Boy, you are spot-on on this. I do not watch the show, but I have been reading about it and discussed it with a family member.

ABW and BABW-a go-go on this stupid show.

Blacks themselves and guilt-ridden Liberals always use the race card, but how many of them would admit to using it to gain power leverage? Hardly none of them. I see this as a BIG problem in society these days. We can’t move forward ’til these horrible idiots admit that they use the race card in a racist way.

Racism sucks no matter how one slices it. Using it to bully otherwise fine people IS NOT COOL. To be on an equal playing field all these games MUST STOP.

So does anti-Semitism.

Donald Trump has no problems with both.

What people see in him, I’ll never figure out.

After all, this guy fixed a contest last year to give us Miss Hezbollah, USA!

NormanF on March 21, 2011 at 9:22 pm

You’re reading too much into a worthless tv show to make your weak point about ‘racism’…

Minnie on March 21, 2011 at 9:35 pm

This show is still on the air… and Trump is still “considered” relevant??? Doesn’t surprise me he would do this when he promotes Islam with his pageant show just to pander to the Muslims. Wouldn’t be shocked if he has the same “business partner” at Murdock (or at least the equivalent thereof).

Pats on March 21, 2011 at 10:12 pm

Debbie,

Thanks for the summation.

I am spared the torment of watching such a program, for I don’t watch “Apprentice” in its various incarnations. I saw a few minutes a few years ago and it was so lame it did not hold my interest and I moved on to something else, like watching paint dry, or watching an exciting “Curling” tournament, or staring at dots on the wall (grin).

I am not surprised at the behavior you described coming from the Klan with the Tan, as Dr. Walter Williams calls such things, dark skinned individuals who are overtly and actively racist in throught, word, and deed, a la those you describe, as well as the New Black Panther Party, Black Muslims, NAACP, Al “Big Mouth, “Shakedown” Sharpton, Jesse “I Have a Scheme” Jackson, Calypso Louis Farakhan the Jew and Israel hater, Racist extraordinaire, black actors, black musicians, black politicans, et all, all pushing things black – obsessed with ethnocentrism to the exclusion of rational thought.

Hispanics fall into that category as well. Every form of dissent from the “Special, Preferred Group Status” is met with cries of “Racism,” and “Xenophobia,” and “Immigrant hatred,” etc.

My wife’s family is from Asia. They are here as legal citizens who followed the law. When people claim that those of us who want our constitution followed, and immigration laws enforced for our security, prosperity, and preservation of our national identity, unity, and culture, are against Immigrants or against Immigration, they are betraying their insincereity, their dishonesty, and their malevolence. We don’t hate or have a problem with any old Immigrant or immigration in and of itself, for many of our spouses, friends, and family are immigrants. Many of our parents and other ancestors are immigrants. My family is mixed European from France, Britain, Ireland, etc., as well as so-called “Native American,” which makes me a mongrel. I was born here with a rich immigrant and so-called “Native American” ancestry. I am the husband of an Asian women who loves the US, whose parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc., worked hard to come to the USA, a better place than their homes in China, Burma (Mayanmar), Vietnam, Thailand, and other Asian nations in which her family members lived before being approved to come her legally.

Anyway, my wife’s grandfather, relaxing in their tiny backyard in Chinatown in a major US city, was attacked by at leas two black males who traspassed onto their property. He was beaten so badly that he nearly died at that time. He suffered terribly. For the remaining years after that beating from those black thugs he was in terrible pain and discomfort. The thugs got away with it, for that city’s police department did not find them, and to my knowledge, they appear to have had no real interest in finding the thugs-perps who abused this frail old man, left him damaged, and force upon him continued pain, suffering, and discomfort for the rest of his remaining days as a senior citizen.

My father-in-law was also robbed on an elevator in that major city’s shopping mall.

I have hated watching black and Hispanic “comedians. They tend to use insults and attacks against Whites and Asians – Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Koreans, etc., quite frequently, and the audience laughs, and they get away with it. Just let anyone who is Asian, Caucasian, etc., make jokes about blacks or Hispanics like that and see what happens!

Any way, it is clear that the Klan with the Tan gets special consideration from the government, media, etc., and that they have a strong influence in censoring free speech, attacking the victim of their choice, and getting away with their racist behavior.

People are too afraid to deal with them and stand up to them, as they are afraid to stand up to Islamofascists and their willing accomplices in the media, leftists, entertainment industry, etc.

Ward Connerly, and other black, Hispanic, Asian, etc., civil rights, anti-racism persons are often insulted for their interracial marriages, and their spouses are often attacked and insulted as well, another example of black, Hispanic, and leftist racism.

The Klan with the Tan have been enambled for a while now, and their bad behavior is rampant.

