If President Trump is really a "Racist," as Joe Biden claims, he is one of the strangest racists who ever lived: before the coronavirus hit, black and Hispanic unemployment was at record low levels, the President has repeatedly hailed the achievements of black Americans, and Trump himself, before he entered politics as an unapologetic, non-establishment Republican, was widely respected even by the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for his work for the black community.
None of that matters to Joe Biden or whomever is putting words in his mouth: they want us to believe that Trump is a racist the first racist President, because for years they've been destroying Republicans with this charge, however false it may be.
Throughout his life, he retained the racist attitudes he learned in his youth, and when he became president, he made them U.S. government policy.
In 1915, the notorious film The Birth of a Nation became the first motion picture to get a screening in the White House; the film portrayed the Ku Klux Klan as heroes, denigrated blacks in numerous ways, and quoted Wilson as a respected authority.
Rating America's Presidents also shows how another Democrat, James Buchanan, presided over the dissolution of the Union in the years leading up to the Civil War, appealing to the South not to secede by adopting a full-hearted, enthusiastic endorsement of slavery and all it represented.
The president tried to win support for the Lecompton Constitution in Congress with a variety of favors and perks, but the House voted it down anyway.
They didn't want slavery, no matter how determined President Buchanan was that they have it.
