Preachers to Trump: You’re a racist

A coalition of African-American ministers has wasted no time setting the tone for rapid-response in the infancy of 2012’s presidential campaign by publicly calling billionaire Donald Trump a racist.

Donald Trump has angered a number of Blacks with his comments about Obama’s birth.
"In his fledgling bid as a presidential nominee, Trump has re-ignited false allegations of President Obama’s citizenship - stirring up old rumors about the validity of Obama’s Hawaii birth records," the Rev. Anthony Evans, president National Black Church Initiative, said in a recent statement. "These remarks are extraordinarily misinformed and speak to a deeper and more insidious problem - racism."

-------------

"As a national African-American organization, we are appalled that in Trump’s effort to garner publicity and separate himself from the pack, he feels it is appropriate to dredge up false, divisive and ugly rumors about our elected president," said Evans, who represents a faith-based coalition of 34,000 churches comprised of 15 denominations and 15.7 million African-Americans.

"While we may disagree with Obama on policy decisions, we wholeheartedly stand behind our president and, in accordance with widely accepted facts, acknowledge his lawful citizenship," he said. "Those who remain skeptical are unsuccessfully hiding their racism under a veil of conspiracy theories and gossip."

4. Know what's appalling? What's appalling is that there are people who

don't automatically see the racism in this birther crap...by those I mean the filthy, incompetent MSM.

5. I don't want to defend Trump, he is a billionaire

However.

He is not a racist, his crew has as many African Americans as European Americans.

He is not racist.

On a side note, they called me a racist for awhile also, even using stuff I posted wrongly adding things I did not say to try and make me seem racist.


I am honest, and a smear is a smear, even if I disagree with his politics.

7. You didn't convince me, RandomThoughts

Sorry, but anyone pushing this birther nonsense is being at the very least a craven opportunist pandering to the racists in this country, if not an outright racist himself. In the end, I can't see a real difference between the racists and the demagogue who is pandering to them. The damage is still being done.

12. ahh, I missed the birther issue as a rascist one.

I did not make that connection. I would say he is messing with them, keeping that as the media Republican issue.

No democrat can really keep that issue going, so need a few Republicans to keep that idea going, since it is a total loser for Republicans.

Thats my guess. He is not racist from my observations, I could be wrong, but that is not accurate in my view.



He also mentioned tariffs, so he could have many ideas we not hearing, since they make much sense if you support American people, and democracy and better conditions in some other countries.

He is not an idiot, but he is not in the inner circle of 'old boys club' either. He been questioning why they could not catch Bin Laden, instead of knowing that is a boogey man for instance.

John McCain said if elected he would catch Bin Laden, I am guessing becuase his demise is known and he only exists in a few CGIs before elections for last years.

11. His "crew"?

Yeah, well, cotton plantations employed a lot of Africans too.

[ecstatic]

13. Obama's grandparents lied to get welfare! Obama didn't write his autobiography!

Ayers did, because Obama is not smart enough to write like that!

What more proof do you need?
