President Trump on Tuesday dismissed allegations that he is a racist, telling CSPAN in an interview that the word is "overused" even as he continues to deploy it against his critics."I think the word has really gone down a long way because everybody’s called a racist now," Trump said."The word is so overused. It’s such a disgrace," he continued. "And I can tell you I’m the least racist person there is in the world, as far as I’m concerned.""They use it almost when they run out of things to criticize you they say, ‘he’s a racist,'" Trump said, noting in some cases it's accurate to describe someone using the term.

The term is massively overused, and used when it is clearly not the truth.
The term is nearly neutered now.

The dart has lost its poison so go ahead and shoot. The real racists will stumble all over themselves trying to find something else that works.

Clearly - - Trump is a racist for saying that he's not a racist.
And I'm a racist for saying that Trump is a racist when he says he's not a racist.
And you're a racist for reading that I wrote that I'm a racist for saying that Trump is a racist when he says he's not a racist.
What could be more obvious?

He did not “tell them to go back...”. He asked a question (check it out for yourself). There was no “ we should “ or anything about “sending”, either.
This is getting as bad as Charlottesville’s “good people on both sides” misquote.

The Left has been pushing the "All Whites are racist" meme for a while now. White privilege and all that. The best that I can figure is that white Europeans, mostly, started this Country and they set it up using the rules of civilization that they found had worked for them in the countries of their origins. Now, it seems like some minorities don't like some of those rules, i.e. laws, even though they apply to everyone equally. Supposedly it was our "privilege" to establish things and that, in and of itself, is a disadvantage to them. Yet, many minorities have been yugely successful and happy under the same rules. It's unclear if those successful minorities somehow "caught" the privilege?
In the broader word, America's sense of fairness and protection for the weaker nations seems to be appreciated. When BO withdrew from world leadership because the US wasn't so great, the world cried out for US re engagement (except for the bullies).
We are one of the most open societies in the world. There certainly are some racists among us. For the most part, they are unappreciated. There are fewer every generation. Racism as a general cry is very foolish and has become meaningless. There are some intelligent activists that are trying to address the problems of different races in the US. Almost all of them are not chasing "racism" as the most important problem they face and they know Trump isn't a racist.
It's great that Trump is confronting this issue head on. We can do nothing effective until the name calling stops.

Blacks are racist when they try to separate their babies from normal society by giving them names with weird combinations of letters. Whatever happened to Jim, George, Mary and Jane? XZMRPWO, etc. are definitely separation names!!!

Being called a racist by a liberal is like being called a poopyhead by a 5 year old. It is all they have,

They will soon have Trump-is-a-Racist clubs, using CNN and MSNBC as prototypes.

Thanks to the left, everyone has been called a racist at one point or another.
The left will rue the day they politicized racism, sexism, and other forms of hate. They have made the problem worse instead of better because they have shown preferential treatment to some groups. You cannot look the other way in some cases while condemning others.

Raycist is just another dog-whistle used by the leftards, in addition to sexist and homophobe, to signal that someone disagrees with their idiotic opinions and ideas. They are simply NPCs. They have no ability to think, just feel, and parrot talking points with which they've been indoctrinated, so they get laughed at and their ideas and opinions ignored frequently by intelligent people. Thus all the 'raycist', 'sexist', 'homophobe' screaming that we hear more and more often.
That doesn't make them any less dangerous. They are domestic enemies of the constitution and the Republic.

Clearly President Trump is right again. Just about every time a leftist and liberal Democrat pops up on TV these days, at some point during the Democrat’s conversation he or she will mention racial, ethnic, gender, or some other sort of invented discrimination, and make an unsupported claim, with no credible evidence, that some Republican is a racist because he or she does not support the Democrat socialist political agenda.

You might be called a racist, if you say anything that goes against what a liberal demonrat socialist says....
