The KKK is now using Donald Trump as a "conversation starter."

This is how white nationalists are using Donald Trump according to Rachel Pendergraft, a national organizer for a KKK affiliated group:  

Rachel Pendergraft — the national organizer for the Knights Party, a standard-bearer for the Ku Klux Klan — told The Washington Post that the KKK, for one, has a new conversation starter at its disposal. 

You might call it a “Trump card.” 

It involves, say, walking into a coffee shop or sitting on a train while carrying a newspaper with a Donald Trump headline. The Republican presidential candidate, Pendergraft told The Post, has become a great outreach tool, providing separatists with an easy way to start a conversation about issues that are important to the dying white supremacist movement. 

“One of the things that our organization really stresses with our membership is we want them to educate themselves on issues, but we also want them to be able to learn how to open up a conversation with other people,” Pendergraft said. 

Using Trump as a conversation piece has been discussed on a private, members-only website and in “e-news, stuff that goes out to members.” 

In addition to opening “a door to conversation,” she said, Trump’s surging candidacy has done something else: It has electrified some members of the movement. “They like the overall momentum of his rallies and his campaign,” Pendergraft said. 

“They like that he’s not willing to back down. He says what he believes and he stands on that.” 

For large numbers of Americans, Trump’s blunt rhetoric surrounding immigration, minority groups and crime may sound like finely tuned retrograde vitriol. But for Pendergraft and a growing number of white nationalists flocking to the campaign’s circus-like tent, the billionaire sounds familiar, like a man fluent in the native tongue of disaffected whites.

Of course this should not come as a surprise to most of us since Trump's father was once arrested with members of the Klan, and his campaign recently forced white supremacist groups to upgrade their servers.

Besides virtually EVERYTHING this man says could be coming out of the mouth of a Grand Wizard of the KKK. His current anti-immigration rhetoric, his demand for Obama's birth certificate, even his history of refusing to rent to black folks, ALL of it helps to identify him as a modern David Duke.

IF he actually wins the GOP nomination the Republican establishment will finally have to admit to themselves that they are the party of racial hatred, religious intolerance, misogyny, and homophobia.

Which, by the way, is something most of us have known for several decades now.

    Wow, I didn't know that he refuses to to rent to black people, but I am not surprised by it.

    It is obvious by his demanding President Obama's birth certificate that he is a stinking white supremacist. He didn't ask for any prior president to show their birth certificate. Also he has tried to bully President Obama, but he has never tried to bully any prior president.
    He has also said that no black person should ever be elected president of the U.S.
    I have no respect for anyone who supports this guy, especially any black who support him.

      I agree that Trump is a despicable, racist, pig-ignorant idiot. No wonder Palin likes him.

      I'm sorry I can't find any link of him saying that directly about black's should not be president. I only found links of him saying that there would never be another black president for generations because of President Obama has done a bad job (of course that is a lie). President Obama has done a great job. Has Trump ever come out and said there would never be another white president? Of course not because he is a stinking racist.
      He has accomplished more than many presidents in recent memory, considering all the the racism he has had to deal with in the Senate, the House, and the public in general. In spite of all of the sandbagging and obstruction he has gotten form the House, he has done great.

    SON OF A BITCH, Sarah Palin lost to an African-American in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant, lost to President Obama in 2008 & 2012, lost to Shailey Tripp in 2007 thru 2011 (?) and now she lost again to Donald Trump in 2015. Can't that crossed eye skank win anything?

    Donald Trump Attacked This 10 Year Old Girl, Now Her Mom Is Striking Back (VIDEO)

    Bullies hate being called out, and as could be expected, Trump cried foul. He posted a Twitter message the next day alleging that the question and answer had been staged. Trump, as the most high profile birther conspiracy theorist in America, is no stranger to this sort of bizarre theorizing. He described the interaction as a “staged event,” which is part of conspiracy culture. Events like 9/11, the Sandy Hook shooting, and others have often been described as “staged events” by true believers.

    Donald is this true?

    A 1979 article, published by Village Voice, reported on a civil rights suit that alleged that the Trumps refused to rent to black home-seekers, and quotes a rental agent who said Fred Trump instructed him not to rent to blacks and to encourage existing black tenants to leave. The case was settled in a 1975 consent degree described as "one of the most far-reaching ever negotiated," but the Justice Department subsequently complained that continuing "racially discriminatory conduct by Trump agents has occurred with such frequency that it has created a substantial impediment to the full enjoyment of equal opportunity.”

    Report: Trump's Dad Was Arrested In 1927 Ku Klux Klan Brawl With Police

    A newly surfaced report from a 1927 edition of the New York Times suggests Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump's late father may have had a connection to the Ku Klux Klan.

    A man named Fred Trump was among those arrested in a massive brawl between KKK members and police at a 1927 Memorial Day parade in New York City, according to a contemporaneous Times article surfaced Wednesday by the blog Boing Boing.

    The Times article listed the arrestee's address as 175-24 Devonshire Road in Jamaica Estates, Queens. Past local news reports noted that the Republican presidential frontrunner's father (pictured above, third from the left) lived at that address. Donald Trump's German immigrant grandfather, who anglicized his own name to Fred Trump, died nine years before the incident occurred.

    While six other men arrested in the brawl faced charges, the Times report noted that Fred Trump was discharged. All seven of the men who were arrested were represented by the same team of two lawyers, according to the Times report.

    The Times reported that police said the brawl broke out because the Klan reneged on an agreement not to wear any of their symbols to the parade. The Klan members, for their part, accused the police of exceeding their authority in trying to keep them out of the parade, according to the report.

