Are you a minority of color?
I’m mixed race.
Again I’m not saying Trump is a racist or his voters are( some of them are).
What I am saying is that Trump is using dog whistles to attract a certain voter group to his cause.
And indeed the larger point is that within certain conservative circles they are conservatives largely because it means denying minorities’ government money through programs.
Trump though isn’t about cutting these programs (good for him) so why do these racists follow him?
Why are KKK types following Trump?

One thing a guy like Trump proves is that if it weren’t for racism in America much of what liberals want would have been done. As it is in European countries…. Such as real universal health care and real helping the poor out of poverty.
The problem is conservatism( and the GOP) is so littered with racists that they refuse to help the people at the bottom (in America the minorities of color mostly) so they maintain conservatism to keep the minorities from being assisted.
This is proven by Trump in that he’s actually a liberal moderate with some conservative sounding tough guy anti-minority rhetoric to placate the racists amongst the conservatives.
That’s why the KKK, various other overt racists and other bigots like Alex Jones and Jess Rense are for Trump.
And that is exactly why various racists are FOR Obama. Do people need a recent history lesson on that type of racism too? Racists against whites.
So yes, the country AS A WHOLE is racist. Welcome to reality!
With Trump it's always: China, Mexico, Japan. It seems ONLY non white groups of people are the subject of Trump's rhetoric...
That's NOT saying Trump doesn't get on white individuals
Its typical racist xenophobia racists like to hear
That's my point of this OP

Because it isn't.
There are still stupid, bigoted individuals, but there isn't anything keeping minorities from success. Sadly, most liberals need racism to be an issue to stay relevant.

That's interesting, considering that historically the KKK is a branch of the democratic party.. and many KKK members endorse Hillary Clinton.
And since we're on the topic, could you explain exactly what is racist about Trump's campaign?
Trump isint racist per say, but he uses people fears to try to win the next election, by blaming minorities he attracts some racist, just like hillary attracts people who hate right leaning voters.
