August 12: "The violence and deaths in
Charlottesville strike at the heart of American law and justice. When such
actions arise from racial bigotry and hatred, they betray our core values and
cannot be tolerated," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.

golf course.
August 13: Politicians from all sides have
rounded on Donald Trump for failing explicitly to condemn white supremacy groups
or use the term domestic terrorism after a woman was killed when a car
smashed into anti-racism protesters at the weekend. The US Department of
Justice
has opened a civil rights investigation into the death.
On Saturday the president condemned hatred and violence “on many sides” in his
remarks, but did not directly single out the white supremacists, whose attempt
to hold a major rally in Charlottesville, Virginia resulted in the governor,
Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, calling a state of emergency. Disorder including
clashes with counterprotesters left more than 30 injured.

August 15: In a press conference on Tuesday,
the president of the United States appeared to equate white supremacist marchers
with counterprotesters who recently clashed in Charlottesville, Va.
"I think there is blame on both sides," he said, going on to take aim at what he
called the "alt-left." "What about the fact they came charging with clubs in
hands, swinging clubs. Do they have any problem? I think they do. As far as I'm
concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day."
The remarks were the latest in the administration's continued response to a
weekend of protests that included torch-wielding protesters chanting racist
messages including, "Jews will not replace us." The confrontations between
rally-goers and counterprotesters led to one woman's death.

August 14:President
Donald Trump called out the KKK, neo-Nazis and other hate groups in response
to the deadly violence in
Charlottesville, after criticism that his initial response to the tragedy
was insufficient and cast the clashes as a matter of political equivalence.
Speaking from the Diplomatic Room at the White House, Trump said that hatred and
bigotry “has no place in America,” while labeling racism as “evil.”
August 14: An infamous neo-Nazi website
has been evicted from its home on the Internet after a violent white nationalist
rally drew fresh attention to hate speech in the United States.

August 14: CEOs Of Merck, Under Armour And Intel Resign From
Trump's Business Council ... Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier was the first to announce
his resignation followed by Under Armour's Kevin Plank and Intel's Brian
Krzanich.
In a statement on his resignation,
Frazier said,
"America's leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejecting
expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy, which run counter to the
American ideal that all people are created equal."
Hours after Frazier resigned, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank also
said he was
stepping down from the council. Plank's company
had faced a backlash earlier this year over his support of Trump.
August 15: There was a storm of negative

August 17: The author of a racially charged
email forwarded by President Trump’s lawyer said he sent the message in hopes it
would help Trump defend his response to Charlottesville, and give the president
fodder to go further in condemning groups on the left.
August 17: John Dowd, who leads the
president’s legal team, forwarded an email that among other things, argued there
no difference between Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and George Washington,

The original author of the email, whose subject line was “The information that
validates President Trump on Charlottesville,” is Jerome Almon, who runs several
websites that promote conspiracy theories, said The Times.

during this hard time.”
August 14: “I am seriously considering a
pardon for Sheriff Arpaio [the former Arizona sheriff found guilty last month of
criminal contempt for violating the terms of a 2011 court order in a racial
profiling case, Fox News reported on Monday.],” Trump told Fox News on Sunday at
his country club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
August 14: "President Trump would be
literally pardoning Joe Arpaio’s flagrant violation of federal court orders that
prohibited the illegal detention of Latinos," said Cecillia Wang, ACLU deputy
legal director and one of the plaintiffs' attorneys. "He would undo a conviction
secured by his own career attorneys at the Justice Department. Make no mistake:
This would be an official presidential endorsement of racism.”

August 16:
The opponents of removing Confederate statues from public places have often made
the argument that the monuments are meant as a symbol of the supposed heritage
of the South, not as symbols of racial prejudice or hatred. However, the history

this is a lie.

August: In just one year, the alt right has
gone from relative obscurity to being one of the United States' most visible
extremist movements. This stratospheric rise is due in large part to the
rhetoric employed during the 2016 presidential campaign, which granted implicit
approval to the once-taboo hallmarks of the far right – overt racism,
anti-Semitism, xenophobia, misogyny, and anti-Muslim bigotry.
The alt right capitalized on the moment by amplifying those messages while
loudly rejecting mainstream conservatism and its followers (often referred to as
“cucks”).
You can’t discuss the alt right without mentioning the “alt lite,” a loosely
connected movement of right-wing activists who reject the overtly white
supremacist ideology of the alt right, but whose hateful impact is more
significant than their “lite” name suggests. The alt lite embraces misogyny and
xenophobia, and abhors “political correctness” and the left.

