I cannot, and will not, take any Black person seriously who says Donald Trump isn’t racist or asks, “how is he racist?” At this point, that’s not ignorance. That’s willful blindness. That’s intellectual dishonesty. That’s a conscious decision to ignore a mountain of documented evidence that spans more than 50 years. We’re not talking about rumors or feelings, we’re talking about federal housing discrimination cases, calling for the execution of the Central Park Five, birtherism against the first Black president, referring to African nations as “sh*thole countries,” telling Black members of Congress to “go back” somewhere else, attacking DEI while dismantling opportunities for Black people, attempting to erase Black history, claiming the civil rights movement caused “white people to be treated very badly,”  celebrating in awarding, white supremacists, pardoning insurrectionists who attempted to overthrow the government and overturn Black votes, and now pushing policies that are actively removing Black professionals—especially Black women, from positions of influence under the false banner of “meritocracy.” And somehow…you’re still confused? No. You’re not confused, you’re committed to pushing a false narrative. Because the truth is, admitting Trump’s racism would require you to confront what you’ve aligned yourself with. And for some, proximity to power, validation from whiteness, or partisan loyalty matters more than truth, dignity, and the lived reality of your own people. If you can look at all of this, and still ask, “how is he racist?”—you have already disqualified yourself from serious conversation. This isn’t about political differences. This is about basic discernment. And if your discernment is that broken, your opinion on anything of substance is compromised. I don’t debate denial. I don’t argue with willful ignorance. And I refuse to take seriously anyone who has made a choice to ignore what is plainly evident. At this point, it not a lack of information…it’s a lack of integrity.
