He\u2019s not a racist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true that the president did maintain something of a friendly relationship with Michael Jackson. Their paths are thought to have first crossed in 1988, when Trump attended Jackson\u2019s \u201cBad World Tour\u201d concert at Madison Square Garden, and Jackson later went on to live in Trump Tower in New York. <\/p>\n<p>Trump also defended Jackson from child sexual abuse accusations that first emerged against the singer in the 1990s and continued to dog his career right up to his death in 2009. The president stood by Jackson even as the scandals have marred his legacy, posting in 2015 an earlier photo of them together in which he described the pop star as \u201cvery misunderstood\u201d and \u201ca great talent.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>It is also true that Trump has faced repeated and often serious accusations of racism throughout both his time in office and during his earlier career as a real estate mogul and reality TV star.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=322\">Host Learns He\u2019s Won an Emmy During Live Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department, in 1973, in fact sued one of Trump\u2019s companies for allegedly refusing to rent to Black tenants and lying about apartment availability. <\/p>\n<p>Trump later took out newspaper ads in 1989 urging the death penalty for five Black and Latino teenagers after they were wrongfully accused of assaulting a white female jogger in Central Park. They became known as the Central Park Five and were eventually exonerated. <\/p>\n<p>A number of former Trump employees alleged discriminatory treatment of Black workers at his companies throughout the 1990s, including claims that managers at Trump\u2019s casinos would shoo Black staff from certain rooms when high-profile clients visited the venues.<\/p>\n<p>Trump first rose to prominence as a political force in the U.S. pushing baseless conspiracy theories that President Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen, though he was born in Hawaii. <\/p>\n<p>Trump has, throughout his time as a political figure, referred to Black neighborhoods as \u201cviolent hellholes\u201d and African nations as \u201cs\u2013thole countries.\u201d He has also posted videos depicting the Obamas as apes, and framed undocumented migrants as \u201ccriminals\u201d who are \u201cpoisoning the blood of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White, pressed on the Obama-ape post in his interview with Remnick over the weekend, doubled down on his defense of the president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know about the Obama thing, to speak on that,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen it. I didn\u2019t know that. But I can tell you this: He\u2019s not racist. He\u2019s not fascist. He loves this country. And if you\u2019re an American\u2014race, religion, whatever it is\u2014President Trump is on your team. That I can guarantee you.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>White\u2019s interview with The New Yorker comes ahead of the White House hosting a UFC event later in June to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
