A few days ago CNN made us aware that "not equipped" was in fact a racist term meant solely to demean black people. Today, thanks the CNN, we can expand on our knowledge of racial insults:

"What a stupid question. But I watch you a lot. You ask a lot of stupid questions"

"...who Trump routinely attacks as "dumb," "not qualified" or some such insult."


Accusing a black of asking a stupid question is racist, and calling a black person dumb is also racist. Indeed, "some such insult" would also be classified as racist. Can a black person be dumb, and if so, which race is qualified to tell them that?

Whites can be told they are dumb by a variety of races. What we need is a "race matrix" to determine which people have the right to express their opinion, based on both races involved - perhaps sex as well. The person on the left calls the person on the right "stupid", which ones would CNN get upset about?

White man / white man
White man / white woman
White woman / black man
Black man / hispanic woman (speaks English)
Asian woman / white man
Native American man / black man
Hispanic woman (can't speak English) / black man

Essentially, all race/sex combinations could be put in a hierarchy whereby "stupid" becomes more and more of an insult based on the race/sex of the insulter and the insulted. What is that hierarchy? Why isn't there an official government guideline giving us a list of terms we can and can't use based on identity? We desperately need one.

Oh look! You're using code too! You put white people at the top of your list! That must mean that you think white people are above everyone else! That's CODE! You're a RACIST!

yes...i'm being sarcastic...
 
President Trump has used the word "dumb" to describe some of his opponents who are non-Caucasians.

CNN (a loathsome network that I never watch) says that using the word "dumb" is "racist" in such a context.


In fact, I believe that his use of the word "dumb" proves that he is NOT a "racist."


It shows that he considers everyone to be equally worthy of his insults.

A "racist" would patronize his non-Caucasian opponents by simply ignoring them as if they did not exist. Silence is, indeed, the highest form of contempt.
 
Calling a black person dumb when they are dumb is not racist. Repeatedly calling multiple black people dumb may be indicative of racism. It's not that complicated.

Trump is an equal opportunity insulter, this is true.

The idea that this lifelong New Yorker who grew up in the great melting pot and was loved by everybody (until he became president) is a racist all of a sudden at age 70 is just so stupid its laughable. Furthermore, the idea that he is a white supremacist is just beyond all ignorance and stupidity.

"Equal Opportunity Insulter"......Wow you must be so proud this asshole is President....

Usually defeaning silence.
Also "if you haven't been there keep your trap shut"

Loved by everybody ?

Oh please. trump was NOT LOVED before he became president. New Yorkers hated him well before then. Keep defending him all you like but New York is now 100% BLUE. Staten Island - the last republican district in NY - fell to the democrats last week.

No, I am not. Did you ever walk down the street with Trump before he became president? Everybody shouted out to him, from trucks and cars and taxi cabs... .....they all loved him. Plus people liked him on his tv show too.

I repeat for the sake of truth: The idea that this lifelong New Yorker who grew up in the great melting pot and was loved by everybody is a racist all of a sudden at age 70 is just so stupid its laughable.

Quite a few people swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

He also used the word "Sh**hole* to describe Haiti. Obviously Trump measures the value of people and nations by their wealth. Nothing like having a president who thinks that the dollar is worth more than human lives and human dignity.

Like it or not, that is what many people think.

The big difference is that most people have the sense not to say it in public. They use a euphemism, such as "a developing nation."

President Trump is simply too frank for his own good. He has to learn how to be more "diplomatic." Come January, the Democrats in the House are going to tear him up. So I'm guessing that he will, indeed, be more "diplomatic" in the future.
