DUMB AND DUMBER.

Even if he pisses in your mouth you will say he is not a racist.


A FEW INSTANCES OF TRUMP RACISM:


Donald Trump has faced numerous accusations of making racist statements and engaging in racist behavior throughout his public life, both before and during his presidency. Here are some of the key instances that have been widely discussed and criticized:

1. Central Park Five Case (1989)
In 1989, Trump took out full-page ads in four major New York City newspapers calling for the death penalty for five Black and Latino teenagers who were wrongfully convicted of raping a white woman in Central Park. Despite their exoneration in 2002, Trump continued to insist that the men were guilty.

2. Mexican Immigrants (2015)
During his presidential campaign announcement in June 2015, Trump referred to Mexican immigrants as "rapists" and criminals. He said, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best... they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists."

3. Charlottesville Comments (2017)
After the violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides," suggesting that some of the white supremacists were not entirely at fault for the violence.

4. Shithole Countries" (2018)
During a meeting with lawmakers, Trump reportedly referred to Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as “shithole countries,” implying that immigrants from these places were undesirable. The comment was widely condemned as racist.

5. Birtherism Campaign (2011-2016)
Trump was a leading figure in the birther movement, which falsely claimed that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States and therefore was not eligible to be president. This movement was widely seen as racially motivated, given that Obama is Black.

6. Muslim Ban (2017)
Shortly after taking office, Trump signed an executive order barring entry to the U.S. from several Muslim-majority countries. Critics decried the move as discriminatory and Islamophobic, particularly since no evidence supported the claim that individuals from these countries were more likely to commit acts of terrorism.

7. "Go Back to Your Country" (2019)
In a series of tweets, Trump told four Democratic congresswomen of color—Reps. Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib—to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came.” All four women were American citizens, and three were born in the U.S. This remark was widely condemned as racist.

8. Referring to Native American Senator Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas" (2016-2020):
Trump repeatedly referred to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas," mocking her claims of Native American heritage. Many viewed this as an insult to Native Americans, diminishing their history and culture.

9. The "Very Fine People" Controversy (2017):
After the violent clash between white supremacists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Trump was criticized for saying there were "very fine people on both sides." This statement was seen as equating white nationalists with anti-racist protesters.

10. NFL Protests (2017):
Trump criticized NFL players, particularly Black players, for kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality against Black Americans. He called for them to be fired and described the protests as disrespectful. Critics argued that this was an attempt to undermine the players' calls for racial justice.

.........

These incidents represent some of the most widely criticized remarks and actions Trump has taken that many view as racially insensitive, discriminatory, or outright racist. While Trump has denied being racist and has defended some of his statements, these events have sparked significant controversy and condemnation from various groups and individuals.

OH. ...I FORGOT ABOUT THE RACIST ANIMAL'S REFUSAL TO RENT HIS APARTMENTS TO BLACKS IN NEW YORK:

............


Donald Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, have faced allegations and legal actions related to discriminatory practices in housing, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s.

In 1973, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the Trump Organization, accusing it of discriminating against Black tenants and applicants for rental properties. The lawsuit was based on claims that the company had refused to rent apartments to Black individuals in their buildings in New York City, violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

Specifically, the lawsuit alleged that Trump and his father, Fred Trump, instructed employees to mark the applications of Black people with a "C" for "colored" to segregate them from white applicants. They were also accused of having their staff falsely claim that apartments were not available when Black applicants inquired about renting.

In 1975, the case was settled without admission of guilt, and the Trump Organization agreed to take steps to ensure compliance with fair housing laws.

Benin City, The Mighty Medieval Capital Now Lost Without Trace

Benin City was described as ‘wealthy and industrious, well-governed and richly decorated’. Illustration: Decompiling Dapper: A Preliminary Search for Evidence


Guardian Newspaper, UK

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace


With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’. So why is nothing left?

This is the story of a lost medieval city you’ve probably never heard about. Benin City, originally known as Edo, was once the capital of a pre-colonial African empire located in what is now southern Nigeria. The Benin empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in west Africa, dating back to the 11th century.

The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops [in Egypt]”.

Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages.

Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.

Barely any trace of these walls exist today.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.

African fractals

Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns.

As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.”


At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them. In the middle of the streets were turf on which animals fed.

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

Family houses were divided into three sections: the central part was the husband’s quarters, looking towards the road; to the left the wives’ quarters (oderie), and to the right the young men’s quarters (yekogbe).

