13031802, That doesn't constitute a rebuttal

Look....he was a prominent, out-spoken, media-focused public figure for 30 years before he ran for president. Overnight....he switches from someone who barely EVER said anything about race to someone who ONLY talks about race.

Did he have some sort of awakening or something? No. He saw an opportunity to achieve success in this platform by talking about race and did so. Compare the Trump public persona in 1995 to current day. They are two completely different people. He's a blank slate. If he thought he could've won the election by advocating a black panther inspired platform, he would have. He's an opportunist posing as a racist. And in 1973, he discriminated against people of color in his real estate business because of money. If he could profit by dealing with POC...he would've done so. This is not a man with strong convictions....whether racist or not.