August 26: [Joe] Arpaio, who was sheriff in
Maricopa County, Arizona, until last year,

August 26: US President
Donald Trump
granted a pardon to a controversial former Arizona law enforcement official less
than a month after he was convicted of criminal contempt in a case involving
racial profiling.
A White House statement on Friday confirmed the pardon - the first of the Trump
administration, of Joe Arpaio.
August 25: Sen.
Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) criticized President Trump's decision to pardon
former Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Friday, saying he would
have preferred that the president "honor" the legal process.
August 25: On the heels of Trump’s
controversial decision to pardon former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who
was convicted of criminal contempt, former acting Attorney General Sally Yates
issued a response that instantly went viral.
August 26: U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
released the following statement today on President Trump’s pardon of former
Sheriff Joe Arpaio:
“No one is above the law and the individuals entrusted with the privilege of
being sworn law officers should always seek to be beyond reproach in their
commitment to fairly enforcing the laws they swore to uphold. Mr. Arpaio was
found guilty of criminal contempt for continuing to illegally profile Latinos
living in Arizona based on their perceived immigration status in violation of a
judge’s orders. The President has the authority to make this pardon, but doing
so at this time undermines his claim for the respect of rule of law as Mr.
Arpaio has shown no remorse for his actions.”

October 19: George W. Bush delivers clear
rebuke, without mentioning Trump by name ... In a speech for the Bush
Institute’s Spirit of Liberty event in New York, Bush made bold statements that
seemed to be a veiled criticism of the ultra-conservative wing of the Republican
Party that has rallied around President Trump.
"We've seen nationalism distorted into nativism," Bush said without directly
mentioning Trump. "Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seems more vulnerable
to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication."
October 19: "Our identity as a nation –
unlike many other nations – is not determined by geography or ethnicity, by soil
or blood," Bush said,
referencing a Nazi slogan chanted by some protesters in Charlottesville.
He continued: "Being an American involves the embrace of high ideals and civic
responsibility. We become the heirs of Thomas Jefferson by accepting the ideal
of human dignity found in the Declaration of Independence. We become the heirs
of James Madison by understanding the genius and values of the U.S.
Constitution. We become the heirs of Martin Luther King, Jr., by recognizing one
another not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

November 13:
President Donald Trump is nominating white men to America’s federal courts at a
rate not seen in nearly 30 years, threatening to reverse a slow transformation
toward a judiciary that reflects the nation’s diversity.
So far, 91 percent of Trump’s nominees are white, and 81 percent are male, an
Associated Press analysis has found. Three of every four are white men, with few
African-Americans and Hispanics in the mix. The last president to nominate a
similarly homogenous group was George H.W. Bush.

December 15: The past year of research has
made it very clear: Trump won because of racial resentment
Contrary to what some have suggested, white millennial Trump voters were not in
more economically precarious situations than non-Trump voters. Fully 86 percent
of them reported being employed, a rate similar to non-Trump voters; and they
were 14 percent less likely to be low income than white voters who did not
support Trump. Employment and income were not significantly related to that
sense of white vulnerability ... economic anxiety isn’t driving racial
resentment; rather, racial resentment is driving economic anxiety.

December 23: 'The New York Times' Reports
that Trump Made Blatantly Racist Statements About Immigrants
Sources say that Trump said Haitian visa holders “all have AIDS” and Nigerians
live in “huts.”
The newspaper [NYT] describes an Oval Office meeting in June which found
President Trump infuriated at the number of foreigners who had been allowed into
the US since his inauguration:
-- More than 2,500 were from Afghanistan, a terrorist haven, the president
complained.
-- Haiti had sent 15,000 people. They “all have AIDS,” he grumbled, according to
one person who attended the meeting and another person who was briefed about it
by a different person who was there.
December 27: In 2017, racism not only won
the day. It won the year ... a 12-month span that saw America inaugurate a
president who ran on a hate-filled platform that denigrated and demeaned anyone
who was not a white male. Some would say that another -ism — sexism — was the
watchword for 2017 ...
the much-needed #MeToo movement, which finally began the process of rightly
punishing sexual predators, was the mirror we needed. It showed us that while
sexism will be punished going forward, racism will remain the status quo.

