Donald Trump is NOT a Racist: Change my Mind

1: It is a hyperlink from the source- https://www. Nytimes. Com/2016/07/24/opinion/sunday/is-donald-trump-a-racist. Html 2: This is the paragraph- "Trump treated black employees at his casinos differently from whites, According to multiple sources. A former hotel executive said Trump criticized a black accountant: "Black guys counting my money! I hate it. " I think that the guy is lazy. And it"s probably not his fault, Because laziness is a trait in blacks. "" This could mean multiple sources reported on essentially the same thing, One person claiming trump said that. This article also fails to provide links to those other "multiple sources, " questioning the credibility of the claim. 3: First of all, I was primarily talking about Haiti, Which is the main country trump and lawmakers were talking about. One person said he also said Africans, Which, Even if it is true, Is not just Nigerians, But rather all of Africa. Again, Trump denied the comment, And there were people on both sides of the situation. All Trump said, According to his tweet, Was that Haiti was a poor and troubled country. It was probably democrats that lied because they wanted to give leverage to the whole racist Trump thing. 4: The White House strongly denied the use of those words, And several people at the meeting did not recall him saying the alleged words. Only two people accused Trump of saying that, And I highly doubt he did. 5: Since you failed to provide a link about the actual comment and the whole story, I did some research myself. The judge is of Mexican heritage, It doesn't matter if he was born India. Just because Ted Cruz was born in Canada does not mean he is not American. Trump thought he was giving his case an unfair ruling because he thought the judge was biased because he is Mexican, And does not want the border wall. Trump said he was not being racist and respects the judge's heritage, But wouldn't back down building the wall. Here is the interview- https://www. Cnn. Com/2018/02/27/politics/judge-curiel-trump-border-wall/index. Html 6: In a 2000 interview, He called David Duke a racist. In more recent interviews, He has said he doesn't know much about white supremacy or David Duke, And that he disavowed David Dukes support. Not quite sure what you are talking about. (https://www. Washingtonpost. Com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/03/01/donald-trump-and-david-duke-for-the-record/? Noredirect=on&utm_term=. 96d012249aa6) 7: It has nothing to do with the website. I went to the source of info(hyperlink) in the article, And it redirected to the newyorker. Com. First off, This was 40 years ago. People can change. Second off, This claim is by one person who thinks he recalls instances like this when he was a teenager. Who knows the credibility of this claim, It could be completely made up. One person claiming an extremely racist thing is not enough to determine the credibility of it in my opinion. Disregard the last sentence of my previous argument. I meant to backspace it :)
Donald Trump is NOT a Racist: Change my Mind

1: I don"t think the NY times said that. I "CTRL Found" it and I didn"t find anything. 2: Similar claims have been mad by multiple people according to the article. I quote, "Trump treated black employees at his casinos differently from whites, According to multiple sources. ". The cite is the NY times article. So it wasn't just one angry person at Trump, But rather, Multiple people. 3: Here my opponent says the inconsistency is because Norwegians tend to be richer than Nigerians. However, Nigerian Americans aren"t that poor. Https://en. Wikipedia. Org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income states that the average GDP per capita of a Nigerian-American is over $60, 000. To put that into perspective, It"s more than the national average and almost as much as Whites, The richest ethnicity based on geography. Doesn"t sound like people that Trump would want to keep out of the USA. 4: I found it at Source 2. 5: I found it at Source 3. 6: If Donald Trump does not support the KKK, Then why would he appoint David Duke and Steve Bannon to positions? 7: It"s a quote from the Guardian. While they have some bias, Https://mediabiasfactcheck. Com/the-guardian/ states that their bias is only left center and their factual reporting is high. Thanks for the compliment. I don"t know what 30-40 means. https://en. Wikipedia. Org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income https://mediabiasfactcheck. Com/the-guardian/
Donald Trump is NOT a Racist: Change my Mind

