''Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money.....

....are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.''

Hillary, if John ODonnell is alive, you'd BETTER have him there next week.

he's the source of the OP quote, in full here. the entirety is even worse than the snippet:


“I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza — black guys counting my money!” O’Donnell’s book quoted Trump as saying. “I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else. .?.?. Besides that, I’ve got to tell you something else. I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is; I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”


where are the foooking MEDIA on quotes like this, and I'm talking TV. if it's not on TV, it didn't happen

2. “I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks.”
Fri Jul 22, 2016, 02:35 PM
Jul 2016
“A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. I think sometimes a black may think they don’t have an advantage or this and that... I’ve said on one occasion, even about myself, if I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I believe they do have an actual advantage.’’

“I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks.”

“And if you look at black and African American youth, to a point where they’ve never done more poorly. There’s no spirit.”

“And, you know, I have a great relationship with African Americans, as you possibly have heard. I just have great respect for them and you know they like me.”



check the polls lately, doofus?

them, dehumanize them. gee, where did that happen before?

now. for.....the classic:

When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best...They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists.”


then this

"I'll take jobs back from China, I'll take jobs back from Japan," Trump said. "The Hispanics are going to get those jobs, and they're going to love Trump."

6. Trump: "Ask THE Gays"
Fri Jul 22, 2016, 03:11 PM
Jul 2016


“Ask the gays what they think and what they do, in, not only Saudi Arabia, but many of these countries, and then you tell me — who’s your friend, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?”

Almost immediately, the Twitterverse jumped on the phrase — “ask the gays” — and turned it into a viral hashtag, with the LGBT community responding with unequivocal sass, in the form of animated GIFs and video clips.

In a speech in Washington to the Republican Jewish Coalition last December, Trump appears to traffic in stereotypes about Jews.

“You’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money,” he told the Jewish audience. He also says, “Is there anyone in this room who doesn’t negotiate deals? Probably more than any room I’ve ever spoken.”

12. Trump goes full Anti-semite in Hillary Star-of-David tweet.
Fri Jul 22, 2016, 05:47 PM
Jul 2016
“Note that Trump is using a Star of David to brand Clinton as corrupt. That's not a dog whistle. That's a megaphone,” wrote Stirling McLaughlin.

“Classic @realDonaldTrump. First appease anti-Semitic white supremacists, then pretend it never happened,” added Michael Skolnick, with the hashtag #StarofDavid.

The initial tweet, with the tagline, “Crooked Hillary -- Makes History!” — soon disappeared from Trump’s twitter timeline.

But it continued to circulate as outraged users shared screenshots of the initial tweet on social media.

On “Face the Nation,” John Dickerson asked whether a Muslim judge would also be biased based simply on religion.

“It’s possible, yes,” Trump said. “Yeah. That would be possible, absolutely.”

When Dickerson asked, “Isn’t there sort of a tradition, though, in America that we don’t judge people by who their parents were and where they came from?” Trump replied with 11 words that glossed over the entire reason my great-grandparents — and perhaps yours too, reader — came to America:

“I’m not talking about tradition. I’m talking about common sense, OK?”

19. This was the way people talked for years - exactly the way my now-deceased grandmother used to
Sun Jul 24, 2016, 10:30 AM
Jul 2016

talk about people. She was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1909. She would never admit she was racist or bigoted, but her first question about someone would be, "What nationality are you?" You could never be American, always had to go back to where "your people" were from. Her own parents were from Italy and experienced bigotry, but of course, why learn from that experience? Years, later, when my mom and dad moved out of Brooklyn to Long Island, a neighbor lamented that "dirty Italians" were moving in across the street.

Somehow, my own mother wasn't racist or bigoted - and she was a registered Democrat. My father didn't appear to be racist until he started watching Fox News, and while he's not overtly racist, he's nonetheless racist. Hates Obama, we don't talk politics. Talks about "the Orientals" next door. Oh, the horror - they're all med students, for crying out loud. Yeah, ruined the neighborhood.

Getting back to my grandmother, she used to say, "We have everything in our family. We even have a Black" (her nephew's wife). We'd all cringe.

The cycle was broken with my mother, me, and my brothers.

with brian lamb.

her default word was the 'coloreds,' or 'colored people.' every time she said it, I'd ask, what color, gram? purple, green? we'd laugh about it sometimes, but at others, she would get various shades of pissed, and occasionally, go ballistic: 'YOU know what I mean....the N*****S!'

she finally started to mellow in the last few years, even to the point of realizing what a grand spoof the catholic church really is. this, from a woman who had a priest come to our place every week for about 20 years.
she started to question the existence of god.

I never let her off with the colored people thing.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/19/politics/donald-trump-muslims-controversy/

from this:

Urbandale, Iowa (CNN) — Donald Trump on Saturday responded to a question from CNN about whether Muslims pose a danger to the country.
...........................
..........a supporter stated that Obama was a Muslim and not American -- which Trump did not correct -- and asked the candidate how he plans to "get rid of" Muslim "training camps" in the country.

"We're going to be looking at a lot of different things," Trump responded. "You know, a lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening."


what is he trying to say/not say in that last paragraph?

and did you notice that NOT one of his business partners, except that billionaire (did he ever do business with him, or is he just one of his sleazy pals? he sure looked the part), was up there, praising his honesty, his acumen, his foresight, his good judgment

can't copy anything, but the first instance was about his refusal to rent to AfAms, resulting in his hiring of Roy Cohn to sue the government, defaming many of the govt attorneys

the judge threw it out, calling it a 'waste of paper.' this was in like 73, so he wasn't even thirty. the pattern had been established

probably most in there is familiar, as was this first bit, but it's a good repository of his slimy racism
