Just because the slavemaster fed and clothed his slaves and produced offspring from his slave wenches didn't mean he wasn't still racist.
Trump doesn't have to be walking through Harlem with an AK47 shooting random Black folk to be a certifiable racist.
Do a google photo search of "Trump+Black+celebrities". Trump likes associating with Black athletes, entertainers, famous people, who have the ability to raise his media profile, get him photographed and give him the attention he craves.
Trump is less of a real estate developer and more of a media whore superstar wanna be.
Down South, it's still common for White politicians to be involved in outreach programs with impoverished Black communities, but they're still racist as fuck, as evidenced by their POLICIES while in office.
There's a reason why so many Black celebs who supported Trump's presidential run have backtracked on him, when they realized he was using them as a photo op.
The 'real' Trump has been known by everyone who cares to see since last January.
Per the NYT;

Trump treated black employees at his casinos differently from whites, according to multiple sources. A former hotel executive said Trump criticized a black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks.”
Who can forget Trump's racially motivated tweets against Obama?
An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.

Or the blatant lies he told about Obama when was a law student at Harvard and called him a terrible, lazy student??
Notice how Trump has a bad habit of overgeneralizing anything that has to do with minorities, whether it pertains to crime, employment, diseases or aptitude.
“Our inner cities, African Americans, Hispanics are living in hell because it’s so dangerous. You walk down the street, you get shot.” Trump also said to black voters: “You’re living in poverty; your schools are no good; you have no jobs.”
What sealed it for Trump being an out racist was his willingness to surround himself with White nationalists inside his WH in the form of Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller.
If Trump supporters want to act as if Trump only 'pretended' to be a racist to win the core base of the Republican party in the primaries, then Trump is truly a sick and twisted human being.
The problem is Trump isn't pretending. It's who he is and he's proud of it.
Wishing Trump wasn't racist isn't ever going to make it so.
And I wish Trump supporters would stop being so obsessed about whether or not Trump is a racist. 99% of all our former presidents were too, so in that sense Donald is among esteemed company.
