Since he moynted the Presidential<br \/>\n&gt; rostrum the accusations against him habe largely\u00a0 centred around<br \/>\n&gt; racism which may have been instigated by his overwhelming aversion for<br \/>\n&gt; immigrants of both Blacks and Hispanics in a Country almost known as<br \/>\n&gt; one of the few Rainbow nation&#8217;s in the World by virtue of the<br \/>\n&gt; historical contexts under which the different segments of the then<br \/>\n&gt; fragmented nation&#8217;s evolved into the United States of America after<br \/>\n&gt; many pre-independence battles\u00a0 that ended in 1776 on July 4th with the<br \/>\n&gt; proclamation of Independence (Lord May I be right!).<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; He has somewhat a pedigree of immigrant parentage by virtue of the<br \/>\n&gt; fact that his parents are described in one opinion article as part of<br \/>\n&gt; the broader Trump family originating from Germany. His mother, Mary<br \/>\n&gt; Anne MacLeod, came from the Hebridean Island of Lewis, off the West<br \/>\n&gt; coast of Scotland. He hails from a very illustrious background and<br \/>\n&gt; none of his fore fathers is known for ownership of black slaves or any<br \/>\n&gt; sort of slaves. So his background is profoundly non-racist.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; Business-wise just before venturing into politics, Donald Trump\u2019s<br \/>\n&gt; father was Fredrick Christ Trump (October 11, 1905 \u2013 June 15th 1999)<br \/>\n&gt; was said to be an American real-estate developer in New York City.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; His net worth was colossal and estimated to be between $250-300<br \/>\n&gt; million USD as at June 1999 at the much fulfilled age of 93. This<br \/>\n&gt; means that Donald Trump&#8217;s\u00a0 Dad must have been busy making legitimate<br \/>\n&gt; money and building an empire and had no time for the frivolity of<br \/>\n&gt; racism. The younger Trump who would later beat even reputable opinion<br \/>\n&gt; polls to become President of USA has the total DNA of his father in<br \/>\n&gt; the World of entrepreneurial spirit.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; This is because, he, Mr.Donald John Trump however before entering<br \/>\n&gt; politics was a businessman and television personality of note who<br \/>\n&gt; related and partnered many black sporting personalities.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; With his mouth Trump has said that he had fulfilling times doing<br \/>\n&gt; positive and constructive businesses with blacks and that amongst the<br \/>\n&gt; black people he respects includes Mike Tyson the former World boxing<br \/>\n&gt; Super heavyweight champion.\u00a0 Ben Carson the respected Brain Surgeon is<br \/>\n&gt; his political affiliate.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; He was born and raised in the rich New York City borough of Queens and<br \/>\n&gt; he is a proud holder of a good economics degree of the prestigious<br \/>\n&gt; Wharton school.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; Trump owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageantry from 1996<br \/>\n&gt; to 2015. Can you ever hold a beauty contests anywhere in the World<br \/>\n&gt; without blacks? Not at all. As I write, the person holding Miss USA<br \/>\n&gt; now is Miss Chelslie Kryst of North Carolina who was crowned on May 2,<br \/>\n&gt; 2019 at Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada. Currently God holds the<br \/>\n&gt; broadcast right for the Pageant. A Nigerian Miss Agbeni Darego won the<br \/>\n&gt; Miss World beauty pageant in 2001.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; Trump reportedly produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality<br \/>\n&gt; television show, from 2003 to 2015. He is a man of considerable<br \/>\n&gt; financial means which in the estimation of Forbes, could be anywhere<br \/>\n&gt; around $3.1 billion USD. This makes Donald Trump a remarkable achiever<br \/>\n&gt; Son of a very prosperous father.\u00a0 So you can say with Donald Trump\u00a0 he<br \/>\n&gt; is &#8216;like farher, like Son&#8217; defined by busibess successes. His<br \/>\n&gt; fundamental departure from his Dad is the heated debates un political<br \/>\n&gt; circles if he can be termed appropriately as a racist. Trump who made<br \/>\n&gt; money in the media industry is however hated by the media and he too<br \/>\n&gt; serms to hate the media passionately going by his cynicism of branding<br \/>\n&gt; most World&#8217;s media as purveyors of fake news. So a check in the media<br \/>\n&gt; will nearly tellingly convince you that Donald Trump is a racist. We<br \/>\n&gt; will analyse those media contents before we draw the curtain to this<br \/>\n&gt; brief reflection which is motivated by the deadly mass shootings in<br \/>\n&gt; USA targeting immigrants in which over 50 persons were gruesomely<br \/>\n&gt; murdered by White Supremacists.