@rafacopter94 and I found this little Lake Erie Water Snake reading a sign about himself at the Columbus Zoo.
When you say you’re the victim of abuse you are supposed to, by the common understanding, be able to bring up very specific episodes of that abuse in order to “prove its really abuse”.
But a lot of abuse just doesn’t work that way.
Sometimes they just wore you down constantly. Sometimes you couldn’t put your finger on it, but felt all of effects none-the-less. Sometimes its so plain awful that you’ve repressed it. Sometimes it was so damn insidious that you normalized it until one day years later you mention it and someone gives you a look of shock and you realize it wasn’t normal.
All of you. Any of you.
You are all just as valid as someone who wrote a whole damn memoir on the thing.
The stories coming out of this post are absolutely heartbreaking.
thank you for this post
His history of housing discrimination is the most blatant. His racist stereotyping of undocumented immigrants, muslims, his attacks on Obama saying he’s not a citizen all have racial undertones.
Probably can find some in our trumps America tag or just searching trump on here.

If they’re supporters then they’ve been following him so they already know they’re just sealioning.

“They are lying because they are jealous of Trump.”
So instead of just briefly listing every single reason Trump is a racist, and have it all be brushed off as fake news. I’m going to go into specific detail about why Trump is a racist.
Now the clearest example of Trump’s racism is a quote from the President of Trump’s Casinos.
Or when a Sound Technician on The Apprentice says Trump repeatedly called him a “Fucking Monkey.
After six other former contestants of The Apprentice blasted Trump as a racist and sexist.
And you could say they are just lying and risking their 20+ year reputation as veteran producers in the television industry in order to make up a claim that Trump is a racist except for the fact that the shows copyright holder and a close friend of Trump then goes on Twitter after they make that claim to threaten to “bankrupt” anyone through lawsuits who would leak unaired footage without President Trumps permission.(Not to deny that the footage exists, but say if you leak it you will be sued.
This is a lot like how when Trump’s wife accused him of rape and his lawyer didn’t say, “Trump didn’t rape her!” He said, “A husband cannot legally rape their spouse.”
But excluding less clear cut examples like when Trump fired a black contestant from the show for being over educated.) Or when Trump [literally wanted to make a season of the show where it was White People vs. Black People to prove once and for all which ones were better.
Ignoring all those, that’s still just 9 separate people from a single project Trump worked on saying he is racist.
The number gets a lot higher if you look at the whole picture. Like the former casino employees who claim all blacks were ordered to leave the casino floor in Atlantic City whenever Trump or wife arrived on the property.
Or the Beauty Pageant organizers who said Trump refuses to cast black models.
And these aren’t even getting into his actions from the campaign trail where at one rally he had 30 black college students and supporters ejected for no apparent reason.
Or when he picked a literal white supremacist as a delegate in California.
despite having previously mentioned David Duke by name over a decade earlier.
And despite the fact his father was arrested for attacking police at a Klan rally.
Just like he gave White Supremacists credentials and VIP seating at the GOP Convention.
But lets forget that all now because at this point the evidence is compounding to such a point that the idea that Trump isn’t a racist is becoming absurd. Any Trump supporters reading this can only think of so many bizarre excuses and justifications for the things I just described before they become angry and just declare it all fake news.
Let’s look at at a single set of examples. These ones being the ones that have legal precedent behind them.
In 1997 Trump was sued for refusing to hire black models, among other charges.
And we go could go into the specifics about each one of these cases and other cases like them that I didn’t mention but all of this is overshadowed by the first major story about Trump ever written. So let’s focus on that.
* A would be white people with good credit
* B would be white people with bad credit
* C would be non-whites.
Donald Trump told them to only consider applications from people in the A category.
Now you could always argue that for some reason the employees at every single one of the 39 Trump owned apartment were just racist and didn’t like black people on their own so they decided to break the law and potentially lose their jobs. And they just happen to come up with identical and oddly specific lies to implicate Trump as a racist and every single one of these employees were willing to commit perjury over these lies, and then for some reason two other Trump employees who didn’t even work at the apartments also for some reason came forward to falsely confirm their accounts.
And this argument might work if it was only this one time Trump had been accused of doing something racist. But the fact of the matter is this is just one of dozens of examples.
Let’s actually do the math on this:
* 41 employees who testified in 1973 that Trump refused to rent homes to black people,
* 36 employees who worked with the Urban League Investigators who testified in 1978 during another investigation and lawsuit about Trump refusing to hire black people.
* The black employees who said they were forced to leave the Casino floor when Trump and his wife arrived on the property
* One of Trumps assistants who warned Black Pageant Contestant Kamie Crawford in 2010 that, “Mr. Trump doesn’t like black people.”
* Trump’s ex-wife who says he is a racist.
* The over 50 Beauty Pageant contestant and Trump Modeling service employees who claimed Trump refused to hire black models.
* Jill Harth who claimed the same thing in 1997.
* The 20 black people from Gary Indiana denied jobs Trump promised them in their 1996 Lawsuit including the cities mayor.
* The 9 Apprentice crew members, (Not including the 30 Apprentice crew members who openly say Trump is a sexist.)
* The President of his Casino.
* The friend of the U.N Goodwill Ambassador.
That adds up to 164 people who personally know Trump that claimed was he a racist specifically against black people. (There is a whole separate list for accusations of racism involving Asians or Latinos or Native Americans.)
Now does the number seem a little low here? Well it should because **I’m only counting accusations of racism that occurred before Trump even ran for president.**
But you could always say that all of these people for some reason conspired over the period of 40 years to systematically accuse Trump of being a racist for no reason.
So let’s use Occam’s Razor. Who do we trust here? The U.N Goodwill Ambassadors and the Mayors and the Trump Employees and the Trump associates and his executives his ex wife and the Justice Department Investigators and all the 164 people?
Or Donald Trump a man who lied 400 times in his first 80 days a president. A man who literally lies about things he has said, that there is video of him saying,
What’s more likely? That Trump is a racist or that hundreds of well respected people decided to come together and risk their careers for no determinable reason or gain to accuse a failed casino owner of disliking black people?
For the Homophobia:
Tired of hearing folks say “but Trump is pro-LGBT!” everywhere on the internet? Me too. This is a non-exhaustive list detailing Trump to be an anti-LGBTQ candidate.
Trump signs a pledge to defend discrimination against LGBTQ people. This would permit discrimination even in medical emergencies.
Trump states that he wants to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court with someone “in the mold” of Scalia.The late Supreme Court Justice Scalia has had a long history of homophobia, such as saying that disallowing sodomy laws is discrimination against the poor, poor oppressed heterosexuals.
Trump vocally supported HB2. HB2 bars trans people who haven’t had their birth certificate amended from using the restroom of their gender and overrides all local ordinances that provide LGBT hiring and housing protections.
At the Republican National Convention Trump stated in allusion to Orlando that he would protect LGBTQ citizens from “a hateful foreign ideology.” Not only does this dishonestly characterize the motivation of the Orlando shooting but it specifically avoids condemning hateful domestic ideologies, ie that of his Republican colleagues.
Speaking of hateful domestic ideologies, the Log Cabin Republicans described the 2016 republican platform as the most anti-LGBT platform in the history of the party. It includes an amendment to ban same-sex marriage and legal protection of anti-LGBT conversion torture. An openly gay member of the RNC platform committee was driven to the point of tears by the party’s adamant refusal to let Obergefel v. Hodges lay as it is.
Trump’s top domestic policy advisor says that being gay is a lifestyle choice that can be changed.
And the sexism

