In Case You Forgot: Donald Trump’s Racist Record

In Case You Forgot: Donald Trump’s Racist Record

The following is a statement from Biden-Harris 2024 Black Media Director Jasmine Harris ahead of Donald Trump’s Speaking engagement at a Black conservative gala in Columbia, South Carolina:

“The audacity of Donald Trump to speak to a room full of Black voters during Black History Month as if he isn’t the proud poster boy for modern racism. This is the same man who falsely accused the Central Park 5, questioned George Floyds humanity, compared his own impeachment trial to being lynched, and ensured the unemployment gap for Black workers spiked during his presidency.

“Donald Trump has been showing Black Americans his true colors for years: An incompetent, anti-Black tyrant who holds us to such low regard that he publicly dined with white nationalists a week after declaring his 2024 candidacy.

“Come November, no matter how many disingenuous voter engagement events he attends, Black Americans will show Donald Trump we know exactly who he is.”

Here’s what you need to know about Donald Trump’s record:

• Under Trump, the Black unemployment rate and uninsured rate went up.
• Trump’s tax scam reinforced discrimination – the typical white household got double the cut of a typical Black household.
• His botched COVID-19 response, disproportionately left Black people dead and Black-owned businesses shuttered.
• He pushed to bring back stop and frisk.
• And let’s never forget who Trump is:
• Falsely accused Central Park Five.
  • Founder of Birtherism.
  • Tried to repeal Obama’s signature achievement: ACA.
  • Opposed the removal of Confederate monuments.
  • Proudly claimed that there were very fine people present at the white supremacist protests in Charlottesville.
  • Refused to condemn the KKK.
• Now he’s promising to do even more damage to Black families every chance he gets if he regains power. We should take him at his word.
