Reuters measured the racial attitudes of Trump supporters. Nearly 50 percent said blacks were “more violent” than whites; nearly 50 percent said that blacks were “more criminal than whites.” More than 40 percent said that blacks were “more rude” than whites, and more than 30 percent said that blacks were “lazier” than whites.

Data on questions of race and Trump comes from the American National Election Study. More than 60 percent of Trump supporters say that Barack Obama is a Muslim. Trump supporters have negative feelings toward blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, and LGBT Americans, and positive feelings toward whites. Trump supporters are more likely than non-Trump supporters to believe that blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims are lazier and more violent than whites. More than 60 percent of Trump supporters believe black people are more violent than whites. More than 70 percent of Trump supporters believe Muslim people are more violent than white.

Famous Trump supporter, David Duke, the former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, recently recorded a robocall to attract other white supremacists to vote for Trump.

Two very well known white supremacists leaders, Richard Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute, a white nationalist organization, and Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance, a white supremacist magazine, both support Trump and they recently told the media “Most white people, whether they say so or not, would prefer to live… in a majority white country but they’re too terrified to say it.”

The Daily Stormer, the leading Neo Nazi website supporting Trump, editor Andrew Anglin wrote in his article, “We are all Donald Trump now.”

These are all deplorable views representing the consensus of opinions of a big basket of Trump supporters.




You can have all of them.

You took my quote totally out of context and tried to apply the list you wrote up to apply to what I stated. That's bullshit which just deflects the statement she made about half of Trump supporters, with a major caviat that she was generalizing and acknowledging that it was not a good thing to do. Afterwards it caused a big stir and she was forced to walk it back in some ways. There were comparisons to Romney's 47% comments, which basically cost him the election. Hey, believe what you want. It's Still a Free Country. Do you think Hillary really did not mean what she said originally? I think she did mean it and transparency is an issue with her. When you start going after the voters instead of your opponent history does not bode well.
