Top 10 Most Racist U.S. Presidents
Number 1. He is mentally 2 years old. He thinks all Muslims are ISIS, but they're not all. He hates Mexicans, who helped build the US. He is sexist. His supporters are stupid. He knows 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 any Mexican, even U.S. Mexicans, should be deported. He thinks any immigrant cannot get a U.S. citizenship.
Sure, Mexico has a Drug War to deal with, but this racist does not care. He keeps Mexicans out of the United States, at least some. Still, though, not a cool move. If they stay in Mexico, it is likely that they will die because of drug cartels. But the USA is like this without noticing it, "Let them die. They deserve it." There are immigrants from Mexico coming to the United States to stay safe. Why is he on Number 7? He should be on Number 1.
The indisputable answer. You think Trump is number one? Wilson single-handedly resegregated the government, aired Birth of a Nation in the White House, invited the KKK to the White House, promoted Jim Crow, led to the resurgence of the KKK across America, and the list goes on.
While Trump is definitely bigoted and xenophobic, and Jackson was extremely racist even for his times, Wilson was exceptionally racist. He segregated his entire cabinet and any branch in government, ignored various lynchings and Black rights at that time, and stated that A Birth of a Nation is culturally accurate. He was our most racist president.
Andrew Jackson is the most racist president in US history. He really does not deserve to be on a twenty dollar bill because the reality of what he did back in the day was truly awful. The Trail of Tears became a foundation of a racist image favored by the Democrats. Thousands, if not millions, of Native Americans were forced out of their land and had to walk nonstop interstate. Most of them died on the way due to starvation. But he is just a racist.
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 its sins against "people of color"! Beginning with the Native Americans and ending with Muslims!
The worst president ever! We wouldn't have needed a civil rights movement if it weren't for this jackass. He undid everything Lincoln had tried to do for African Americans. I can't believe he was Lincoln's vice president!
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?
He was sympathetic towards White Southerners, and he tried to deny every amendment that was designed to give equality to the recently liberated slaves.
To all the ones who think he is not, all you have to do is look at the racism before his presidency, and after. You can clearly see a difference. After 9-11 happened, the country became closer together than 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 it into the top 3 on this list, when everyone says he is not a racist.
How is James Buchanan down here?
This guy was overthrown so badly that he resigned from his job and left us in large debt. He was also racist in some ways but he was just a bad president.
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).
Reagan supported the Apartheid government in South Africa. That alone proves he is a racist president. Even in an audio recording that recently surfaced with a conversation involving him and Nixon, where he referred to African Americans as monkeys, he reveals himself as a total racist buffoon. He is outright a race divider.
He let guerrillas ship tons of cocaine into inner cities. Then, he mass incarcerated black people with crack-cocaine ratio laws.
I cannot believe Lyndon Johnson, who was one of the least racist presidents ever, is above this man. Reagan might have done some good stuff, but he was extremely racist.
He should be higher. I saw it in the category about white supremacists on Wikipedia.
bro if you read the caption he would have to be no. 1 by a mile. Supported segregation in schools, called black kids roaches, called people of color jungle animals, opposed busing, called black people n-words, and said he wants to put black people back in chains like come on man can you be any more racist than that yet somehow gets out ranked by reagan.
Joe Biden instigates racism through any opportunity. This includes any crimes between blacks and whites, for example, when a white man shoots a black man. HE USES A FALSE NARRATIVE OF RACISM THROUGH THE MEDIA. He ignores the facts. If a black man shoots a white man, nothing is heard in the media. Also, he uses schools to teach white students to hate themselves because they are white and undeserving. Worst President to date!
Surprised he's so low. Yes, policy-wise he did things for Civil Rights, but he also used the N-word frequently, and I think that's more indicative of the man.
He used the "N" word so many times, yet he supported the Civil Rights Act.
Johnson should be in the top three. He was one of the most racist presidents we've ever had.
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.
It is truly sad that some people think that a man who betrayed the country and joined the Confederacy is less racist than the self-proclaimed "least racist person on Earth."
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.
He locked up a lot of Japanese Americans during World War II, and there wasn't a single incident of sabotage by Japanese Americans during that time! Why didn't he gather up Italians or German Americans and place them in internment camps? I would say Franklin D. Roosevelt was a racist!
Let's be real, while he did some great things, the internment stuff is just terrible. Trump or Biden at their most malicious would never come close to treating Japanese people like farm animals by roping them up in a "camp".
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.
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.
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 used to yell at blacks and call them a sham.
Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, proclaimed that all men (white) are created equal. Jefferson, a student of Thomas Locke, believed that man's natural state is to be free. Jefferson, who owned 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 fathered numerous children by Black slave women.
While he did free the slaves, he also thought that white people were better than Black people. I do still respect him. Even though he thought that white people were better, he never thought that they should be slaves and did think they should have rights. He might have been extremely racist, but he had some morality.
Know your facts, guys. Lincoln was pressured into freeing slaves. He in no way wanted blacks to have equal rights as whites.
Revisionist history at work. George Orwell would be so proud.
Dropping the atomic bomb on Japan wasn't racism, by the way.
Dropping the atomic bomb is not racist, like Cobalt said, but he was part of the KKK.
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 was related to J. Edgar Hoover who was prejudiced. He was one of the worst presidents in history because he caused a great depression.
