Donald Trump has been a racist piece of shit for decades, and if you can’t see it by now, you’re either lying to yourself, straight‑up willfully ignorant, and blind, or auditioning for a role in the next Keystone Klan remake. This isn’t some fringe opinion. This is the pattern of a man who doesn’t just tolerate racism, he broadcasts it like a human confetti cannon of bigotry.
Let’s start with the housing discrimination trash fire that kick‑started his public life: back in 1973, the federal government sued Trump Management because Donnie and Daddy Fred were literally refusing to rent apartments to Black people, and even marking applications with a “C” for “Colored.” That wasn’t a slip‑up; it was a business model, and when the Department of Justice pointed it out, Trump responded by suing them for $100 million because somehow complaining that you’re a racist is offensive.
Then there’s the Central Park Five: five teenagers, Black and Latino, falsely accused of a violent crime, and what did Trump do? He took out full‑page ads in New York newspapers calling for the death penalty before there was any actual conviction. That’s right: a multimillionaire reality‑TV landlord demanded executions of innocent kids because of the color of their skin and the thrill of being in the spotlight. Years later, when DNA proved they were innocent and the real perpetrator confessed?
Trump still called them guilty because admitting a mistake = weakness, and apologizing = nope.
By 2011, Trump moved from racist landlord to professional race-baiter with the birther bullshit. For years, he pushed the lie that America’s first Black president wasn’t “really” born here, insisting Barack Obama was born in Kenya. Obama produced his Hawaiian birth certificate twice — twice — and Trump still clung to the conspiracy like a toddler with a security blanket soaked in racism. It wasn’t about facts. It wasn’t about legality. It was about demeaning a Black man because he could.
And this week? Last night, smack dab in the middle of Black History Month, Trump took it even further with a late‑night Truth Social post where he shared a video that included a clip showing Barack and Michelle Obama depicted as apes; the oldest, most vile racist trope in the history of anti‑Black imagery, before the clip cut back to false election conspiracy garbage. The post instantly drew bipartisan condemnation, with lawmakers and civil rights observers labeling the imagery racist and offensive.
This guy doesn’t just toss out a bad comment once in a while. He broadcasts this garbage to the world. He amplifies dehumanizing content about Black Americans, and then, when people call it out, his press team shrugs and says it’s all just “meme culture” while dismissing criticism as “fake outrage.” That’s how entrenched this behavior is—it’s not even embarrassing anymore.
Look at the totality of it: refusing to rent to Black people, publicly calling for the execution of Black and Latino teenagers, spreading a baseless conspiracy to delegitimize the first Black president, and now amplifying imagery that literally compares Black Americans to monkeys. This isn’t an accident. This isn’t misinterpretation. This is a consistent, relentless pattern of looking at race and responding with hate. Not “dog whistles”, bullhorns.
If you still want to pretend Trump isn’t a racist after a lifetime of evidence and a fresh viral racist post just last night, then congratulations: your moral compass is broken, your standards are nonexistent, and you’re part of the problem. End of story.
“I am a piece of shit. And you thought I just played one on TV.”