January 9: Donald Trump made an appearance
at the College Football Playoff national championship game in Atlanta. But when
he joined members of the military on the field for the National Anthem before
the game, it became clear he couldn't -- or wouldn't fully sing along.
At different points, he mouthed some things, smiled painfully, and had his
mouth closed.

President
Donald Trump's latest racist remarks.
The president criticised immigration to his country from
El Salvador,
Haiti and the African continent, by calling the group "shithole countries",
according to the US media.
"Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" Trump
asked at a meeting with congress members at the White House, reports said on
Thursday, citing people with knowledge on the conversation.
January 12: 'Thanks, but no thanks' -
Norwegians reject Trump's immigration offer ...
Many Norwegians rejected on Friday a suggestion by U.S. President Donald Trump
that they would be more welcome to move to the United States than immigrants
from “shithole countries” such as Haiti or African nations.
Republican Sens. Tom Cotton and David Perdue, who've been close allies to the
President on the issue of immigration, were in a White House meeting with him
Thursday when Trump, according to sources, expressed frustration with people
coming to the US from "shithole countries."
January 12: President Donald Trump’s already
infamous “shithole” comment is among several remarks the commander in chief has
made that have energized white supremacists, rights groups fear.
Trump made the comment Thursday in the context of asking why America should
accept more immigrants from Haiti and Africa—instead of places like Norway—while
discussing a bipartisan immigration deal with lawmakers. The
remark reinvigorated accusations that Trump is a racist, and it was embraced
online by white supremacists David Duke and Richard Spencer.

Retweeting Anti-Muslim Videos From British Far-Right Party ... Trump has been in
hot water with British Prime Minister Theresa May for retweeting in November
anti-Muslim videos that were posted by the deputy leader of the far-right
Britain First party.
"Trump said he was sorry for retweeting the anti-Muslim videos which sparked
outrage in Britain.
Trump told [host of Good Morning Britain Piers Morgan: 'If you're
telling me they're horrible racist people, I would certainly apologize if you
would like me to do that.'
January 27: Candidates of color get off the
sidelines in the age of Trump: 'The soul of America is at stake right now'
Run For Something, a national group started after the election to recruit and

candidates, according to co-founder Amanda Litman, a former Hillary Clinton
campaign staffer. Two-thirds of those candidates are women, and one-third

"We must never erode this historic office," Sessions continued.
Invoking "Anglo-American heritage" seems to have been an impromptu decision by

April 9: For at least a year, the biggest
page on Facebook purporting to be part of the Black Lives Matter movement was a
scam with ties to a middle-aged white man in Australia, a review of the page and
associated accounts and websites conducted by CNN shows.
The page, titled simply "Black Lives Matter," had almost 700,000 followers on
Facebook, more than twice as many as the official Black Lives Matter page. It
was tied to online fundraisers that brought in at least $100,000 that supposedly
went to Black Lives Matter causes in the U.S. At least some of the money,
however, was transferred to Australian bank accounts

because of his Mexican heritage, that's a racist remark. And when he said that

President Donald Trump stunned his fellow world leaders at the G7 meeting when

attention to the Japanese leader.
August 23:
How Trump talks about race ... President Donald Trump’s long history with race
is complicated.
He is a man who was accused of racial discrimination multiple times at his
businesses but who used his Mar-a-Lago resort to smash white-only membership
policies in Palm Beach, Florida.
He was among the loudest voices attacking the legitimacy of the nation’s first
black president, but launched one of the most public Republican efforts in
modern history to reach out to the African-American community.
He has a Jewish daughter and grandchildren, yet left Jews out of a Holocaust
remembrance statement.
He fired a longtime aide for using a racial epithet, but secretly funded ads
that associated Native Americans with drug use and crime. And he has repeatedly
called Mexicans rapists and criminals while insisting that he loves them.
According to a recent Quinnipiac University poll, almost half of the country
thinks Donald Trump is a racist. Critics of Trump point to the numerous
statements and incidents that would seem to be obvious examples of racism. Yet
defenders of Trump argue that he is not racist, with some asserting that you
can’t prove what is in someone’s heart. This is an earnest, if not convenient,
defense that ultimately is unprovable. We can’t literally know what is in
Trump’s heart, or anyone else’s heart for that matter. We can only go by words
and actions, and even these are subject to different interpretations.

him. He even had the gall to claim he’s the least racist person you’ll ever

him, and he only got 8 percent of the black vote. Don, you can pretend you love
“the blacks” all you want, but what’s crystal clear is that the love is not
reciprocated.
