DEBUNK: “Donald Trump is a Racist”
A debunk on the statements around the “Trump is a Racist” narrative.
Main Accusations Against Trump:
This is one of the main examples of Trump’s “Racism” that even though rebutted thousands of times, Democrat Presidential Nominee, Joseph Biden, tweeted recently the latter quote.
This is not even an out of context statement, this is just a blatant lie. Below is the exact transcript of what was said.
Reporter: “The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest — “
Trump: “Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves — and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.”

Entrepreneurship and Economic Freedom for Blacks:
Black Americans are seeing unprecedented levels of economic success with record low unemployment rates, more jobs, and higher incomes. This is due to Trump’s efforts within the economy and the Black Community.
- Over 1.4 million more Black Americans have found a job since President Trump’s election
- Black poverty reached a historic low
- President Trump designated 8,760 Opportunity Zones that are projected to spur $100 billion in private investment in minority communities
- The Trump administration established a fund to deploy $1 billion in capital funding for minority-owned businesses through the Commerce Department
- The Black poverty rate is now at its lowest level in history
Educational Freedom:
President Trump called on Congress to pass school choice legislation to expand educational opportunities for all American children, especially those in our nation’s inner cities. This massively helps the Black Community as they are affected the most by being sent to the default school in their area.
- President Trump’s 2020 budget called for $500 million in federal funding for school choice, and in 2018 he signed legislation increasing school choice funding by $42 million
- His Administration proposed the Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUS)
President Trump restored funding and increased investment for Historically Black Colleges and Universities by 14 percent.
- Provided more than $500 million in loans to HBCUs through the Capital Financing Program
- Worked with HBCUs to protect $80 million in Title III carryover funding
- Signed the FUTURE Act into law, which permanently funds HBCUs and simplifies the FAFSA application
- In 2018, President Trump signed a budget deal which forgave more than $300 million in debt owed by four HBCUs impacted by natural disasters and provided $10 million in loan payment deferments for schools that face financial difficulties, including HBCUs
- President Trump worked with Congress to lift the ban on Pell Grants on summer classes
Criminal Justice Reform:
President Trump signed the historic FIRST STEP ACT into law on top of more historic reforms.
- 90 percent of those who have had their sentences reduced are Black Americans
- The FIRST STEP ACT shortens mandatory minimum sentence for nonviolent drug crimes
- The law allows offenders sentenced under racially motivated mandatory minimums to petition for revaluation
- President Trump launched the “Ready to Work” Initiative, which helps released prisoners gain meaningful employment
- President Trump has proposed the Second Step Act to partner with corporate America to create opportunities for former prisoners to re-join society
In Conclusion:
The above main things Trump has done for Blacks is just direct accomplishments for the Black Community, however there are many more things that Trump has done for America that indirectly help the Black Community.
The MSM love to call Trump a racist but it really is the complete opposite.
