Donald Trump is blatantly racist — and the media is too scared to call him out on it
German Lopez on June 3, 2016

Donald Trump, the actual Republican candidate for president, now endorsed by his party leaders, openly said he wants to exclude someone from a government job because of his race and ethnicity.

As the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, Trump said he wants to disqualify the federal judge overseeing the Trump University case because of his "Mexican heritage" and membership in a Latino lawyers association: ............

This is pure racism. There's no subtlety, no dog whistle, no coded language. ........

So, will Trump as president just fire everyone of color and create an all white government? Kind of sounds that way. Can't have anyone not white in government if they are murderers and rapists, right?

1. They aren't scared, they're owned...we don't have a free press or haven't you noticed?!

[Agnosticsherbet]

2. Look some of them are starting to take him on. I consider that a positive thing.

I will wait and see if it lasts past his next speech.

[Kelvin Mace]

3. They are making WAY too much money

with Trump.

[JustAnotherGen]

4. The Press won't

So we the people have to. Every chance we get - we need to tell it like it is.

When people say "he says what people are thinking" or he "tells the truth" I will point blank tell them to their face -

No he doesn't. He doesn't speak FOR me. I'm not a bigot and I won't take ownership for his words. They are his and his alone.

Or -Nope he doesn't speak for me. I've never thought or said anything he thinks or says because . . .

5. IMO they do not need to call him out - just cover what he

is doing. That gives us the proof we need to decide not to vote for him. And those who think like he does will vote for him no matter what.

[Person 2713]

12. I believe media can manipulate a certain voter sector . Ex: Fox News history of getting into

peoples head via outright uncontested lies
He needs to be called out imo

[jwirr]

14. Well that is true and if they called him on it for people who

follow so closely it would help.

6. Media doesn't want hinder their revenue stream..

Trump is great entertainment... why hinder?

[L. Coyote]

10. Seriously "Trump is great entertainment" if you are a racist.

Well, I guess that's a comment on the state of the nation or something, not your own viewpoint?

[Tal Vez]

7. Trump is blatantly racist because many of his supporters are blatantly racist.

Think about how jarring it was to a lot of his supporters when an African American moved into the White House. And then he appointed an African American Attorney General. And, there are more brown people in the supermarket.

These people "want their country back." They may not know much about history, but they know that their president is supposed to be white. That's a minimum!

Every day I hear Trump supporters saying that they support him because "Trump says what I'm thinking."

8. Whatever happened to the old plausibly deniable, dog whistle racism? nt

[tularetom]

9. They're uncomfortable with ponting out racism in political campaigns

Remember they took a hands off approach when Bill Clinton made some overtly racist statements about Obama in 2008.

They're unwilling to piss off anybody who is or might be important.

[L. Coyote]

11. Are you going to back up that accusation with a fact, or just your dog whistle.

You made the accusation, I'm calling you out!

[tularetom]

13. Chill out, and read it again, I agreed with you

[L. Coyote]

17. You are caling Bill a racist? That's NOT agreeing with me.

[uponit7771]

22. +1, I agree... Bill and Hillary should of been called out quick

[tenderfoot]

15. The media isn't scared - they created him.

eom

[corkhead]

16. Apparently he is good for ratings or Rachel Maddow wouldn't host a nightly show about him

It's still way too early to tear him down.

[L. Coyote]

18. I'm still doubtful Trump will be the nominee due to his Alzheimer's.

I expect a Ryan nomination.

[sarcasmo]

19. Taking us back to the 50's = great again in Trump speak.

[Timmy5835]

20. The media may have created him but....

They will just as easily destroy him. The downfall of Trump will bring greater ratings then his build up. Watching him emotionally lose it in real time will be a ratings bonanza.

[uponit7771]

21. +1....Most of the MSM is white, they hate to call out the other racist on their racist shit

[spanone]

23. i can't wait till i can wake in the morning and not see his fucking face
