Top 10 Most Racist U.S. Presidents
The Top Ten
Andrew Jackson was an American statesman who served as the seventh President of the United States from 1829 to 1837 . He was born near the end of the colonial era, somewhere near the then-unmarked border between North and South Carolina, into a recently immigrated Scots-Irish farming family of relatively ...read more. Jackson was definitely a racist! I've never understood why he's remained on the twenty dollar bill! America and Americans are a racist people, more so than any other nation and it not evolved until it admits to its terrorism. The United States of America will not and can not go forward until it has confessed it sins against "people of color"! Beginning with the Native Americans and ending with Muslims!
Well. Well. Well... I though Donald Trump would get number one for being the most racist United States of America President ever. But looks who's number one.
He was a killing machine against the American Indians
By the end of this year, Donald Trump will be in this spot - NicholasYellow
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th President of the United States. Born and raised in Queens, New York City, Trump received an economics degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. In 1971, ...read more. It's elementary that "45" is racist (I refuse to say his name). You know a tree by the fruit it bears and he has been bearing bad fruit all of his life, racism, lying, cheating workers, stealing, cheating on wife's, blasphemy...
I mean Donald trump is clearly a corrupted racist president, it's honestly sad to see how far America has fallen since this nut was sworn into office.
We (Liberals) did not, because, like Andrew Jackson, there are many worse presidents. Trump just pisses us off, he does not commit mass murder.
Number 1. He is mentally 2 years old, he thinks ALL muslims are ISIS but they're not all, he hates Mexicans they helped build the US, He is sexist, his supporters are stupid, he know nothing about politics, He said he would bang his daughter if she wasn't his daughter, He works with our crazy Vice President (Mike Pence), He makes stupid ideas, He wants to make women have unfair rights, He thinks anyone Mexican even U.S Mexicans should be deported, He is thinking any immigrant cannot get a U.S citizenship. - SoloPotato
John Tyler was the tenth President of the United States. He was also, briefly, the tenth Vice President, elected to that office on the 1840 Whig ticket with William Henry Harrison. It is truly sad that some people think that a the man who betrayed the country and joined the Confederacy is less racist than the self-proclaimed "least racist person on Earth."
Basically any president before Abe Lincoln was racist and even after him most were still racist. Donald Trump shouldn't be so high on this list. We are living in a completely different time period now. Study your history, libs. - lannypetersong
I see he owned a black slave. - TeamRocket747

You all thought Donald Trump was racist? Look at THIS guy who tried to kick people out of his land just because of the color of their skin. Now tell me what/who's more Racist? - B1ueNew
Basically delayed African American rights by 100 years.
The most racists president of the United States of America.
Barack Hussein Obama II served as the 44th president of the United States of America. He was elected in 2008 after serving in the Senate from 2005-08, beating John McCain and becoming the first African-American to be elected President of the United States. He was elected again in 2012, beating Mitt ...read more. To all the ones who think he is not. All you have to do is look at the racism of before his presidency, and after. You can clearly see a difference. After 9-11 happened, the country became closer together then ever. Now it is blown apart, and split into several different groups. A person does not have to say anything about race to be a racist. They can do it through actions too. Just like they say 'Actions Speak Louder Than Words', and his actions speak for 8 years. He has a lot of deep hatred, if you actually read about him, or read anything he has written. He was raised by his grandparents, who were white and wealthy, yet he wants to make reference to white privilege and call out the same type of people he was raised by, that is ungrateful. If he would not have been raised the way he was, he would not have been president. His whole life would have been different. I think he should be grateful for what he has, and the people who helped him along the way. Kinda funny he makes into the ...more
President Obama is NOT a racist and has done nothing racist as president. He has the courage to face the fact that the United States is burdened with a history and a legacy of overt and covert racism. He is brave enough to admit we have at different time institutionalized racism (slavery, Jim Crow, racial stereotyping) and inherited a systemic defacto racism that is hurting the country. He has the guts to try to correct that. What is racist is the denial his opponents revel in when they identify positive efforts toward corrections as racism. Denial is the firewall of the coward. - copper
No he wasn't racist. You American think because he sided with the Muslims. (Mujhadeen. That's what we call people fighting war for Islam A.K.A Jihad). Best one in line of U.S Presidents
He clearly sided with jihadist. When he went to india, he ignored massacre of Hindus but mentioned Indian retaliation of terrorism. He supported Islamic terrorism.
Richard Milhous Nixon was the 37th President of the United States from 1969 until his resignation in 1974, the only president to resign from office. He had previously served as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961, and prior to that as a U.S. Representative and also Senator ...read more. I don't know why old tricky dick is on here. Being the fact that during Nixons time as President who enforced Federal Court orders on forced school integration in the South in 1969-70, and enforced forced busing of White kids to Black schools to achieve "racial diversity" in schools. He also enforced the first major Affirmative Action programs in 1970 when he forced the Pennsylvania White Construction Workers Trade Union to admit Black members by a certain time table. Now it is true that Nixon was racist in his personal life but that's it.
This guy was overthrown so bad that he resigned from his job and left us in large debt. He was also a racist in some ways but he was just a bad president. - SoloPotato
He was caught on tape saying abortion is wrong except if it's interracial.
Nixon had used ethnic slurs, such as the N-word and the K-word (Jews).
Thomas Woodrow Wilson was an American politician and academic who served as the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. Born in Staunton, Virginia, he spent his early years in Augusta, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina. Probably the most racist President who was actually a college president. So much for education.
He was a member Of the KKK; but so were other presidents.
Probably number 2 on the list. Segregated the military and the federal government. Fought women's right to vote.
I was shocked when I found out about this. - Synchronocity
Zachary Taylor was the 12th President of the United States, serving from March 1849 until his death in July 1850. Before his presidency, Taylor was a career officer in the United States Army, rising to the rank of major general. Whit people are
"Whit people are"
That's also racist. Just because most white people are racist, all of us whites are?
George Washington was the first President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. While George Washington did own slaves, he treated them benevolently and set them free in his will.
All of the first several presidents (except Adams and Quincy Adams) owned slaves.
What is Washington doing here?!?!?!
He's not racist at all!
Stephen Grover Cleveland was an American politician and lawyer who was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States, the only president in American history to serve two non-consecutive terms in office.The Contenders
Lower than Lincoln? Why? Lincoln was the opposite of racist. He freed the slaves. This guy was apart of the KKK. - B1ueNew
Lincoln was pressured into freeing slaves, he didn't want equal rights - checool124
How is he not number 1? He was apart of the KKK for crying out loud. He makes Andrew Jackson look like a SJW. - B1ueNew

