All this, a black PRESIDENT, and then...Trump...a blatant racist


the cause of civil rights is never ending.

Please give me evidence how Trump is a blatant racist ?

You do know that he nearly boycotted his country club years ago because they wouldn't let black or jews in ?

"He's a Mexican"....

I think this is a text book example of racism.

reply

actually, it's a textbook example of a judge who should recuse himself

Have you woken up meanwhile?

reply

Please write a proper sentence in English.

Done. Now, quickly take those uppers!

One day this country is going to wake up and realize there is a vast difference between the term "racism", which most people are wrongly accused of, and the term "prejudice", which is a varying degree of disdain for someone whose actions infringe on another's ability to exist in a legally acceptable manner of their own choosing; a feeling which has absolutely nothing to do with a person's skin tone, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or any other demographic category conveniently used by those yelling the loudest, caring the least and whose only motivation is their own self-aggrandizing economic or political gain.

And before you rush to disagree and use phrases you've cut and pasted from someone else with no understanding of their meaning, read what I wrote again and attempt to comprehend my point.

Unacceptable speech, behavior and/or the lack of respect for another's existence on this earth isn't limited to one certain race of people. Each group has it's less than desirable elements, and it is those individuals comprising the small destructive segments whom I'm "prejudiced" against.

While the line, "some of my best friends are Black", has somehow over time been twisted into being interpreted as a racist remark, when said sincerely within a context such as mine now to help fortify a point, it becomes as it should be, a personal declaration of fact.

Maybe those who see it as racist have a problem within themselves they need to deal with, or maybe they're part of that "self-aggrandizing" crowd I mentioned above who want to keep fanning the flames of the emotional fires which fill their pockets.

You had your black President for 8 years and he set race relations back 50 years. Biggest racist to ever hold the office. People call Trump a racist simply because he is a white man and they thought they'd have a woman in there next. Any white man elected will get called racist simply because radical leftists hate men and hate white people.

You're insane

Americans are a strange fickle bunch when they vote. When they have one president for the duration of their administration, they almost purposely gravitate to the furthest thing away from their vision for the nation when choosing a successor. Clinton was far removed from the Reagan/Bush ear; W. from Clinton; Obama was very far removed from Bush; and now we got Agent Orange. Hopefully in November the people decide to roll the dice with Sleepy Joe.

reply

right, because having a geriatric with dementia in office will help us all out so very much

reply

LOL Yeah, at his best Joe Biden was an idiot. At his worst, he is suffering from dementia.

reply

I still don't see how Trump is racist. I've never heard him say or, more importantly, do a racist thing.

reply

Insinuating that Obama is not a natural born citizen is a red flag.

reply

And why is that racist?

reply

Gee I dunno, his citizenship being firmly established?

reply

Ok but how is that racist? Any criticisms of any black person, no matter what, is considered racist? And it's not as if Trump made that up out of thin air. The Clinton campaign came up with that and it was on the inside jacket of Obama's own book! Again, what did Trump say or do that was racist?
