“I have so many Black friends that if I were a racist, they wouldn’t be friends, they would know better than anybody, and fast,” Trump said. “They would not be with me for two minutes if they thought I was racist—and I’m not racist!”

    Kinda unrelated but what do you do to prove youre not rasist? Like some people literally dont believe that im hungarian but not racist(btw thats xenophobia and/or racism…). I usually just say i have black friends and im just not racist but that just makes me seem racist… I know the people who dont believe me are douches but there are people youre forced to spend time with.

      “well, I don’t want to be racist and I try not to be racist. Is there something I can improve on or that I’m ignorant of?”

      If you aren’t racist then it flips the onus back on them to prove you are racist, while also showing any offense you might have caused to be accidental and that you are willing to self-improve

        What in OPs post implies that he/she is doing racist shit during his/her whole life? It’s a valid questions IMO and no reason to get personally insulting.
