Trump the Racist

Sure you did.
I hope you didn't get yourself suckered into repeating an argument that you weren't even aware you were repeating.

No, I differentiated it based on whether the group was trying improve the situation for an underserved demographic versus groups that actively denigrate individuals because they belong to a different demographic.

NAACP tries to improve the situation for African Americans. Not Racist.

The KKK, while claiming to promote the situation for White Americans, also actively denigrates individuals because they belong to a different demographic. Racist.

**** Trump and his University.
I already said that thing stinks to high heaven.
For me this slice of the issue has morphed into something strictly political and should be recognized for what it is.
And selectively tossing around the "racist" term at this time is purely political.
You can attack Trump on legitimate grounds like he's a boor and doesn't know very much outside his own bailiwick and hasn't thought through much of anything and he's got a crappy campaign organization.
But this other stuff is just so typically political.
And, btw, with that in mind, exploring the cast of characters for their various political tendrils is not off limits.

Congratulations. I have ever read a post that was 100% wrong.

You must love cool aid

When someone calls someone a racist it's good to know if they're being selective when using the word.
Then again, avoiding the question will often indicate that selectivity.

The process of calling someone a racist is obviously selective.

Trump has revealed himself as an unabashed racist. It's what he is. Nothing he says now can undo that and make him what he isn't. The bigotry comes through even in a prepared text. Last night he closed his speech with this striking tid bit of condescension: "And we will take care of our Afro Americans". Apologies and "getting on script", as Mitch McConnell is advising, would only put the mask back on the real face we've all seen.

Knowing the type, I would be surprised, if he cared enough about it to be racist.

Oh, yeah?

Get caught with heroin in China or Malaysia and see how much a country has to do with crime.

Mexico and other countries in Central America are the armpit of the world. Would you like me to submit a proof, or can we stop now?

What do you think "underserved demographic" means?

Here, try this for clarification.
'I can't be racist if I'm from an ethnic minority'. Discuss - BBC Newsbeat
Whether you recognize it or admit it, you're in that camp.
 
MrT said:
I don't believe so simply because I place a value and a difference between a group that tries to promote individuals from within an underserved demographic as compared to groups or individuals that attempt to denigrate specific demographics.

That's what it says on their website. All nice and friendly-sounding, isn't it?

Dig a little deeper and you'll find the truth: they advocate more immigration and less enforcement of immigration laws. The more radical types of the group believe in Reconquista, the idea that the territory that is the American Southwest was stolen by the United States and still belongs to Mexico.

... but the application of criteria shouldn't be.

Again, it has to be. The criteria for applying racism to Trump in this instance are his demeaning references to Mexicans and Afro Americans. He didn't select midgets or pacifists for his victims but if he had they would be the selected criteria.

Imagine a world where the left controls nearly ALL media and social media....and all popular search engines.

Imagine how twisted and selective the information that the public views can become. What an efficient propaganda machine.

For the sake of society, there is a desperate need for a countering, RIGHT leaning search engine and major social media networks since the left media has no problem presenting the skewed views.

Should a right leaning search engine and social media outlet emerge, I strongly suggest those with conservative views RUN to those sites.

I think you've perfectly described the world reality that we currently live in.

If I offer a scholarship for whites only - blacks excluded - is this going to be racist?

If not, why those who already did it were immediately asked if they understand "that some may view it as racist"?

Sources that you approve of? What is "reputable"? Was Pravda reputable? How about NYT with their lies about Trump's mistreatment of women?

Indeed, he didn't select midgets or pacifists for his victims because neither are invading this country to steal, rob, murder, and rape.

Serious question- how would you vet the applicants?
I mean, is Obama white or black, in your application process?

Pravda no, was not reputable, because they were a propaganda outlet. NY Times would be a reputable source of data, if agreeably leftist in interpretation. WND, however, is not.

Watching Steff Curry and Clay Thompson on Golden State's basketball team, one thing sinks in quickly--I'm darker than those two. But, yet they will always be called "Black."

I hate that we live in a ****ed up society that does that. Always have.
 
Racism has two definitions:

1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

2: racial prejudice or discrimination

By both definitions I am a racist and so is everybody else with eyes and brains.

Just looking at the achievements in science, architecture, literature, music, education, governance and law by the year 1500 shows the superiority of white race. What did the American Indians - sitting on the richest piece of land ever - accomplish by that year?

How about blacks in Africa? Or the natives in Australia. What did they achieve by that year? There were no bad, mean, bigoted whites in North America, Africa and Australia to keep them from being all they can be.

We all practice a polite form of racial prejudice or discrimination. Every single day. Including when we walk into the lunch room and look for a table to join others.

OK. There you have it. I just pleaded guilty to being a racist. Actually, with the bar brought so low through overuse by the race baiters and the white liberal loons, it was not difficult at all.

Fox News, WND, almost all of talk radio---mostly propaganda. Five minutes of listening to Sean Hannity always leaves me wondering why anyone would take what he says serious.

I would ask the applicants to write an essay explaining if they are proud to be white. The best essay in the affirmative would win. I would be the judge what's best.

Obama is neither and would not be allowed to apply. Whites only. Just as NAACP is for blacks.

BTW, can a white chick enter Miss Black America contest by claiming that old racist one drop of black blood and you are black rule?

Would getting a transfusion from a black person be good enough? Or does it have to be via sperm?

I think after this election "racist" will die as a word. It used to mean hating others for their race which is legitimately not a good thing, but now progressive babies throw it at anyone who disagrees with their divisive identity politics. It no longer packs a punch due to that. Same thing with the hitler comparisons. Fun fact: a literal soviet communist invented the word to shame europeans who wanted stricter borders, in order to weaken european nations.