    The elder Trump was born in 1905, which would put him in his early '20s when The New York Times covered the brawl. His wife, Mary Anne, didn't give birth to the couple's son Donald until 1946.

    Donald Trump's presidential campaign did not immediately return Boing Boing's request for comment. Similarly, the campaign did not immediately return TPM's request for comment.

    I think you give them too much credit! That is what they're all about -- bigotry against anyone who is not a white straight Christian male is what they knowingly and deliberately embrace and promote. That is the crowd they're actively cultivating.

    "Trump" is slang for fart in the U.K. Also, his father, Joseph, marched with the KKK in the 20's-30's. This is documented in police records.

    White supremacy or white supremacism is a form of racism centered upon the belief, and promotion of the belief, that whitepeople are superior in certain characteristics, traits, and attributes to people of other racial backgrounds and that therefore whites should politically, economically and socially rule non-whites.

    They have been that for a long time. They probably gloat over the fact. However they will never publicly admit to it. Therefore the majority of voters will not be able to recognize it for exactly what it is.

    Trump's Endorsement of Sarah Palin Proves He Isn't Serious about the Presidency
    By Geoffrey Dunn Author and filmmaker

    Donald Trump is many things -- a demagogue and a pompous blowhard, a braggart and a race baiter -- but in the end, he's nobody's fool, except perhaps his own. Thus, his recent lauding of Sarah Palin and his hiring of her former Chief of Staff reveal that Trump's campaign for the presidency is, ultimately, more of a circus act than it is a serious endeavor for the White House. If Trump were really serious, he'd be keeping the quitter governor at bay.

    Trump and Palin have many things in common--and Palin has long been enamoredof the Trump family's gawdy wealth and garish celebrity--but what they share in terms of American national politics are elevated "unfavorable" ratings (even within the Republican Party) and, as a result, a hard,impenetrable ceiling to their national political ambitions. Trump is polling extremely poorly among women--both Democrats and Republicans alike--with unfavorable ratingsabove the 60 percentile a year before the election. Any bookie will tell you that you simply cannot get around numbers like that. Palin knew it, and he knows it, too.

    Like the late Huey Long and Joe McCarthy, both Trump and Palin have tapped into the deep anger and fear of a small but volatile slice of the American body politic. It's a real and complicated demographic, largely misunderstood by the American media, who are far too isolated to either grasp or understand this troubling swath of the American electorate. Both Trump and Palin have uttered racialized attacks on Obama and have tapped into deep-seated strains of intolerance in their comments on immigration and other significant issues facing this country. Palin treaded into even uglier cesspools of racism this week when she compared the Confederate flag to the Planned Parenthood logo. This woman knows no shame....

    'Get Sarah's support! Get Sarah's support!'," he declared. "No matter where I go, Everybody loves her." He obviously hasn't been to Alaska lately--where she's despised by a considerable segment of the Last Frontier's electorate. Palin stayed out of the 2012 race and watched her status sink into oblivion because there wasn't a single state--including her own--that she would carry in the Republican primary.

    Indeed, Palin was detested so badly by Republicans that she wasn't even invited to the 2012 GOP convention...

    They are both narcissists at heart--and the ongoing media attention they would receive is what really propels their egomaniacal political agenda.

    As the Third Reich collapsed towards the end of the war, Braun swore loyalty to Hitler and went to Berlin to be by his side in the heavily reinforced Führerbunker beneath the Reich Chancellery. As Red Army troops fought their way into the neighbourhood on 29 April 1945, she married Hitler during a brief civil ceremony; she was 33 and he was 56. Less than 40 hours later, they committed suicide together in a sitting room of the bunker, she by biting into a capsule of cyanide. The German public was unaware of Braun's relationship with Hitler until after their deaths.

    Speaking of having a Narcissistic Personality Disorder, this is what Sarah Palin thinks of herself. Is Sarah Palin that stupid? Maybe someday on his deathbed John McCain will tell Sarah Palin and the world what he really thinks about her and why he picked her in 2008?

    Internet-
    Palin was asked what advice she would give herself if she could go back in time. Go rogue earlier, she responded.

    "Bust out early on and say 'Hey, you guys tapped me for a reason. Let me be that reason instead of you guys trying turning me into a typical politician,'" she said.

    if he does win in November 2016 and is forced to assemble a cabinet of GOP allies, he knows exactly whom he would call on: Sarah Palin.

    When asked on Sarah Palin’s Mama Grizz Radio’s “The Palin Update” Monday whether he would seek the former Alaska governor’s advice as president or potentially appoint her to an executive-branch position, Trump said, “I’d love that.”

    “She’s really somebody who knows what’s happening. She’s a special person. She’s really a special person. And I think people know that and she’s got a following that’s unbelievable,” he continued.

    “I’m looking at some of these candidates, they’re weak, they’re ineffective and to a degree that’s almost hard to believe. And, you know, they like the Sarah Palin kind of strength. You just don’t see very much of it anymore,” Trump mused.

    He noted that Palin has come up in his interactions on the campaign trail. “I’ve still got people saying, ‘Oh, get Sarah’s support, get Sarah’s support.’ No matter where I go, everybody loves her.”

    Also in 2011, Palin praised Trump’s demand that President Barack Obama to release his birth certificate. “Media: Admit it. Trump forced the issue,” she tweeted after the president did so.

    Palin declined to criticize’s Trump’s attack on her 2008 running mate, Arizona Sen. John McCain

    (Somebody pull that knife out of McCain's back. On second thought leave Palin's knife in him after what he did to America)