William on March 21, 2011 at 11:25 pm

Donald acts as if he hit a home run in life, but his Daddy started him at third base as a kid. I don’t watch his show, am not amused by him and does anyone think he would really run for president? BORING!

#1 Vato on March 21, 2011 at 11:36 pm

Ward Connerly, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, and others considered Conservatives, are often the target of black, Hispanic, and leftist hatred, vile insults and language, and death threats, reprimands for not acting like their own kind, and other nonsense. It is pathetic!

Regarding my wife’s grandfather, mentioned above, after his beating at the hand of the thugs who treapassed into their tiney backyard in Chinatown, he had great difficulty breathing for the years after that assault until he passed away. Those nasty thugs got away with beating that frail old man!

Who is always obsessed with race, has a higher incident of violent behavior, etc.?

In violent interracial crimes which involve blacks and whites, blacks are more than 90% of the time the perpetrators of the attack – assault, battery, rape, robbery, murder, etc., while whites are more than 90% of the time the victim. In black neighborhoods they have bars and grates on the shop windows and doors, as well as the residence entrances, windows, etc.

Why are the grates and bars on those businesses’ doors and windows and those homes’ doors and windows? To keep Asians out? To keep Caucasians out?

No.

Those grates and bars on the doors and windos are there to keep the rif raf in their neighborhoods and nearby neighborhoods out.

True, there are many blacks, Hispanics, etc. who are not like that, but there is a large contingent who are members of the Klan with the Tan, and who attack those who are conservative, for not having their mind right and for not knowing their “place.”

How sick!

William on March 21, 2011 at 11:38 pm

Trump is a filthy liar. He was on Fox & Friends this morning bragging that he made Qaddafi pay alot of money for use of the land in NYC that he needed for his tents, when he was allowed to speak at the UN. Trump then stated that he then turned around and denied him the land because he wanted to. Bullshit, he was forced by the town council to do so. Some grandpa he will make for his 1st Jewish grandchild.

NB: He also lied when he got caught renting to Qaddafi, first saying he did not rent to him, then claiming he didn’t know about it, etc.

NancyB on March 22, 2011 at 12:25 am

Well this confirms that I lost faith in people.

Squirrel3D on March 22, 2011 at 12:31 am

How about somebody in his inner circle suggesting to him that he repeat the above exercise, but this time substituting Whites w/ Muslims?

That’s a reality show I’d love to watch!!!

Infidel Pride on March 22, 2011 at 7:50 am

My wife and I met him in a professional setting, where he gave a speech. He is loud, crude, and rude. He is a vile individual, who, had he not had a business to step into, would never have been heard from.

Jonathan Grant on March 22, 2011 at 8:36 am

Oh and did you forget HE GAVE MONEY TO RAHM EMMANUEL…NOW THE MAYOR OF CHITCAGO!

Bob Porrazzo on March 22, 2011 at 8:40 am

Trump is the only candidate who want to stop Chinas cheating at trade (they’ve manipulated currency rates for 40 years). All the other candidates are panzies on China. I’ll have to examine his ideas and history about terrorism.

Truth on March 22, 2011 at 9:35 am

I watched The Apprentice the first few seasons. After about 4 seasons where the winners were white males and the Blacks were eliminated early, Trump made sure the next winner was going to be Black. He pitted a Black man, Randall, who already headed a successful company and had an ivy league education against a bunch of incompetent white boobs. I knew from the first episode that the fix was in and I was right. I stopped watching after that.

John on March 22, 2011 at 10:52 am

John, I noticed that too. As much as I liked seeing educated and poised Black folks doing well in America and overcoming negative stereotypes, it did seem the decked was stacked when Randall Pinkette won. I also noticed that the first Apprentice winner who was Black, Kwama Jackson, had a Harvard MBA.

With this current crop of Black women, I don’t know how much of their behavior is racist verses them being just all around unpleasant people (“constant b**ch mode” as Debbie put it). I know folks in Houston who encountered Star Jones before she became a “celebrity”, and they have nothing good to say about her and her attitude. And this “Real Housewife of Atlanta” woman Ne-Ne is so ghetto that she probably puts her food stamps in a money clip. Last I heard, Star Jones had some kind of restraining order on Ne-Ne; that’s how intense things get on the show this season. These are not pleasant people to begin with, so any bigoted behavior they exhibit is not surprising. A bad tree produces bad fruit…

The media is in a feeding frenzy now because reality shows that feature people behaving badly draw high ratings, and shows showing Black women behaving badly draw especially high ratings (gee….thanks Omarosa!). Witness the success of shows like “I Love New York”, “Real Housewives of Atlanta”, “Basketball Wives” etc. I guess Mr. Trump, ever the businessman, decided to take advantage of this trend to put even more money in his pocket. From the one Apprentice show I saw this season, it really looked like a couple of the White chicks were too easily intimidated. They really needed to stand up for themselves against was I viewed as some bullying behavior. Was it race-based bullying? Who knows? But any encounter between Blacks and Whites will be judged through the prism of race, even if race was not the main motivating factor for the incident. But whatever was the motive, it was disgraceful…

But given this country’s history, should we be surprised that people of all colors are infected with the virus of racism? As one commentator said above, racism sucks no matter who it comes from

Ida P Wells on March 22, 2011 at 12:02 pm

In general women more so than men let personal squabbles/jealousies/insecurities factor into business decisions.

