As a regular visitor here, you surely note many of the posts, either with an adjective in front (black) or in the post a reference o his race, or the race problem used as a measuring stick for him.
I object to most of what he did, but realistically know in my heart that the birther situation was racial. Our President held that view until a few months ago, and was very clear he was only "renouncing" his actions and words in a sarcastic manner. From that, I surmise he feels the same way now as he did on the birther thing AND the Central Park Five. I am simply referring to factual events not subject to interpretation

I can't speak for anyone on this forum, but I do know many people who voted against Obama and then for Trump and can honestly say not one of them is a racist. In fact, far from it, and that is my point. Just because one votes this way does not make them a racist. And yet some on this forum would have you think just that.
As far as Trump is concerned, I don't know him as well as you apparently do, but I'm willing to give him a chance to see what he can do for the country. I really don't care if the press like him or not, or if other countries like him or not, the question is what is he trying to accomplish for Americans. The only certainty I knew at election time was that I didn't want to go in the direction in which the other candidate wanted to lead us.