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; Historically, it was recorded that the grand Dad of Trump who was a<br \/>\n&gt; German city named Mr. Frederick Trump (born Friedrich Trump; 14th<br \/>\n&gt; March 1869 \u2013 30th May 1918) was a German American businessman and<br \/>\n&gt; the patriarch of the Trump family.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; Born in Kallstadst, in the kingdom of Bavaria (now in<br \/>\n&gt; Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany). Trump\u2019s grand father aforementioned<br \/>\n&gt; had come to the USA at the age of 16 and started working as a barber<br \/>\n&gt; just as it was reported by historians that he Anglicized his name to<br \/>\n&gt; Frederick in 1893 when he became a United States citizen.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; Although Donald Trump has stated his metropolitan outlook and his<br \/>\n&gt; rejection of the appellation of a racist and a supporter of a white<br \/>\n&gt; supremacist, there are insinuations accusing him of being a racist.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; Although he, Donald Trump claims to have had a robust business<br \/>\n&gt; affiliations with some blacks and especially sportsmen, but his<br \/>\n&gt; largest critics have come from black sportsmen who think he is a<br \/>\n&gt; racist. Added to these accusations, is the review by the associated<br \/>\n&gt; press which found out that there are few, if any, black executives in<br \/>\n&gt; the upper ranks of the Trump organization.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; CBC news of June 16th 2016 reported that erstwhile executives of Trump<br \/>\n&gt; organization say they could not recall a single black vice<br \/>\n&gt; president-level executive at Trump\u2019s headquarters during their<br \/>\n&gt; combined tenures at the Trump organization LLC, which ranged from 1980<br \/>\n&gt; to late in the past decade prior to 2016.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; A peep at Trump\u2019s cabinet during his first ever cabinet level<br \/>\n&gt; meeting on March 13th following his inauguration shows only just a few<br \/>\n&gt; black Americans or Hispanics including Dr Ben Carson who he made the<br \/>\n&gt; Housing secretary because he believed that black dominated townships<br \/>\n&gt; are in dire need of new housing infrastructures but he is yet to<br \/>\n&gt; deliver on this ground.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; The Guardian of Britain in a report done around December 2017 on<br \/>\n&gt; Omorosa\u2019s exit stated that it highlighted the lack of diversity at<br \/>\n&gt; Trump\u2019s White house.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; And I then ask, does it mean then that Trump\u2019s White House is<br \/>\n&gt; dominated by whites in the White House?<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; The Guardian appeared to have answered my question in the affirmative<br \/>\n&gt; when it affirmed as follows: \u201cThe departure of the former Apprentice<br \/>\n&gt; contestant Omarosa Manigault-Newman from the White House this week has<br \/>\n&gt; placed the lack of diversity in Donald Trump\u2019s administration under<br \/>\n&gt; renewed scrutiny\u201d.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; She even criticized Trump by accusing him of surrounding himself with<br \/>\n&gt; whites who have never worked with blacks.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; Trump\u2019s heightened rhetoric against immigrants and his vitriolic<br \/>\n&gt; against blacks and Hispanics have combined to make his adversaries in<br \/>\n&gt; the Democratic Party to increase their political accusations that he<br \/>\n&gt; is a racist. He recently charged at some blacks in the Congress whom<br \/>\n&gt; he asked to return to their original homelands if they are unhappy<br \/>\n&gt; with the status quo in USA.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; But Trump seems not to have helped himself by way of his unrelenting<br \/>\n&gt; tweets on the themes of immigration and his alleged attack of Africa<br \/>\n&gt; as a continent of &#8216;shithole&#8217; countries. He also singled out the black<br \/>\n&gt; neighbourhoods of Baltimore for attack as a squallor of drugs and<br \/>\n&gt; violent crimes. One of his most trenchant critics in the Congress is a<br \/>\n&gt; black man who represents Baltimore. His many media battles were still<br \/>\n&gt; raging when the unthinkable happened which are the two most recent<br \/>\n&gt; deadliest mass shootings in US history but this time around only<br \/>\n&gt; immigrants were targeted by the ruthless extremists who from all<br \/>\n&gt; indications are White Supremacists.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; Interestingly, the two recent mass shootings that affected mostly<br \/>\n&gt; immigrants in Texas have completely reinforced the allegations that<br \/>\n&gt; Donald Trump is a racist and a white supremacist.