I am no fan of Star Jones but I did watch the show and I did see Niki Taylor unfairly berate Dionne Warwick. She made herself a target by doing so.

George on March 22, 2011 at 2:00 pm

WHATEVER ONE PERSONALLY feels about Donald Trump as the next US president, he’s got these issues right,

1) Countries that need American military intervention or protection NEED to pay for it, today. Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Libya, South Korea, South Vietnam, Afghanistan etc. or CANADA…these prosperous oil or mineral rich countries that COULD EASILY pay for the American military intervention they received…NEED to pay up. TODAY.

2) Return the manufacturing sector to America by making China pay for patent theft, software theft, entertainment industry related theft and whatever else is being stolen by the Chinese and others! Then American manufacturers could compete when everybody plays by the same rules. Then sweat shops would never exist.

3) The people of America…are America’s greatest resource and need to have their medical care, provided for, free of charge. No American family should have to go bankrupt so that lil’ Suzie gets proper care. Funds for this large undertaking can be acquired from the non-payers above.

4) He’s hawkish on the American military.

5) End OPEC ripping off the American consumer.

6) Establish real working plans to reduce the American deficit.

7) Win back respect for America— no more Obama style grovelling.

Etc.

AT LEAST The Donald has some ideas~

The Canadien on March 22, 2011 at 2:18 pm

Debbie – Thank you for the article! My wife and I watch the Celebrity Apprentice show and I pointed out the other night the same thing that you did – that at least 3 of the black women were ganging up on the white gals. I suspected this with Rinna but when they went after Taylor, I was convinced. Of course, Trump is such a phoney and a moral slob of a human being who will tolerate this racism. And he promotes lying and throwing others under the bus by firing those who accept responsibility or admit shortcomings. America is ill and he is one of its boils. If he runs for President, he’ll get less than 5% in the primaries.

ConcernedCitizen on March 23, 2011 at 10:14 am

You all on this site must be Palin Followers… Donald and his show is not racists. You morons on this site are the ones that are racist…. You people on this site are insane and stupid…. God help us…

Dan on March 24, 2011 at 1:59 am

Ms Debbie, I honestly think that you are giving Donald way too much credit to sit down and conciously orchestrate this. Lisa Rinna was Weak, and didnt defend herself lol. Come on Debbie!
Second, its all about ratings, so hes going to find the most undesireable personalities to clash, you know that. Please dont spend time searching and spelunking for racial controversy thats not there. (BlackMan 35)

D Vinson on April 4, 2011 at 2:28 pm

Make that 8 million and 1 moronic viewers. You forgot to count yourself.

Brad on April 14, 2011 at 5:15 pm

Debbie if you were actually watching the show, you would see Nikki left on her own will and Liza just gave up! Unfortunately the black women they chose to be on the show have strong made for tv, personalities! ( just to draw an audience)…. NBC feels that mixing strong personalities with weak ones, makes good tv..and that is basically what it is all about. Donald Trump is a racist to me because of the idiotic comments he has made about President Baraka Obama. Never have I ever heard of a president being questioned and disrespected as Obama has. Get over yourself. If they were all white women being nasty and mean to each other (which in most cases they usually are) would you still call him out? Are is it just more noticeable because the black women. How about calling NBC racist for their terrible casting?

Taryn on April 30, 2011 at 1:56 am

This is the most ridiculous article I’ve ever read!!!

Blacks are always whining that there aren’t enough black faces on TV. But now Trump is being called a racist because he INCLUDES black people on his show? Huh?

And how is he responsible for their behavior on the show? If the black women gang up on the white women, how is that Trump’s fault?

And by the way – I didn’t see that. In my opinion, the black women were ganging up on OTHER black women. They got rid of Latoya Jackson and the legendary singer Diana Warwick.

Debbie, you really need to get a clue and stop screaming “racism” every time the wind blows.

Bannister on May 1, 2011 at 2:17 pm

Ok here goes nothing. Women hate women. If you had 5 white women in there and 1 black it might have gone in a different direction. Go watch charm school or Flavor of Love and report back your findings. I watch it between all my wifes female friends. I watch it on facebook and on the news. I would not use a BS show based on a BS rating system as my litmus test for racism.
In your story about the black park ranger stating national parks are racist you say “if you look deep enough for racism you’re find.”
I think you just did that with this story.
