John Legend, the American superstar, characterized former United States President Donald Trump as a "long-standing, deeply ingrained racist." Legend asserted that Trump had displayed racist behaviors well before assuming the presidency, citing instances where he allegedly denied access to his facilities to black individuals in the past. Furthermore, Legend suggested that the Republican candidate in the forthcoming U.S. presidential elections "unequivocally subscribes to the notion of a genetic hierarchy among humans."
John Legend criticized Donald Trump's immigration policy as deeply rooted in racism.
"He [Donald Trump] has consistently demonstrated his belief in the inferiority of black people throughout his life. This belief is ingrained in him, to the very core," John Legend stated, as reported by Daily Loud.
Legend pointed out Trump's history of denying housing to black individuals in his buildings and highlighted Trump's remarks that suggest a belief in a racial hierarchy among humanity.
"He is undoubtedly a steadfast, deeply ingrained racist. Racism is at the essence of his being. I'm not interested in hearing about his supposed contributions to the black community; he has done very little for us. At his core, he is truly a racist," Legend continued.
He also noted Trump's comments on immigration, observing that Trump's preferences for immigrants from predominantly white countries further underscore his racial biases.
On November 5th, Donald Trump would compete against incumbent Joe Biden of the Democratic Party under the banner of the Republican Party, marking America's first rematch election in nearly 70 years.
