There are very few issues you can point to where Donald Trump hasn’t been all over the board politically. This particular point however, his obvious hostility toward black and brown people, is one thing he has been consistent with his entire life.
This is genuinely who he is, and if you somehow think this is not who he is, you really need to rethink what you believe.
The most recent spewing of racist bile is not an isolated comment where he misspoke, or where he was quoted wrong, or where the liberal “fake news” media is out to get him. All you really need to do is consider the first thing he did when he began his campaign for president, where he called all Mexicans rapists and criminals. Source
There is a very predictable pattern of behavior that clearly describes Trump as a racist, and this is more than just my opinion, I argue this is an objective fact.
The Trump real estate business lost a civil rights suit brought by the Department of Justice because they would automatically reject black and other minority applications to lease their properties. Source
Trump has equated white supremacists to the people who were protesting them with the infamous “many sides” press conference. Source
Minority dealers in the now bankrupt Trump Casinos, sued and won over the unfair treatment they received. Source
He has referred to black athletes who take a knee in protest of police killing unarmed black men as “sons of bitches”. Source
He has argued with civil rights icon John Lewis, and congress women Frederica Wilson, for no reason other than their skin color. Source
Before even considering entering politics, Donald Trump advocated keeping the Central Park Five (black men) in jail even after they were exonerated of any crime. Source
Look for one place in his life where this man apologized, asked for repentance, requested absolution, or any action to make you think racist ideology is not at his core beliefs...
There’s not one that I can think of, and I’ve been looking.

Now you can find occasions where Trump appears to say “the right things”, but only when he’s reading from a script, and none of these comments have even the slightest aura of his true feeling. When he is speaking unscripted and on the fly, his racist ideology tends to "slip", and whether it's accidental or intentional - who knows.
I know that basically anyone can read pretty much anything, and at least partially express the illusion that it’s what you believe. However when you are the President of the United States, every word is scrutinized, and every sentence you speak aloud is analyzed - so much so that eventually, everything you truly believe will manifest in your words, and become apparent to everyone...
Even those who are not even paying attention.
I think the real actions we as concerned Americans have to take, and I have said this a few times in the past - is we need to stop really looking at Trump (sadly we know what he’s all about), and start looking at all the people who are defending and supporting him. The people around Trump are constantly coming out after he says or does some ignorant, racist, unethical, criminal thing - saying it’s horrible, denouncing his actions, or whatever other non action.
Then they sit shoulder to shoulder with him after getting what they want, and say he’s the greatest.
This is sycophancy in it's purest form, and it literally means that all the people doing this are participating in the bigotry, part of the racism, complicit in the ignorance, and enabling this bigoted, racist, ignorant person, to continue believing it's all just ok to be a racist POS...
