Jack,



Trump’s record as a racist who has not only made racist comments against
people of color but also racist decisions, is well documented and long
standing, dating back to his career beginning in the early-1970s.

However, over the past eight years, news media continues to tiptoe around this
fact and use softer language such as calling his rhetoric, and his past
decisions as former president, and future plans as the potential next president
“nativist,” “racially charged” and “divisive.”



We, as a multiracial nation, as a multiracial democracy, cannot afford to
normalize such behavior and views, especially when dealing with a presidential
candidate who has already demonstrated and made clear how he would govern from
day one.


Sign this petition to urge the national news media, especially those covering
politics, to call Trump a racist and call out his racism.

From calling Mexican immigrants coming to this country drug dealers,
criminals, and rapists, to more recently perpetuating the false, unfounded
claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating pets, to even
more recently when he repeated false and grossly exaggerated claims about
undocumented immigrants of color in Aurora, Colorado, he has proved how he
thinks, who he is, and how racist views are at the heart of his politics and
core.1, 2

We know why he does this: Trump’s racism, racist rhetoric and plans speak
directly to the fears of his predominantly white base of voters who feel
threatened by, and resentful of, the browning of America—the demographic
revolution. And he knows it has worked for him before, and continues to work.

Although mainstream media is starting to cover his racism, it’s still usually
coated in fuzzy language and they rarely if ever call him what he is: a racist.


We are calling upon the national news media, from reporters to editors to
leaders of media companies to call Trump what he is: a racist.



Sign this petition to urge the news media to call Trump a racist.