1: This is a quote from the source of your claim- "In fairness, Those suits date from long ago[1970], And the discriminatory policies were probably put in place not by Donald Trump but by his father. Fred Trump appears to have been arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally in 1927; Woody Guthrie, Who lived in a Trump property in the 1950s, Lambasted Fred Trump in recently discovered papers for stirring racial hatred. " 2: This is an unverified claim by someone who says they heard trump say that. He denied the comment, So who knows if its true. 3: Donald denied this comment and other people in the meeting said they do not recall it. He said in a tweet he thinks it is a poor and troubled country, Which does not have to do with race, But the conditions of the country and the conditions of people in the country. Quote from cited article- "That is why Trump invoked Norwegians as "good" immigrants Thursday, In contrast to the Haitians and Africans. More than 80% of Norwegians are white, But they are also from a "developed" European country with -- in Trump's eyes -- the manners and attributes to be worthy. " This explains why he said he wants Norwegians. 4: Looked at source 2 and 3, Could not find anything. Source Please? Maybe I missed it. 5: There was no source of the comment within the article. Please cite source. 6: This was a KKK member saying this. There is nothing to suggest he was referring to white supremacy, But rather the overall concept of country safety. Trump did not say he agreed with the KKK ever. 7: Again, Just a quote from A person. No credibility to it, And I love how you are citing sources 30-40
Donald Trump is NOT a Racist: Change my Mind

7 racist things Donald trump said: 1: Trump"s real-estate company tried to avoid renting apartments to African-Americans. (01) 2: Quote from Donald Trump: "Black guys counting my money! I hate it. " I think that the guy is lazy. And it"s probably not his fault, Because laziness is a trait in blacks. "(01) 3: Donald Trump called black majority countries like Haiti and Nigeria, "S*** hole countries" (02). He wants more immigrants from places like Norway, Because Norwegians are caucasian. Why else would he want Norwegian immigrants and not Haitian ones, Or Nigerian ones? 4: Donald Trump said, "all Haitians "have AIDS" and that Nigerians don't want to go back to their "huts. "" This reinforces stereotypes that Hatians have AIDS and that Nigerians/Africans are poor. 5: Trump accused Judge Gonzalo Curiel of not being able to do his job because he is a "Mexican. " He was born in Indiana. (03) 6: The KKK said, ""The reason a lot of Klan members like Donald Trump is because a lot of what he believes, We believe in. ""(04) 7: The Guardian states, ""When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, The bosses would order all the black people off the floor, ""(05). This might have been due to Trump telling his employees to get the racial minorities out of the casino. I await your response and good luck. Sources: 01:https://www. Nytimes.

Donald Trump is NOT a Racist: Change my Mind

There were some non RINO republicans that said he is a racist. An example of a racist policy was when Donald Trump didn"t let people rent apartments even though they could afford it because they were blacks. I trust whoever I believe is right. Most of the time, That is conservatives. This time, I tried to aim for more centrist sources. Most of Trump"s policies were good. However, This is not about his policies. It is about racism. I personally want Trump impeached so Pence can replace him. Lindsey Graham is not a RINO. His stance on: Immigration:https://www. Lgraham. Senate. Gov/public/index. Cfm/key-issues? P=immigration Healthcare: https://www. Lgraham. Senate. Gov/public/index. Cfm/key-issues? P=stopping-the-government-takeover-of-health-care He"s about as much of a RINO as Ben Shapiro is. "Steve Bannon is not alt right. He is moderate. He is not a white supremacist. " Steve Bannon is not moderate. He supports white supremacy (https://www. Dailywire. Com/news/8441/i-know-trumps-new-campaign-chairman-steve-bannon-ben-shapiro) Your cite did not confirm that it was 21% or I couldn"t find it in the link. I provided a link claiming it was around 8. 6% of the black vote, Lower then the national average. Like you have said with all my sources, This is just one guy"s opinion. Steve Bannon was fired yes, But it was probably after Donald got annoyed with Steve Bannon. The fact that he was hired for the job in the 1st place could show that Donald Trump supports racism and might be a racist himself. Sources: https://www. Lgraham. Senate. Gov/public/index.

