"SNIP......

President Trump says America will be done with “bigotry and prejudice” before we know it, The Week reports.

Trump traveled to Dallas for a roundtable on race and policing, though didn’t invite the top three law enforcement officials in the area, all of whom are black.

Trump defended police departments and offered up an executive order that he said will help repair America’s centuries of racism “very quickly and very easily.”

I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks. Oh, look at my African American over here. Look at him.

Nobody has ever done for the black community what President Trump has done. My Admin has done more for the Black Community than any President since Abraham Lincoln. George [Floyd] is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that is happening for our country. A great day for him.

Diamond and Silk, you’re so, so great. Thank you, Kanye, thank you. Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice.

Think of this: Blacks for Trump, Black Voices for Trump, African Americans for Trump. Call it whatever the hell you want. I have a group of African American guys and gals, by the way, that follow me around, and they think I pay them and I don’t.

A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. If I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I believe they do have an actual advantage. Sadly, because President Obama has done such a poor job as president, you won’t see another black president for generations!

To the African American community, I say what the hell do you have to lose? You’re living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs. Fifty-eight percent of your youth is unemployed. Last in crime, last in this, last in homeownership, last in the economy, lowest wages. Our inner cities are a disaster. You get shot walking to the store. They have no education, they have no jobs.

Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, “Get that son of a bitch off the field right now”?

Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States? No human being would want to live there. A disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested).

So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came?

Why do we need more Haitians? Why are we having people from all these shithole countries come here? We should have more people from places like Norway.

An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that @BarackObama’s birth certificate is a fraud. His grandmother in Kenya said, “Oh, no, he was born in Kenya.” A lot of people do not think it was an authentic certificate.

You ever see Maxine Waters? A low-IQ individual. LeBron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made LeBron look smart, which isn’t easy to do.

What has happened to the respect for authority, the fear of retribution by the courts, society and the police? Let our politicians give back our police department’s power to keep us safe. Unshackle them from the constant chant of “police brutality.” BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY AND BRING BACK OUR POLICE!

You also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park, from Robert E. Lee to another name. Robert E. Lee was a great general. They’re trying to take away our culture. A Great American Heritage.

I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here — a lynching. I am the least racist person that you’ve ever encountered. I don’t have a Racist bone in my body!

He will open the Death Camps....anybody here see The Man in the High Castle? Interestingly, there are only a few references to the fact that there are no people of color or Jews remaining east of the neutral zone. They went to the camps. It’s a matter of course that this occurred.

Nothing would shock me with this lunatic. He didn’t say that he’d reconcile the differences among people’s. No. He said he’d remove racism. How he’d do it is anybody’s guess, none of them palatable.

No more racism.

I think he's thinking more in terms of a final solution
than a workable solution that includes everyone.

If it were possible to do this very quickly and very easily, then having not done so yet is a willful act, and he's responsible for the persistence of racism. By his own admission, it is all his fault.

an executive order that he said will help repair America’s centuries of racism “very quickly and very easily.”

a nationwide hell worldwide movement is underway to break the chains of racism from our culture, and fatnixon wants to repair it?

That sounds to me like he wants to eliminate what he considers to be the source of the problem.

And it's not the cops, the Klan or the MAGAts. Be very afraid.

I know he's stupid, but he can't be so stupid that he thinks that the centuries-long issue of racism in this country is just going get better overnight and racists will suddenly change their hateful ways.

To me his "code speak" means that he plans to use force to keep "those people" in line. He doesn't plan on asking his followers to change a thing about themselves.

in his new Executive Order might be, since he apparently hasn't spilled the secret.

Trump traveled to Dallas for a roundtable on race and policing, though didn’t invite the top three law enforcement officials in the area, all of whom are black.
...not to mention that two of the three are also women, and Chump hates strong women.
