There is no evidence that reliable sources have compiled a list of racist statements made by American politicians. Surely this is far from complete as well. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 11:29, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The scope seems problematic because segregation and slavery were quite normal in the US for many years and so many statements would have this context. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:38, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DELETE The article starts off This article discusses topics and events in United States politics that deal with racism or are considered racist by some. Rather vague. Andrew Jackson was known to be racist against the Native Americans, that quite well documented. But most of this is just original research. Dream Focus 15:21, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I agree. The scope itself is an issue, and then there's the question of whether or not such a list is even useful in the first place. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 05:16, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Unnecessary list with too much original research. 🌺Kori🌺 - (@) 20:51, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- The whole thing has the feel of an ATTACK page, collecting up persons and quotation that the compiler does not like. It is necessary to bear in mind that before the Civil War, slavery was an institution in the South, which everyone there supported. Equally until the Civil Rights Act, action to keep black Americans in subjection was institutionalised there. The whole thing is a case of WP:OR.
