1) Trump himself is racist (see the article I posted above), and therefore at a minimum Trump supporter condone this behavior
2) I agree not all are racists, but disagree that it is a minority. It is a good chunk, but many may not even admit it to themselves, self- justifying their believes

2) Obama didnt insult all minorities, muslims, and mexicans

@WhyTrump
1) True Obama had to deal with racism like all people do, but he decided to deal with it by being racist against white people, as my link points out.
2) Trump didn't insult all minorities, Muslims, and Mexicans either
3) HuffPo is about as biased a source as can be found on the internet. Your link is nothing more than a political hit piece made up of distortions and unverifiable accounts. Of course HuffPo wouldn't do anything to undermine their guy, in fact they went out of their way to excuse almost all of Obama's many faults. That doesn't mean that examples of Obama's racism don't exist, as my link makes clear.
4) I have no idea what you are referring to, you'll have to be more specific.

1) that is very different, but I would say calling Obama racist is a stretch. Not sure if he loved white people, and he probably was a closet communist, but racist is too far.
2) whether open, hints, subtle messages, these minority groups got upset by his racially targeted comments. We can argue shade of his racist remarks, in a corporate environment for example someone would send him to HR.
3) Huff post is anti-Trump, I will give you that one. However, that doesnt mean all 13 examples are false
4) king article didn't mention Trump, but that is a good example of Right wing spectrum, and was clearly racist.
are you arguing that trump supporters are not more likely to be racist, or if not all of them are racist? I would argue that "most" are racist to some level.

1) I would say calling Trump a racist is a bridge too far.
2) Most minority groups, by definition, are racist groups
3) You are correct, they're not all false, some are simply inconsequential
4) I disagree, the King article demonstrates nothing more than King's thoughts and beliefs. Shall we also paint an entire party's beliefs with Sheila Jackson Lee's comments and say half the country doesn't know we haven't landed people on Mars yet, or that the Constitution is over 400 years old
Undoubtedly there are many more racists, and more active racists on the left than on the right. The right castigates and disavows their racists, the left embraces them.

Alright, let's break it down.
1. Muslim is not a race.
Muslim has never been a race, most likely never will be a race. To say that a stereotype of a "Religion" can be "Racist" is to suggest that all people of a particular religion are of one Race. So, you've suggested that it's possible to be Racist against Muslims so I counter with "What Race are Muslims"?
2. Mexican is not a race.
Mexican is a term that defines human beings who currently hold citizenship in Mexico. To say that a stereotype of a "Citizenship" can be "Racist" is to suggest that all people of a particular Nationality are of one Race. You've suggested that it's possible to be racist against Mexicans, so I counter with "What Race are Mexicans"?
I look forward to your response.
@ale5 ,
I respect your opinion on this matter however, I can't get behind your logic. What does Religion have to do with Race? I'm no scholar here but I can logically deduce the following:
1. A racist is: A person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/racist
2. Since a Muslims is a person who practices Islam in some way, shape or form...then in order to be considered a Racist for targeting Muslims then all Muslims must be one Race.
See the issue here? Calling something "Racist" when it's not even possible that it could be slightly Racist is the problem. The mainstream media has been feeding this stuff to people for so long that a good portion of our American Citizens have started buying into it. Calling people Nazis for disliking something that's cultural, calling people Racist for not being accepting of a person's religion or ideas...these are becoming normal things in our society.
~~~~This is not Racism~~~~ and any attempt to shrug it off like it's no big deal to improperly label something one of the worst terms in history is how most people respond:
"Oh well so it's not "Technically" racist but it's definitely not nice". ~ This is how people defend themselves for improperly calling someone a "Racist". Would you use the word "Genocide" to describe a single murder? Would you use the word "Furious" to describe someone who was "Annoyed" with something you said? Of course not...but for some reason it's perfectly acceptable and defensible to call someone a "Racist" when their attitude is bias at best and has nothing to do with Race.

I don't like Trump, everyone can agree that he's...not a very well spoken individual and most likely engages his Mouth long before he engages his brain. Is he harsh, yes. Is he abrasive, yep. Is he inappropriate, you bet. Racist though...no I'm afraid not.

I'm not sure about the KKK's rally calendar but I also don't see any relevance of their Rally dates to the Presidential election. Granted the KKK could easily be upping their Rallies but to suggest that a group's organized meetings are a direct result of the election of a U.S. President will require much more evidence than the existence of activity in a particular group.
I haven't personally seen any evidence of Racism from our current President and would challenge any and all contrary opinion holders to bring forth said evidence.
