Facts from Census.gov certainly do matter. What matters more is understanding how those facts are presented. Wouldn't you agree? Chris B.

Donald Trump is the president-elect because those red state land masses cast their vote for him despite the fact that he is a sociopathic liar, and across the country people voted against Hillary because of 25 years of character assassination built on everything from crude distortions to baldfaced lies. Now we're being told that winning is all that matters, which is equivalent to being told that facts don't matter.

But while you're watching reality TV, reality is plotting its revenge. Facts do matter, and Trump voters are not immune to the destruction that he and the Republican congress are about to unleash.
