No, that's not what I was implying. Maybe you misunderstood me which is understandable since I wrote it in a hurry. What i was trying to convey is how quick the opponents of public figures will fire accusations of racism and label the said leader a racist based on a external factors like white supremacists supporting one like Trump, and then labeling trump a racist because of it. Whereas those on the left don't get nearly as much grief from the race baiters as those in the right and center. For example when Harry Reid said our president was "fair toned and lacked a negro dialect," I can guarantee you that if he was not a democrat, MSNBC would of have him crucified and the bad PR would force him into resignation. Yet here is another example. Mr Byrd and white niggers. The fact that he even uttered the N word without any qualms, or consequences is awful. Especially when you look at his racist history he moved away from. The media would rather sweep leftist racism under the rug, so they can keep using the race card against anyone who stands in their way. If the left looks too racist, the race card becomes nullified. Secondly, he said niggers long after he convinced the world and the NAACP he was no longer a racist, and put his dark past behind him. Then our comes the N-bomb
I watched your video. What was your point about it? All I see is a few people being escorted out of a Trump rally while the crowd cheers and a nationalistic chant breaks out. Nothing new here.
That may be fair enough, I'd have to look up the context. Again, I'm not sure how Byrd was using the term, as his remark could be interpreted a number of different ways and he wasn't pressed on the issue. So I'm not convinced it was a racist remark, although it was a poor choice of words.
When a young guy grows up in an isolated white culture, participation in such groups can be more a sign of immaturity and wanting to fit in socially than any real hatred. Now we have the internet to prevent such an extreme degree of cultural isolation, so the young people of today have no such excuse. When did he say it? He was a member of my grandparents' generation. My grandparents grew up not knowing any other word to use in casual conversations about black people.
Alot of things...... THEN THE BASTARD HAS THE NERVE TO TELL THAT MEXICAN PRESENT TO APOLOGISE!!!!!!!! (And he does..... HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD TRUMP TO FUCK OFF!!) WHAT ABOUT HIM APOLOGISING FOR ALL THE CRAP HE HAS SAID??????? -- IM SICK OF THIS COUNTRY PUSHING THE WORLD AROUND!!!!!!!!!!
To not be able to see Trump's racism and sexism, I think you have to be so much of a racist and sexist that it all just sounds like normal conversation to you. It's like having a heavy accent. When you're around people who have the same accent, you don't hear it.
are you talking globally or on American soil? globally sure, but the majority of "terrorist" type attacks on U.S. soil have been committed by "homegrown" terrorists groups, quit a few of them declaring themselves to be "doing god's work" by bombing women's health centers and such. you should consider the persona you project if you are going to spout off about terrorists while sporting a gun & Bible as you profile pic. so have you bombed any abortion clinics this week?
Well I hate the Republican Party. I also think Donald Trouser Trump is a loudmouth and probably rather a bully. HOWEVER, he is infinitely better than the vile, corrupt witch Hitlery Clinton. Trump is being smeared because he is standing up to the forces of evil in America. The corrupt politic-military-bankster elite. The group that Hitlery represents yet tries to hide it with pathetic faux Liberalist agendas. Trump is just standing up for normal Americans over the disease of faux "Liberalism". So ofcourse, the elite will spin their lies. Trump's big "crime" is that he talks common sense. Sense that most people agree with.
So does the overcooked taco bowl qualify Trump as a racist? And where did such a thing even come from? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco_salad " A taco salad is an American dish.[1] It combines many ingredients commonly used in Tex-Mex tacos." ) Mashable did a hilarious examination of the Trump Tower grill Taco Bowl deal http://mashable.com/2016/05/05/trump-taco-bowl-wtf-why/#lTulPmsULPqd Take a look at the stuff in Trump's messy-ass office (mine's worse and includes a chain saw and a big bottle of gin that I will never drink). Somebody tweeted "That Donald Trump taco bowl is literally a wall built around Mexican food."
Well for one thing it wasn't all that peaceful. They were disrupters. And another thing is that Trump did not single out a Muslim in the middle of the crowd and told security to escort her out. The security were doing there job and took care of the troublemakers before anything happened.
Funny you should say that...I'm black. Now I'm not saying blacks can't be racist but its not really a term ascribed to blacks.
I would like to see a stat on how many terrorists attacks that happened on US soil were non Muslim rather than Muslim. And lets not forget that the first Fort Hood attack WAS a terror attack but the mainstream media called it a work place violence. And no, I have not nor ever consider an abortion clinic. And just because I'm an advocate for gun rights and a Christian doesn't mean I'm a terrorist.

I think the main problem with Trump is that he is playing on other people's tendency toward being bigoted. What I mean by this is some Americans have a view that puts themselves above others, or above other cultures maybe. Trump knows this and he's not letting go of it. He is playing them into electing him because they think they're holding up a big sign to immigrants that says "America has spoken" when in reality the sign simply implies ignorance. One such "sign" might be a law about Muslim immigrants being disallowed, or a wall between the United States and our neighbor Mexico.