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; He however partly deflated these unprecedented echoes of accusations<br \/>\n&gt; of racism by directly condemning extremism and white supremacy. Trump<br \/>\n&gt; blamed the internet for poisoning the minds of these evil attackers.<br \/>\n&gt; He also visited the scenes of the shootings and promised to speak in<br \/>\n&gt; favour of introducing legislations to modify gun ownership. However,<br \/>\n&gt; the National Riffle Association which is a powerful lobby cautioned<br \/>\n&gt; him against backing any reform of gun ownership laws that permits<br \/>\n&gt; comprehensive background checks for prospective gun owners in USA.\u00a0 A<br \/>\n&gt; good number of parliamentarians were sponsored by this powerful gun<br \/>\n&gt; ownership lobby group.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; Trump during his visits to the scenes of the bloody mass shootings was<br \/>\n&gt; quickly reminded that he too has played a role by stoking the flames<br \/>\n&gt; of hatred for immigrants through his unrelenting tweets and political<br \/>\n&gt; speeches. His media fight with the representatives of Baltimore has<br \/>\n&gt; not helped matters.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; An analysts stated that if you ask President Donald Trump if he<br \/>\n&gt; believes that he is an unrepentant racist, he would inevitably respond<br \/>\n&gt; that he isn\u2019t racist.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; The reporter apparently doesn&#8217;t\u00a0 believe him going by what he wrote<br \/>\n&gt; that to the contrary, he\u2019s repeatedly said that he\u2019s \u201cthe least<br \/>\n&gt; racist person that you\u2019ve ever encountered.\u201d<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; The analyst who thinks otherwise says that Trump\u2019s actual record,<br \/>\n&gt; however, tells a very different story. On the campaign trail, Trump<br \/>\n&gt; repeatedly made explicitly racist and otherwise bigoted remarks, from<br \/>\n&gt; calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists to proposing a ban on<br \/>\n&gt; all Muslims entering the US to suggesting a judge should recuse<br \/>\n&gt; himself from a case solely because of the judge\u2019s Mexican heritage.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; The trend has continued into his presidency, the reporter noted.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; &#8220;From stereotyping a black reporter to pandering to white supremacists<br \/>\n&gt; after they held a violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, to<br \/>\n&gt; cracking a joke about the Trail of Tears, Trump hasn\u2019t stopped with<br \/>\n&gt; the racist acts after his 2016 election.&#8221;<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; The writer recalled that most recently, Trump tweeted that several<br \/>\n&gt; black and brown members of Congress are \u201cfrom countries whose<br \/>\n&gt; governments are a complete and total catastrophe\u201d and that they<br \/>\n&gt; should \u201cgo back\u201d to those countries.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; The tweets, aimed at Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna<br \/>\n&gt; Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI),<br \/>\n&gt; exemplify a common racist trope used against immigrants and minority<br \/>\n&gt; groups who criticize US policies, the writer observed.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; The reporter then reminds us that Democrats, including House Speaker<br \/>\n&gt; Nancy Pelosi, condemned Trump\u2019s tweets as racist.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; This the writer says is nothing new for Trump. In fact, the very first<br \/>\n&gt; time that Trump appeared in the pages of the New York Times, back in<br \/>\n&gt; the 1970s, was when the US Department of Justice sued him for racial<br \/>\n&gt; discrimination. Since then, he has repeatedly appeared in newspaper<br \/>\n&gt; pages across the world as he inspired more similar controversies.<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; &#8220;This long history is important. It would be one thing if Trump simply<br \/>\n&gt; misspoke one or two times. But when you take all of Trump\u2019s actions<br \/>\n&gt; and comments together, a clear pattern emerges \u2014 one that suggests<br \/>\n&gt; that bigotry is not just political opportunism on Trump\u2019s part but a<br \/>\n&gt; real element of Trump\u2019s personality, character, and career&#8221;, (see<br \/>\n&gt; GERMAN LOPEZ@GERMANRLOPEZGERMAN.LOPEZ<wbr \/>@<a href=\"http:\/\/vox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/VOX.COM&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1565470071169000&amp;usg=AFQjCNF5USj8SmPgDr3HbH5G4_cURwXEnw\">VOX.COM<\/a>\u00a0[1]\u00a0 UPDATED JUL 15,<br \/>\n&gt;
