Trump Being Protested Today For Racism!

By Michael Musto Thu., May 19 2011 at 9:30 AM

His hair might be color-blind, but he certainly isn't.

In fact, some of Trump's recent ratings-grabbing stunts reeked of bigotry as he went after our president over misguided issues of validity and intelligence.

And now he's got hell to pay.

Here's an angry mass email that just went out from Color of Change, who've planned a big protest for today, which will curl Trump's coif for sure:

"We're going to hand out flyers in front of the Trump International Hotel and Tower on Central Park West in Manhattan.

"The flyers carry a simple message: Don't reward Trump's racist attacks by supporting his hotels.

"After questioning whether President Obama is really an American citizen, Trump went on to ask if Obama was really qualified to attend Ivy league schools and asked for his college transcripts.

"Trump was implying that Obama couldn't possibly be intelligent enough to achieve this kind of success without an unfair advantage. It's an attack that many people of color recognize--when we achieve something big, some people question if we've really earned it.

"Trump isn't just attacking Obama--he's attacking the idea that all of us deserve to be respected and treated as equals. There are still people who can't accept that a Black man can or should be President. Trump is speaking to them and helping make their racist worldview more acceptable.

"Can you print out some flyers and join us on Thursday between noon and 2pm? Please RSVP by sending an email to trumpnyc@colorofchange.org.

"Please print some out some flyers and bring them with you on Thursday--you can download the flyer by clicking here:

"Meet in front of the front entrance on Central Park West between Columbus Circle and
61st street."

If you agree, start printing and screaming! Tell Trump he's fired!

instead of running for president he should run for the role of the heat miser.

I only disliked this pig before. Now I despise him. I would never patronize any of his tacky fleabag hotels. Ugh.

We're saying that's what Trump sees in him. Trump sees a black man and says he's unqualified.

Why are Americans so swift to scream "racist" these days? Especially on behalf of Obama? His bloodline is more Arabac than African, and he is half Caucasian. So EXACTLY which race is under attack here? But we as a group see darker skin and assume: black. The man's more white than black but it was his African lineage that got him into the White House and it's the only piece of his genetic puzzle that people want to defend.

It's obvious to anyone that plenty of people who don't like Obama can't stand it that his black self has the title President of the US. As far as his actual genetic make-up, what's the most oppressed or controversial component? BLACK. You can dither and argue, but honestly, why do you think people see racism as a motivator in some of the criticism? Then ask yourself how criticism of W compares. Talk about a stupid schmuck getting a pass. That's Bushy.

Trump is a turd and no doubt a racist and homophobe too. Anti Semitic goes without saying, these 3 things ALWAYS go together (unless the asshole is black, gay or Jewish).

You mean Trump didn't question Dubya's right to be President (Wasn't he in good schools thanks to family favors?) but he questions Obama's?

Inchon

It's not too late. He may not be running anymore, but he's still got lots of properties we can picket and boycott. Let's take a stand against his ignorance!