Donald Trump is NOT a Racist: Change my Mind

The basic disagreement of this debate is the source and who trusts who. I trust republicans, You trust liberals. We don't even know if their were racist polices. That quote was just an idea. One person claimed that. I don't believe him. Trump has cut taxes, Moved the embassy to Jerusalem, Strong on borders, And is tough on the media. People were tired of republican presidents just taking punched from the media, But not punching back. Trump has fixed that. Democrats hate Trump, And want to impeach him. Saying that he is racist helps their case, And they can get away with it because their in a closed meeting. Lindsey Graham is a he. He is a rhino, And far from actual republican or conservatism. Sure, The comments are vague. Steve Bannon is not alt right. He is moderate. He is not a white supremacist. I wasn't talking about percentages. I was talking about the people who do support him. Black unemployment is at one of the all time lows. His black vote was more than Romney's, And now the approval rating among blacks is up to 21%, A high- https://americasvoice. Org/press_releases/new-poll-nations-most-competitive-races-may-hinge-on-trumps-racism/ Jim Jordan has told multiple stories about Trump and how he cares about all people and is compassionate to people. Steve Bannon was fired anyway.
Donald Trump is NOT a Racist: Change my Mind

It was a link in the paragraph of the article you cited. I gave you the link in the last argument. Click on the first thing you see after the web search for the link. I will tell you again- "In fairness, Those suits date from long ago[1970], And the discriminatory policies were probably put in place not by Donald Trump but by his father. Fred Trump appears to have been arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally in 1927; Woody Guthrie, Who lived in a Trump property in the 1950s, Lambasted Fred Trump in recently discovered papers for stirring racial hatred. " There was one person who claimed Trump said that. They also fail to provide links to other sources. A couple people claimed he said Nigerians live in huts. Other people said they do not recall Trump saying that, And he denied it himself. Would you trust lying liberals or truthful republicans? The shithole claim was by a couple lying people, And other people in the meeting denied him saying anything like that. This is Trump's tweet- "Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, Obviously, A very poor and troubled country. Never said "take them out. " Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, No trust! " Democrats claimed trump said shithole. Here is the denials of him saying that- https://www. Cnn. Com/2018/01/12/politics/senators-trump-comment-tom-cotton/index. Html Even Lindsey Graham, A never trumper, Said he does not recall Trump using that word. He probably forgot about it, Or meant he didn't know much about Duke and had to look into it more before he made a comment. So? He said if it makes you feel better because he claimed he didn't know much about Duke. It doesn't matter what he says about one specific person. He said he didn't know much about Duke. What else more do you want? You said he doesn't believe being racist is a bad thing. This is an opinion, Not a fact. I know Jim Jordan personally, And trust me, Trump is not racist. He has hired more blacks and has great relationships with them such as Kanye West, And many blacks are for Trump, Like Candace owens.
Donald Trump is NOT a Racist: Change my Mind

What hyperlink? "This could mean multiple sources reported on essentially the same thing, One person claiming trump said that. " This might be because multiple sources confirmed what Trump said. He said all Nigerians live in huts. Although I confused Nigeria and Africa for a while, He called Haiti and African nations as shithole nations, Not just nations that are poor, But shithole nations. "Was that Haiti was a poor and troubled country. " Can you site this? I cited him using "shithole" to describe the country. "And several people at the meeting did not recall him saying the alleged words. " What several people? You don"t cite this, So your doing what the NY times did by failing to cite. These people could have been strong supporters of Trump. I tried to use reliable sources that were only center left. These people could have been less reliable "In a 2000 interview, He called David Duke a racist. " He could have been doing this to suck up to the public. He also loses his credibility on the subject since he says that David Duke is a racist and then later he claims not to know anything about David Duke, Therefore not knowing enough about whether or not David Duke is a racist. He was willing to lie about his support because he said he would do it only if it made us feel better. The site claims, " Unlike most other top Republican officials, Trump generally does not couple his statements about Duke with a firm condemnation of Duke"s views. Instead, His answers are often reactive, Such as "I would do that [repudiate Duke], If it made you feel better. "" This is Trump giving into the public and hiding his racist views in the name of how the public would feel. If he was truly against David Duke, He would call him a terrible person. He called him a racist, But he doesn"t believe that being a racist is a bad thing. It would be like Hitler calling you a Natzi. To everyone else, It"s an insult. To Hitler, It"s not. I"m not saying Trump is Hitler, But the analogy still applies. Donald Trump is dodging the questions a lot because he doesn"t want to admit that he"s a racist. https://www. Washingtonpost. Com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/03/01/donald-trump-and-david-duke-for-the-record/? Noredirect=on&utm_term=. 96d012249aa6 7: "This was 40 years ago. People can change. " It"s hard for adults with a firm ideology to change. Even when saying this, You claim Donald Trump was a racist 40 years ago. "Second off, This claim is by one person who thinks he recalls instances like this when he was a teenager. " Is Donald Trump the teenager or is the recaller the teenager? I'm not sure.

