> But his words have made it okay to be racist. As a minority, I experienced more minor forms of racism in last 4 years than in last 20 years before. He made it cool to be racist.

No, he didn’t. He denounced white supremacy more than any politician ever has, but folks were obsessed with these “Trump is a Nazi” lies. There’s a reason that more minorities voted for him than any GOP candidate ever. In fact, the only demographic that he lost ground on was white men.

What minor forms of racism are you saying he caused in your life?

Tell me this: When Trump riled up his supporters to chant "send them back" when referring to the American congresswomen known as "the squad", was it racist or not?

"Go back to where you came from" is a common racial insult non-white immigrants endure even decades or generations after they naturalize.

Source? I’m very curious to learn more about this

I find this incredibly disturbing. I don’t mean that negatively or personally in any way. But I routinely meet people who are completely unaware of this and who actually think he called Nazis very fine people. Because the media and the campaign ads and people on social media keep repeating this lie and never show the dozens of times that he has already addressed this, including in the second half of the sentence that quote comes from, but was edited out. The fact that such a significant hoax that is trivially debunked continues to live on for years is a bad sign. Obviously, this is why he attacks the media so much. And who can blame him?

Sibling comment has a compilation of him doing it 38 times. I recommend this video as well:

Here’s a video compilation of Trump denouncing racism and white supremacy on 38 different occasions (https://youtube.com/watch?v=Bd0cMmBvqWc).

But Trump [1] also says the non-white congresswomen known as "the squad" should go back to where they came from. Even riled up his supporters [2] to chant "send her back".

You know "go back to where you came from" is a common racial insult hurled at non-white immigrants decades or generations after they naturalize in the USA?

Is Biden any better? Quoting 'adventured' from elsewhere in this thread:

> As opposed to Biden's belligerent life-long racism, which the left universally goes a great distance out of its way to ignore?

> Even Kamala Harris called him a racist. She did her best to run away from that after it was no longer convenient of course.

> See: Biden's statements on "a racial jungle," segregation, busing, and how he didn't want his children going to desegregated schools.

> See: Biden's support of the crime bill that specifically targeted and locked up a million black people.

> See: Biden's past friendships and associations with 'former' KKK memembers like Robert Byrd (someone he considered a good friend and mentor). Byrd was one of the most vile pieces of scum elected to the US Government in the past century. How's that for associating with white supremacists?

> See: Biden's racist statements about Obama prior to the 2008 election.

"what about Biden?" in no way excuses Trump's statements.

It is in the context of Trump supposedly “making it cool to be a racist”. You’re not replacing Trump with a pure and just candidate like Sanders, but rather with another racist (if you believe Trump deserve to be labeled a racist) who’s been on the wrong side of history for the majority of his political career. The only difference is that the mainstream media has abandoned all journalistic integrity in order to protect Biden and attack Trump at all costs. They’re really no better than FoxNews at this point.

Do you have a source for that source? What about his emails in his laptop?