Dozens of women who worked under Trump claim sexual harassment.
“She was married, I tried to fck her… I moved on her like a btch… When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p*ssy, you can do anything.” Actual Trump quote caught on audio in 2005.
Some assorted things Trump has said to or about women before.
“You wouldn’t have your job if you weren’t beautiful.”
“I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
“I bet you make a great wife.“
“I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I’m more honest and my women are more beautiful.”
“You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her — wherever. ”
“Heidi Klum. Sadly, she’s no longer a 10.”
“It must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees.”
“Her ass is too fat.”
“(Women) You have to treat ‘em like shit.”
(Trump said this right before pouring wine down the back of female investigative journalist Marie Brenners dress in 1992 as payback for her writing a negative story about him. He later bragged about the event.)
In case anyone needs this
And incidentally, speaking of that long history of stellar behavior…
it’s also fucked up that fat people literally fear going to the doctor for anything because they know the first thing out of their dr’s mouth no matter what their ailment is, is gonna be “lose weight lol” broken leg? lose weight. rash? lose weight. whooping cough? lose weight binch!!!!! like we get it. but can you just write my prescription you bitch so i can go eat a salad and not call you again until im about to die of the plague????
I would not be surprised if someone did a study and found an increase in misdiagnosis of fat patients due to doctors focusing solely on weight loss as a panacea and ignoring other vital issues
You mean like this article from the NY Times (from September of 2016) talking about how doctors refuse to consider non weight related issues until they absolutely have to?
Why Do Obese Patients Get Worse Care? Many Doctors Don’t See Past the Fat
Or this study showing that even though the bias is often unintentional it greatly changes patient care?

Or this study that showed that maternity providers have a bias towards obese women and often provide subpar care or push elective procedures?
