In reply to the discussion: ***NEW*** Trump said there are too many MINORITIES in the Suburbs. Wants to reduce the numbers [View all]qwlauren35
(6,309 posts)83. You are ALL GETTING IT WRONG!!!!!
He did not say keep minorities out. He said keep low income housing out.
He said that 30% of suburbia is minorities, as if to say it's not just white people who want to keep low income housing out. He is suggesting that minorities worked hard to achieve the American Dream of living in suburbia and won't want to see it destroyed by the "invasion" of low income housing.
What he said about "keep it lower" is about whether he is misquoting the statistic.
Someone posted the video, and I watched it, because I couldn't believe it.
He's stupid, but he's not that stupid.
Let me rephrase that - this is the man who suggested drinking Clorox. Sometimes he IS that stupid. But people are misinterpreting what he said on this one.
