PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Former President Donald Trump's campaign faced a wave of criticism for a social media post many deemed overtly racist, reported The Independent.

Social media users blasted the content as offensive and out of touch, sparking intense debates about race and politics. On Tuesday, August 13, the Trump War Room shared a post featuring two contrasting images.

One depicted a peaceful suburban home adorned with an American flag, captioned "Your neighborhood under Trump." The other showed a group of African immigrants sitting outside a shelter in New York City, labeled "Your neighborhood under Kamala."

The caption read, "Import the Third World. Become the Third World." This stark juxtaposition, designed to evoke fear and distrust, was met with immediate criticism from social media users and organizations alike.

Civil rights organization NAACP responded promptly, highlighting the 'racism' inherent in the post.

They tweeted, "Don’t just take our word for it. They are showing all of us just how racist they are. This is what’s on the ballot this November."



 

The timing of this post, following Trump's contentious appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, only added fuel to the fire.

During his appearance at the convention, Trump was confronted by ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott regarding his history of incendiary remarks and misinformation.

When Scott asked why Black voters should trust him, Trump deflected, criticizing her for the question's tone. He claimed he attended the event as a gesture of respect towards the Black community.

However, his comments at the convention raised further eyebrows. He questioned Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity, suggesting she had only recently embraced her Black heritage.

"She happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?" he said. These remarks were widely condemned by both parties as racially charged.

Harris's campaign communications director swiftly responded, asserting that Trump's remarks reflected a long-standing pattern of hostility. At a campaign event in Texas, Harris criticized Trump, stating, "the American people deserve better than the same old show of divisiveness."

The controversial Trump campaign post sparked outrage across social media platforms.

One X user commented, "There have been Klan rallies which employed more subtlety than this," while another remarked, "This is just blatantly racist. Seriously gross."



 



 

Others expressed similar sentiments: "Truly wild how a political campaign for THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is this comfortable being openly and overtly racist," and "Trump campaign saw the Kamala poll numbers and recruited 150 Navy Yard interns to cook up the most racist messaging possible."



 



 

Another user stated, "This racist, hateful, and fear-mongering tweet is not only morally wrong but also politically tone-deaf," while others added, "Ah yes, the old peddling fear tactic. Works on most brain dead people," and "The racism is off the charts here! wow."