Daily street life in Benin City might have consisted of large crowds going though even larger streets, with people colourfully dressed – some in white, others in yellow, blue or green – and the city captains acting as judges to resolve lawsuits, moderating debates in the numerous galleries, and arbitrating petty conflicts in the markets.

The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.
Re: Black Trump Supporters Mocked In USA As Trump Appoints NO BLACKS In His Cabinet by Napata77:
...ctd...

The city was split into 11 divisions, each a smaller replication of the king’s court, comprising a sprawling series of compounds containing accommodation, workshops and public buildings – interconnected by innumerable doors and passageways, all richly decorated with the art that made Benin famous. The city was literally covered in it.

The exterior walls of the courts and compounds were decorated with horizontal ridge designs (agben) and clay carvings portraying animals, warriors and other symbols of power – the carvings would create contrasting patterns in the strong sunlight. Natural objects (pebbles or pieces of mica) were also pressed into the wet clay, while in the palaces, pillars were covered with bronze plaques illustrating the victories and deeds of former kings and nobles.

At the height of its greatness in the 12th century – well before the start of the European Renaissance – the kings and nobles of Benin City patronised craftsmen and lavished them with gifts and wealth, in return for their depiction of the kings’ and dignitaries’ great exploits in intricate bronze sculptures.

“These works from Benin are equal to the very finest examples of European casting technique,” wrote Professor Felix von Luschan, formerly of the Berlin Ethnological Museum. “Benvenuto Celini could not have cast them better, nor could anyone else before or after him. Technically, these bronzes represent the very highest possible achievement.”

What impressed the first visiting Europeans most was the wealth, artistic beauty and magnificence of the city. Immediately European nations saw the opportunity to develop trade with the wealthy kingdom, importing ivory, palm oil and pepper – and exporting guns. At the beginning of the 16th century, word quickly spread around Europe about the beautiful African city, and new visitors flocked in from all parts of Europe, with ever glowing testimonies, recorded in numerous voyage notes and illustrations.

Lost world

Now, however, the great Benin City is lost to history. Its decline began in the 17th century, sparked by internal conflicts linked to the increasing European intrusion and slavery trade at the borders of the Benin empire.

Then in 1897, the city was destroyed by British soldiers – looted, blown up and burnt to the ground.

Donald Trump has faced numerous accusations of making racist statements and engaging in racist behavior throughout his public life, both before and during his presidency. Here are some of the key instances that have been widely discussed and criticized:

1. Central Park Five Case (1989)
In 1989, Trump took out full-page ads in four major New York City newspapers calling for the death penalty for five Black and Latino teenagers who were wrongfully convicted of raping a white woman in Central Park. Despite their exoneration in 2002, Trump continued to insist that the men were guilty.

2. Mexican Immigrants (2015)
During his presidential campaign announcement in June 2015, Trump referred to Mexican immigrants as "rapists" and criminals. He said, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best... they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists."

3. Charlottesville Comments (2017)
After the violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides," suggesting that some of the white supremacists were not entirely at fault for the violence.

4. Shithole Countries" (2018)
During a meeting with lawmakers, Trump reportedly referred to Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as “shithole countries,” implying that immigrants from these places were undesirable. The comment was widely condemned as racist.

5. Birtherism Campaign (2011-2016)
Trump was a leading figure in the birther movement, which falsely claimed that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States and therefore was not eligible to be president. This movement was widely seen as racially motivated, given that Obama is Black.

6. Muslim Ban (2017)
Shortly after taking office, Trump signed an executive order barring entry to the U.S. from several Muslim-majority countries. Critics decried the move as discriminatory and Islamophobic, particularly since no evidence supported the claim that individuals from these countries were more likely to commit acts of terrorism.

7. "Go Back to Your Country" (2019)
In a series of tweets, Trump told four Democratic congresswomen of color—Reps. Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib—to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came.” All four women were American citizens, and three were born in the U.S. This remark was widely condemned as racist.

8. Referring to Native American Senator Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas" (2016-2020):
Trump repeatedly referred to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas," mocking her claims of Native American heritage. Many viewed this as an insult to Native Americans, diminishing their history and culture.

9. The "Very Fine People" Controversy (2017):
After the violent clash between white supremacists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Trump was criticized for saying there were "very fine people on both sides." This statement was seen as equating white nationalists with anti-racist protesters.

10. NFL Protests (2017):
Trump criticized NFL players, particularly Black players, for kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality against Black Americans. He called for them to be fired and described the protests as disrespectful. Critics argued that this was an attempt to undermine the players' calls for racial justice.

