Perspective: Is Donald Trump a racist?

This perspective has been inspired by a story posted in vision newspaper publications. It is timely and is something Americans should ponder as they choose a president on November 8. Is Trump a racist?

Marcus Garvey tried to uplift the social and economic plight of persons of colour through his United Negro Improvement Association (INIA) and the Black Star liner fleet of ships.

Garvey’s dream was was targeted by unprofessional racist elements from the CIA to the US government. Garvey’s organization was infiltrated and he was arrested and criminally charged for mail fraud sent to prison … then deported to Jamaica.

We all know of the trials of Malcolm X and the plot that assassinated Martin Luther King Jr. They were racist attacks on our black heroes.

Racial Profiling is demeaning and has no place in any society … Hitler was wrong “There is no super race.”

The verdict as to your choices are yours. You will have to live with your conscience.
