The recent presidential debates between Biden and Trump have sparked controversy with their remarks on the war in Gaza and immigration. Biden accused Hamas of prolonging the conflict, while Trump likened Biden to a weak Palestinian. This comment was criticized as a racial slur.
Trump also faced backlash for his comments on immigration, claiming immigrants were taking “black jobs” and “Hispanic jobs.” Human rights advocates condemned these remarks, with the NAACP questioning the concept of specific jobs based on race.
The debate highlighted the rise of Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian bias, and racism in the US. Amnesty International and civil rights organizations denounced Trump’s statements as rooted in white supremacy.
As the election approaches, Biden and Trump’s rhetoric on critical issues like immigration have sparked polarization and drawn attention to the need for respectful and inclusive discourse in American politics.