.........

These incidents represent some of the most widely criticized remarks and actions Trump has taken that many view as racially insensitive, discriminatory, or outright racist. While Trump has denied being racist and has defended some of his statements, these events have sparked significant controversy and condemnation from various groups and individuals.

OH. ...I FORGOT ABOUT THE RACIST ANIMAL'S REFUSAL TO RENT HIS APARTMENTS TO BLACKS IN NEW YORK:

............


Donald Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, have faced allegations and legal actions related to discriminatory practices in housing, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s.

In 1973, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the Trump Organization, accusing it of discriminating against Black tenants and applicants for rental properties. The lawsuit was based on claims that the company had refused to rent apartments to Black individuals in their buildings in New York City, violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

Specifically, the lawsuit alleged that Trump and his father, Fred Trump, instructed employees to mark the applications of Black people with a "C" for "colored" to segregate them from white applicants. They were also accused of having their staff falsely claim that apartments were not available when Black applicants inquired about renting.

In 1975, the case was settled without admission of guilt, and the Trump Organization agreed to take steps to ensure compliance with fair housing laws.

Benin City, The Mighty Medieval Capital Now Lost Without Trace

Benin City was described as ‘wealthy and industrious, well-governed and richly decorated’. Illustration: Decompiling Dapper: A Preliminary Search for Evidence


Guardian Newspaper, UK

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace


With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’. So why is nothing left?

This is the story of a lost medieval city you’ve probably never heard about. Benin City, originally known as Edo, was once the capital of a pre-colonial African empire located in what is now southern Nigeria. The Benin empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in west Africa, dating back to the 11th century.

The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops [in Egypt]”.

Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages.

Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.

Barely any trace of these walls exist today.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.

African fractals

Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and

The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.
paris to benin city by road is 7k kilometres. But you want us to believe Benin wall was 16k kilometres. 🤡.

While others are building rockets, going to space, inventing new technologies. Africans are there creating nothing, with people like you getting excited over an old empire that is no longer relevant. No shame

It's funny how the DEMONcrats are doing everything in their power to console themselves about Kamala's devastating election loss grin. They still can't believe that Donald Trump won the election and that he did so in a LANDSLIDE!!!. He destroyed Kamala wotowoto. UPPERCUT GALORE!!!


He won both the popular and electoral college votes --- the first Republican candidate to do so since 1988. So in a desperate bid to mend their broken, weak, fragile hearts, the DEMONcrats are running around looking for who to offend.


They're so desperate for attention that they've now reduced themselves to prophets of doom, always mentioning Trump's supporters with their usual nonsense. 😆


I love watching them hide behind a facade of strength and multiple laughing emojis because I know that deep down, they're hurting like hell. The election loss still dey pain dem no be small. E never even start. They should get ready to cry for at least 8 more years because after Trump, JD Vance is taking over 🤣😂😆

Hahaha🤣 Look at these dimwit, low IQ scavengers!
They're trying to apply APC nickel and dime, "anywhere belle face" ideology to American politics😂
Blacks who voted for Trump are not begging for handouts and charity unlike you born losers who cannot live without quota systems and affirmative action.
Yes, we supported Trump and we do not regret it.
We will still support JD Vance when he runs in 2028, so prepare for another season of tears and foaming at the mouth😂

12% of the 50 million Black American population voted for the RACIST Trump, and now, to their chagrin, they've been given the COLD SHOULDER by the racist as we knew they would.

Now they feel so stupid, as the rest of black America LAUGHS at them for their stupidity in supporting a white RACIST.

They think Trump is gonna give them 'Biafra'.

Someone that detests non-white people, is somehow gonna go out of his way to 'give them Biafra'.

In fact our people can be so naive and ignorant.
You are suffering from CNNism. Being brainwashed by the democrats media and propaganda.

You are also publicly trusting political information from ChatGPT that is programed by democrats loving owners. You are being deceived.

Trump has not been inaugurated and you have wailed more liters of tears than the average Geepee Tank can accommodate. Look at this tribal warlord lamenting that Trump hasn't appointed a black person. More than 80% of blacks voted for Kamala even though Trump won more black votes than in 2016 and the highest since George Bush in 2000. You lament as if Nigeria is different. Look at Tinubu's appointments so far?! You go wail tire. The administration never start sef. You will wail till your tear glands become as dry as the Sahara Desert! I am glad Trump won so he teaches you lots how discrimination is.

A despicable Tribal Warlord lamenting about racism? You go wail tire! grin grin grin grin
