Trump promises to combat “anti-white” racism if elected in 2024
In an interview with Donald Trump, the presumptive candidate of the Republican Party, said that he wants to speed up deportations using the US military, deploy the National Guard to suppress protests, gut the US civil service and that he believes white people stand anti-white prejudice, which the 2025 Project also argues for by describing affirmative motion as affirmative discrimination.
IN extensive interview, published on April 30, Trump lays out his vision for America, which some have described as interconnected dreams of a dictator. Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley described Trump’s second presidency in the magazine as heralding “the end of our democracy” and “the birth of a new kind of authoritarian presidential order.”
As we reported, President Joe Biden attended the May 1 event he called the long interview a must-read. He told the gang gathered for a Native Asian and Hawaiian Pacific Islander fundraiser on the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.: “Trump gave a protracted interview to TIME magazine. It’s coming out, you will have to read it. This is a must-read. This election is about competing values and competing visions for America,” Biden added. “Trump’s values and visions are anger, hatred, vengeance and vengeance.”
In addition to his tacit support for the goals of Project 2025, the Republican Party’s code-named project to reshape the complete US government in Trump’s image, the GOP nominee has been staunchly opposed to what he has described as anti-white bias.
“If you have a look at the Biden administration, it’s type of anti-everything, depending in your specific views. They are against Catholics. They’re going against plenty of different people… I feel there’s a transparent anti-white bias in this country and that cannot be allowed either,” Trump said. “Honestly, I do not think it might be very difficult to solve. However, I consider that the present law may be very unfair. And education may be very unfair and suppressed. However, I do not think it’s going to be a giant problem. But if you look now, you will notice that there may be absolute prejudice against white (people) and that could be a problem.
The Republican Party as an entire has been engaged in a long-running anti-DEI attack, most prominently exemplified by the controversy the party has generated over critical race theory. Critical race theory is actually a way of American society through the lens of laws and other points of the American social structure that perpetuate systemic racism. Although the speculation doesn’t appear in any K-12 textbooks, it’s mentioned in several K-12 education proposals put forth by Republican governors similar to Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The Republican Party can also be attacking DEI policies and departments at higher education institutions, saying they shouldn’t receive state funding since it is discriminatory.
However, civil rights leaders similar to Alvin B. Tillery, director of the Center for the Study of Democracy and Diversity at Northwestern University, and Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, see Republican Party activism as a part of a framework that began throughout the days of segregation. Morial said that conservatives “stand for restoring white privilege” and that they “stand for policies that were used during the era of segregation in America.”
