(4,035 posts)He clearly demonstrated that he was a racist before the election. I say that anyone who votes for a racist is a racist themselves. It doesn't matter if they have a Black best friend, or never uses the n-word, or whatever - if you vote for a racist, you don't care about the consequences for people of color - and that makes you a racist. A majority of white people voted for Trump - ergo, a majority of white voters are racist.
I'll give you the argument that the Trump win wasn't entirely about racism, though - it was about misogyny too. Trump voters are racists or misogynists or both - most often both. Throw in homophobia too, as well as hatred of disabled people, and it leaves us with the knowledge that NO Trump voter is a decent person. They're despicable people who at the very least are willing to sacrifice the lives of minority groups for their own benefit, at worst are salivating to start eradicating minority groups and turn them into slaves.
