[FONT=&quot]WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's paid campaign staffers have declared on their personal social media accounts that Muslims are unfit to be U.S. citizens, ridiculed Mexican accents, called for Secretary of State John Kerry to be hanged and stated their readiness for a possible civil war, according to a review by The Associated Press of their postings.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]The AP examined the social media feeds of more than 50 current and former campaign employees who helped propel Trump through the primary elections. The campaign has employed a mix of veteran political operatives and outsiders. Most come across as dedicated, enthusiastic partisans, but at least seven expressed views that were overtly racially charged, supportive of violent actions or broadly hostile to Muslims.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A graphic designer for Trump's advance team approvingly posted video of a black man eating fried chicken and criticizing fellow blacks for ignorance, irresponsibility and having too many children. A Trump field organizer in Virginia declared that Muslims were seeking to impose Sharia law in America and that "those who understand Islam for what it is are gearing up for the fight."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The AP's findings come at a time when Trump is showing new interest in appealing to minority voters, insisting he will be fair in dealing with the 11 million people in the U.S. illegally and explicitly pitching himself to African-Americans, saying "what do you have to lose?"

Trump staffers during GOP primary used social media to disparage blacks, Muslims, and many more people and individuals. This should come of absolutely no surprise to anyone. [/FONT]
 
Wow! We had better watch out or those seven current or former Trump campaign employees might start a civil war on Twitter. ;)

And don't even get me started on the out of control racism of a Black person eating fried chicken while criticizing Black people. OMG the horror!!! Why couldn't that Black person be eating steak while criticizing Blacks, or perhaps eating fried chicken but criticizing whites? Then it would have been acceptable according to the SJW!
 
Maybe it's just me, but I'm far less concerned about what some ineffectual campaign staffers with no power in the real government tweeted and far more concerned about classified data Hillary Clinton and her staff that were officials in the US State Department transmitted in the open via email from an unprotected private server... and then deleted them without anyone not tied to the Clinton's reviewing them as required by the Federal Records Act and federal law concerning classified data.

But again, maybe it's just me.
 
Oh, the horror!!

Yes, we all know that anything a Democrat does bothers you far more than racism.

So you are in favor of racism? Or just making excuses for the Holy One?

I'm not seeing the racisn, since neither mexicans, nor Muslims are a race.
 
Nah, he and his supporters aren't racist. The fact that white supremacists are panting with enthusiasm over Trump is a pure coincidence.

We all know? For whom else do you officially represent? Are you now the spokesperson for those that do not like me? I would like to ask that you show me, and the "we all" that you represent, a list of examples where I have ignored actual racism in favor of being bothered by "anything" a Democrat does? In this particular thread, the fact seems to have eluded you that I was referring to the person not the action, the power which the person actually posses, and the potential harm that could come to this nation as a whole by the person's actions. If you still fail to understand, please let me know, and I will try a third time to describe it in a way in which you might. BTW, I look forward to reading who you officially represent.

I have no problem talking about it. But again, your action of using it as an example to excuse the alt-right is very telling.

Oh look, the liberal parrots have a new word: alt-right. Trumps a racist Bwaaak. Gold Star mothers Bwaaak. Alt-right fascists Bwaaak. It seems that there are one or two people on the left that actually have an independent thought, then they pass it on to their army of parrots to squawk all over the internet.

Still going with this excuse to try to draw attention away form the subject at hand?

But to answer your question, its because its nowhere near as prevalent as racism from the white community and is also somewhat systematic.

What the **** are you talking about? I am in no way "dodging racism", its in fact what you are doing.

So in other words liberal parrots get their lingo from the right. So I guess that means there isn't anyone on the left with an independent thought after all. Thanks for clearing that up. Bwaaaak

:lamo Alt-right was a term coined by the racist Richard Spencer
"Richard Spencer, the white nationalist who came up with the term “alt-right,” described the movement in December as “an ideology around identity, European identity.” But the alt-right has often seemed more diffuse than that, more of a catch-all for the least presentable elements of the online right: white nationalists, neo-reactionaries, the male-victimhood clique of GamerGate.

But hey I get it, lets just say those big bad mean evil liberals came up with it.
