Read this today. Though it was just.
Stop saying. “I support Trump, but I’m not a racist.”

When you support and enable a racist, that makes you a racist, regardless of how you personally feel about (or even behave towards) others.

(Feel free to insert “misogynist” and “homophobe” for “racist” while you’re at it.)

The key word is "but." Saying "I support Der Trumpf" means the person upholds all the dark and vile principles he stands for. Trying to whitewash it with a casual "but" is a weak attempt to squirm away from the truth, as if it's possible to be a decent and upright supporter of a racist, misogynist, inhumane child hating monster, as well as a self-absorbed, tin plated, goose stepping, megalomaniac spineless tyrant with an IQ that wouldn't scare a head of lettuce.

In a way, you're actually worse. You're an enabler, which means that you support the ideologies and agendas of these types of individuals but don't have the motivation or onions to carry them out yourself. So not only are you a racist, or a misogynist, or a homophobe, you're a lazy coward as well.

Fuhrer Trump is a Nazi Racist along with everyone that supports him.

TRUE!

Anyone can be a racist. In America the most racist appear to be certain white men who appear to believe they came from some "pure like" gene somewhere. Maybe they were home schooled.

As for me, I'm not concerned with show animals of any kind or how they have been bred. I carry that idea right on into humans as well.

In my experience, when people feel the need to include “I’m not a racist...or homophobe...or misogynist , but....” in any sentence, it is the best indicator that they are!

Even if you claim that you are not a racist, if you support Trump, you are demonstrating that you are okay with racism.

You forgot Nazi. 🙂

To not speak out against such injustices as racism, misogyny, or multiple phobias is to give tacit consent. To give tacit consent knowingly makes you guilty of the same sins, regardless of what you tell yourself, or how you rationalize it away.

That pretty much hits the nail on the head.
