That racist Bastard!

I saw someone call him a "child rapist" on my FB

Actually, most of what you're citing as evidence that he's not racist is the very definition of racism. Knowledge leads to understanding. You could use a little of it.
I've got about 30 minutes if you want to play the semantics game.

No need. Your heels are already dug in and I'm choosing to move on. Stirring the pot isn't what we need right now.

Jimmy don't even try. You get it. You work with black kids constantly. You know that they get treated unfairly no matter how good they are. These people will never understand nor do they want too.

'member that one time he was eating chicken on his plane with a fork and knife? FRIED CHICKEN!!! We all know that anytime a white person eats fried chicken it's a dog-whistle for people that want to re-institute slavery.

I know people that even THINK they're racists, and would give the shirt off their back to anyone of any color. What I am contending is simple: it takes a lot to be a legitimate racist. Today, anyone is racist for anything. It's maddening how horribly abused that word is. I'm not mad or upset, and utterly rational and willing to legitimately debate it while I have the time.

I see it nearly every day. Unfortunately, showing it to someone that refuses to look at it objectively is pointless. Hopefully we can get there.

Wow. I can't even believe how judgmental you are of people that don't come to the same conclusions politically that you do*.

I am utterly objective. I have no dog in the fight except to help people learn how to STOP abusing that word.

Great, what far-reaching anecdotal evidence we have here.

I think it starts with a basic understanding of racism and bigotry. Similar, yet quite different. A lot of what came from his camp would fall under bigotry and not racism, but I would argue that it's hard to be one and not the other. I see him as a nationalist, but he struck a chord with many who do share racist views, and I believe it derived from his message.
In his initial announcement we heard him paint Mexicans with a wide brush, has done everything he could to delegitimize Obama's presidency and nationality, singled out the Muslim religion as needing a litmus test etc. Quite divisive and easily interpreted as racist or bigotry. He walked a very fine line and it's hard for anyone that is not a die hard Trump fan not to believe or wonder what his true feeling about others that don't resemble him actually is.

Well that, and the judge was part of an advocacy group actively campaigning against Trump. We'll just look past that last part though.

stereotyping is not racism. try again.

I could give you story after story, but I don't want to go down that road. I will say a couple things, though. I visit roughly 50 or more high schools in a given year,and have done so in multiple states. With scary accuracy, I can tell you the makeup of the student body before I ever step foot inside the school,simply by the condition of the school. Schools with a largely minority student body are generally in worse shape than schools filled with Caucasians. This is what I've encountered in Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Georgia; all states I have worked in the past.
I also get to see high school football coaches, who in alarming numbers, concern themselves more about the futures of their white players more than the minorities on their team. The sheer number of cases I have encountered is troubling and it hurts me to my core. These are just a couple of things I see frequently.

You're really splitting hairs, here.

No, I'm really not, unless you are of the belief that words have no meaning.

How is calling illegal aliens illegal racist?

Stereotyping, bigotry and racism are very similar in nature. If you can't grasp that then I need to hold a discussion with someone else.