He pushed for anti-KKK legislation...
George Walker Bush is an American politician who served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 and 46th Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000. The eldest son of Barbara and George H. W. George W. Bush got a problem with black people and doesn't care about them at all. Plus, he is the most immature United States president that has ever been elected.
I'm not a fan of him but I don't think he's racist.
This man doesn't care about black people! Have you seen how he handled that hurricane back in 2005? Unbelievable. Bush should be in the top 10 instead of Obama. I'm not saying Obama is great, but still. - yaygiants16
Kanye West would agree - iliekpiez
William Howard Taft served as the 27th President of the United States and as the tenth Chief Justice of the United States, the only person to have held both offices. He announced in his inaugural speech that he would not appoint blacks to federal Posts as Republicans before him had and he did not appoint any. He appointed ex-Confederate soldiers to the Supreme Court and began the wave of Blacks turning away from the Republican party toward the Democrats. He sent troops to Cuba to help during the Negro rebellion during which thousands of blacks were slaughtered. He was the most racist President who knew and admitted he was racist.
He send blacks to south and sold them for money
He use to yell at blacks and call them a sham.
Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911-2004) was an American politician and actor who was 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989 . Prior to his presidency, he was the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, following a career as a Hollywood actor and union leader until his death in 2004 Reagan supported the Apartheid Government in South Africa, that along proves he is a racist president. Even in an audio that recently surfaced with a conversation involving him and Nixon which he said 'Monkey' by referring to African Americans makes him a total racist buffoon. He is outright a race divider
He let guerillas ship tonnes of cocaine into inner cities. Then, he mass incarcerated black people with crack-cocaine ratio laws.
What? Reagan was a great man! - DoroExploro13
Defender of "corporate welfare queens".
Lyndon Baines Johnson, often referred to as LBJ, was the 36th President of the United States from 1963 to 1969, assuming the office after serving as the 37th Vice President of the United States under President John F.

Made lots of racist jokes.
Why? He signed a ton of civil rights bills. - I80
Thomas Jefferson was an American Founding Father who was principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and served as the 3rd President of the United States from 1801-1809. He was born on April 13, 1743, and died on July 4, 1826, on the same day 2nd United States President John Adams died. Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence; proclaiming that all men (white) are created equal. Jefferson, a student of Thomas Locke, who believed that man's natural state is to be free - Jefferson who owed lots, and lots of slaves; Jefferson who predicted that the country would come to blows over slavery; Jefferson the hypocrite. Jefferson who liked (loved) black women; Jefferson who father numerous children by black slave women.
Don't we all hate hypocrites.
Rascism was his only flaw.
James Buchanan, Jr. was the 15th President of the United States, serving immediately prior to the American Civil War. His actions before the end of his term all favoring the south
He should be in the top ten.
"Slavery is an issue of little practical importance"
- President Buchanan, a few years before the Civil War.
Franklin Pierce was the 14th President of the United States. Pierce was a northern Democrat who saw the abolitionist movement as a fundamental threat to the unity of the nation. Ere
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. Although he did not believe in blacks and whites having equal rights, he still shouldn't be at #20. Or, even on this list.
Know your facts guys, Lincoln was pressured into freeing slaves. He in no way wanted blacks to have equal rights as whites - checool124
Revisionist history at work. George Orwell would be so proud.
A butthurt KKK put this here because he freed the slaves. Nope. Lincoln was amazing for doing that. Racist idiots. - B1ueNew

He locked up a lot Japanese-Americans during WW II and there wasn't a single incident of sabatoge by Japanese-Americans during that time!

Well This Guy Died After 31 Days In Office But Before That He Tried To Legalize Slavery In Indiana Also Killed Native American Leader During The War Of 1812 And That’s When They Were Fighting Against Britain
Probably the most racist President we've ever had! He sure did everything he could to start a war with Mexico as a pretense to steal their land! Although, it is not 1848, the same treachery continues today in the Southwest. Many heirs to Spanish land grants are still fighting to regain their rights to "common lands" given to them by the Spanish crown before the Mexican American War.
He did the same prejudice things richard nixon did
Harry S. Truman was the 33rd President of the United States, an American politician of the Democratic Party. Dropping the atomic bomb is not racist, like Cobalt said, but he was part of the KKK - TeamRocket747
