Is Donald Trump a Racist?

2. Interesting blog by By Tamar W. Carroll at the following link, some background on Trump

related actions organized by ACT UP's Majority Committee and other groups, mostly PoC during the 80's...

"The majority of people dying of AIDS were people of color": AIDS Activism & Rising Inequality
ACT UP targeted the media for its inaccurate portrayal of the epidemic and especially who was at risk; luxury real estate developers like Donald Trump for exacerbating homelessness; and city hall for its inadequate response to the epidemic.
​
Recognizing Trump as a key symbol of the privatization of New York that contributed to the rapid increase in economic inequality in the 1980s, ACT UP continued to target him. The Housing Committee returned to Trump Tower on February 11, 1989, for the “Soup Kitchen Rally,” in which a coalition of city groups protested the city’s failure to address homelessness, and again on Halloween 1989, when ACT UP members passed out candy, condoms, and information about AIDS and homelessness."

So basically for me, the first thing I ever heard about Trump was that he was a racist predator to be totally boycotted and opposed. 1984. None of this should be a surprise to anyone.
Can't recommend that blog post enough.....