let me answer his points one by one. 1. obelisk pro did not provide any evidence for the livers with which the stones are lifted. so i think that stones are not lifted that way. 2. moving the stone pro said that a smaller sledge made of ceder wood was used to move the stone but my dear, how strong the ceder wood is? it is the weaker than all types of woods, if not weakest. trolly made of such weaker wood cannot be used to carry huge heavy granite stone. it is so impossible. source:. http://workshopcompanion.com... 3. cutting granite pro has made a remarkable jump from copper saw to bronge saw. i appreciate the jump. but pro forgot that granite is one of the hardest stone on earth. to cut it you need something harder than it. in modern day diamond tipped sawblade or carbide-tipped drillbits are used to cut granite. do you think that a bronze saw with no teeth can cut hard stone like granite with sand. if it is possible then why such method is not used in modern day? source:. http://www.ehow.com... 4. construction ok now i think i understand the spiral construction. stones are lifted in a trolly which was moving on ramps. but then also there is a question: where was that ramp? and where was that trolly? why can't we see them now? why other explorars cannot see them before houdin? my theory look there is a huge gap between man as cave painter and man as giant sophisticated pyramid builder. a cave painter cannot build such kind of huge pyramid with their primitive tools. then from where the sophisticated tools were coming? if you say that men invented them, then there will be a problem : what was the inspiration behind such invention? there is an inspiration behind every invention. for example: the inventions of plane and other flying machines are inspired by bird's flight. that of car was inspired by electric motor and horsedrawn carriage etc. in a word there must be some basis of invention. nothing happens out of blue. and where is the technology to build such equipment? who taught those technology to men? these questions have no answer. but if we consider intelligent intervention we will find a reasonable explanation of man's leap from a primitive cave painter to sophisticated structure builder. besides you see that there are no trace of those sophisticated equipment used to build the pyramid was found. if those instrument were invented by men, then those things must be there today, at least in limited extent. but if those equipments are brought by aliens, then they took those things with them when the job is over. thats why today we cannot find the proper equipments. isn't it a better explanation?
Resolved: Ancient Astronaut Theory is Bunk

let me reply to one by one. 1. unfinished obelisk stones are dug in the ground and large livers were used to separate them from the ground. but why we can't see today those livers which were used to separate stones from ground? where are they now? 2. moving the stone the stones were moved in wooden sleds with thick papyrus rope. where are those wooden sleds today? why we can't see them physically rather in hieroglyphs? 3. cutting granite copper saws and sands were used to cut the granite. ok . where could we see those copper saws and sands in these days. ? in which museum can we see original copper saws (not replica) used by egyptians to cut the stone? 4. construction of pyramids i don't really understand the internal spiral theory. so my friend you see that most of the equipment that are used in building pyramids today were not found anywhere in egypt or in the world. so thos theory won't stand at all. now lets consider my theory; ancient aliens built the pyramids with their advanced equipments and then took back their equipment with them. thats why today we have pyramids but we don't have the equipments used to build them. got it?
Resolved: Ancient Astronaut Theory is Bunk

Ancient Astronaut Theory (AAT) is the theory that Aliens visited Earth in ancient times and are responsible for many of the structures built in said times (Pyramids of Giza, Puma Punku, the Moai of Easter Island, etc).AATists claim that these ancient peoples simply did not have the technology or the man power to pull off these incredible feats and therefore some sort of advanced technology was required. I find these claims unwarranted and the supporting evidence shoddy at best and outright lies at worst. As such, I will be arguing against the AAT in this debate.The specific topic will be decided by whichever one of the following Con feels is their stronger argument:1. The Pyramids of Giza 2. Puma Punku 3. Moai of Easter IslandCon may choose any one of these three as the topic for this debate.
