If you said that left-wingers were more secretly racist, that is a claim that might be taken seriously at least. But you said OPENLY racist.
Leftists are more openly racist, they will unabashedly talk about straight white males, and even act confused when you point out the hypocrisy.
Last I checked, the Democratic party did not have it on track record to enact an immigration ban on Muslim countries,
You should probably check again. The ban was on 7 countries that supported and harbored the most terrorists, and it’s the same 7 countries that the Obama Administration listed as the most dangerous countries. Obama and Trump actually had similar views on immigration, but the mainstream media didn’t report it that way.
that white nationalists were fine people.
Now I can tell that you get your political information from social media. Here is the actual quote.
"There were very fine people on both sides, &
I'm not talking about the Neo-nazis and white supremacists because they should be condemned totally."

Nice generalization. This is no different from anyone who is right wing being a racist against anyone who is not white. Anyone can be racist or bigoted regardless of political party.
There are many lies spread about Obama that were untrue also. Funny thing is I do not see people like yourself flock to his defense like you do about Trump.

We are in agreement that is should be no different. Racism is Racism regardless of who is doing it, and who the target it. But thats not how they are being handled. Racism towards non whites has basically been pushed out of society, as it should be. Its not socially acceptable to voice racist opinions, or be racist. There are consequences etc etc. But people are comfortable openly being racist towards white people, and even when it's called out, the mental gymnastics start. "it's not the same because of history""white people are the top of the racial hierarchy" etc.
It may be a bit of generalization, but that type of racism comes from that side. Is it everyone? Of course. Not everyone on the left is far left. But the more moderate left wingers don't speak up against the far left either, which is why they are taking over that side.
Personally Im loyal to my own beliefs, and the truth. Not to any political party. If I saw someone intentionally taking an Obama quote out of context to make it look like he said something that he didn't, I would call that out too. But lets be honest. Obama was one of the most protected presidents of all time. He didn't anywhere near the amount of Trump, or even Biden gets.

I disagree about racism against other non whites completely being pushed out. Or even basically being pushed out. Do I think that it is way better than it used to be? Absolutely! However tons of people are still comfortable voicing reasons as to why they do not like minorities in movies. Case in point. Plenty of people were comfortable in complaining that Zoe Kravitz was casted as Catwoman. Before even a trailer was released a set photo revealed or a p[lot thread laid out people screamed woke! Catwoman's race is not essential yet they had a heart attack. https://moviechat.org/tt1877830/The-Batman/5dde519709e87d49d1caf54d/Zoe-Kravitz-as-Catwoman

They were used to seeing her as white therefore she can't be interpreted any other way. If she is not white it is woke by default. Which is funny considering Eartha Kitt and in the Year One comic she is not white. If this was a historical figure where the race was essential then you have the right to get upset. Notice no one made that big of a stink about Rooney Mara playing Tigerlily in the movie Pan? See the double standard?
There are plenty of anti=sjw woke grifting youtube channels that gladly say offensive things that the right is radio silent on. People like Steven Crowder, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens spout lies constantly. Fuentes straight up is a racist bigot yet they let him slide.
I also do not believe Obama was the most protected president of all time. Alex Jones spread plenty of lies about him and people still stand by him. Do I think he gets less flak than Trump or Biden? Perhaps but most protected president ever? No I do not buy that. I will call out any lie against any president regardless of if I even disagree with their ideology. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Trump spread lies about Obama's birth certificate yet no one cared. Promoting dumb conspiracy theories is common among right wing extremists.
