Trump C: "No racism before Obama in Office"

Donald Trump’s campaign chair in a prominent Ohio county has claimed there was “no racism” during the 1960s and said black people who have not succeeded over the past half-century only have themselves to blame.

If you’re black and you haven’t been successful in the last 50 years, it’s your own fault. You’ve had every opportunity, it was given to you,” she said.

“You’ve had the same schools everybody else went to. You had benefits to go to college that white kids didn’t have. You had all the advantages and didn’t take advantage of it. It’s not our fault, certainly.”

“I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected. We never had problems like this ... Now, with the people with the guns, and shooting up neighborhoods, and not being responsible citizens, that’s a big change, and I think that’s the philosophy that Obama has perpetuated on America.”

There's no doubting it: Trump's campaign is infiltrated by racists and white nationalists.

I always get a kick out of the GOP, especially Trump's people, when they blame Obama for how divided we all are right now. It's a bit like a bully punching a kid in the arm and when he starts to cry, he tells him "I only punched you because you're crying".

Whimsical bitch

Do we need any more reasons and receipts to label every Trump supporter a racist? 

Cant wait to see how the little tr(d)umpsters try to defend him this time.

..On Thursday, the Republican standard-bearer hit yet another stumbling block in his attempt to woo black voters when a chairwoman for the Trump campaign argued that there was “no racism” in America before Barack Obama and leveled that black Americans alone are responsible for the struggles they have faced. Within hours of making the inflammatory remarks, she resigned.

“I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected. We never had problems like this,” Kathy Miller, Trump’s campaign chair for Mahoning County, in the key battleground state of Ohio, told The Guardian during an interview Thursday. “Now, with the people with the guns and shooting up neighborhoods and not being responsible citizens—that’s a big change and I think that is the philosophy that Obama has perpetuated on America.”

Miller then went on to blame African Americans for any misfortunes that they have experienced. “If you’re black and you haven’t been successful for the last 50 years, it’s your own fault,” she said. “When do they take responsibility for how they live? I think it is due time and I think it is good that Mr. Trump is pointing that out,” Miller continued. The Guardian reports that the Trump campaign chairwoman also referred to the Black Lives Matter movement as a “stupid waste of time” and attributed low voter turnout among the black community to the “way they are raised.”

Hours later, Trump’s Ohio state director Bob Paduchikissued a statement announcing Miller’s resignation, which included an apology from the former county chairwoman.
