Donald Trump

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

To be fair I am not up to scratch with 1970’s hotel policy in America and didn’t know about that.

There wasn’t a huge racism controversy with the man when he was running the Apprentice or appearing on other shows.

Read up on the experiences of black participants on The Apprentice then, it will change your mind

1) Wasn’t a hotel

2) When you make a statement “Trump wasn’t known for being a racist...” that’s simply saying “I was unaware that Trump WAS known for being a racist.”

If you’re not “up to scratch” on his previous, that’s on you, not us. So it’s foolhardy to make statements about things you’ve obviously not taken the time to read up on.

Even just do a bit of research.

Did you know he was a racist when he was on the apprentice, honestly?

Had you read up on him being a racist before he even went for the Presidency or put his name forward or have you retrospectively read up on it since, and found some dirt?

I knew of Trump before 2015 when he announced his run for Presidency and I remember the racism stuff only really starting following that.

Maybe it was my perception and what I was viewing but I doubt people knew his whole track record of racism, there certainly wasn’t a storm around the man in the 00’s or 2010’s.

Sorry I’m not obsessed with the man 24/7, I don’t need to do research into his life in the 1970’s to realise he’s a total cockwomble now.

All I said was he wasn’t known to be a racist before this presidency.

I never said he wasn’t one.

Except he was known to be. Just not by you.

By who then?

 

[west didsblue]

By who then?

Me.
I can't speak for anyone else but there's no shortage of stuff online from before his presidency so I'm guessing quite a few people. The first link I posted was from months before his presidency and references stuff that was widely known in the 1970s. The second link refers to a book written in 1991 and his response to the allegations made in it.

Well if you’d researched the man before he even announced his presidency then fair play.

I used to watch the Apprentice and knew of him and never heard anything about that.

I don’t think if you’d have asked 10 Americans what they thought of him in say, 2005, they’d have said “racist”.

I reckon most would now.

To be honest, I detest the guy so I’m not going to waste energy dying on this hill, as always though Sweep comes in all angry.
