Trump's Racism Exposed

Condor060 said:
Just for the education of the weak minded who don't really know the difference between a racist and a 55 chevy, here are some facts to help you through your thought process.

Kennedy ran with these main planks to his platform

1.) Lower taxes - Kennedy felt that more money in the hands of more American families was the best way to produce economic growth.

2). Strong military - Kennedy believed in peace through strength, and he felt that a strong military was the best way to discourage potential aggressors.

3.) Beacon of freedom - These views led to this famous Kennedy quote: “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge--and more. “

4.) God as a part of every day life - Kennedy believed that God would provide moral direction to individuals in their daily lives, especially as citizens of a free country that was going to be a beacon of freedom, i.e. the previous item. Again from his inauguration: “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country.

5.) Abortion - Kennedy found the idea of aborting pregnancy abhorrent

6.) Racial Quotas - JFK disliked the idea of using racial preferences and quotas to make up for historic racism and discrimination. Today, affirmative action is Democratic Party orthodoxy, but Kennedy thought such policies were counterproductive.

7.) - 2nd Amendment - Kennedy loved his guns and was a major advocate of the second amendment.

I agree with AProudLefty. Exactly how would any of that make him a racist? I'll watch your reply to APL, so no need to answer me directly. :)

Just wow. You have no clue do you? maybe if your actually read what I posted instead of just knee jerking a comment to just make a comment you would have read line 6.

Kennedy did not believe in the provisions of programs to help blacks by providing racial quotas. The idea of using racial preferences and quotas to make up for historic racism and discrimination. So you could forget about any (Black only) anything. No black caucuses, No black college programs, No black referendums on hiring blacks, No allowances for any programs that would subsidize black only programs.

Once again, Trump's criticism of the squad's political statements had nothing to do with skin color. The onus is on his accusers to prove that it did.

We'll wait.

We'll wait for Trump to apologize to those three who were born here in America.

What about this?

intro: Sammy Davis Jr. was at the height of his stardom in 1961 when he and close friend Frank Sinatra campaigned to elect President John F. Kennedy, but after Davis married Swedish actress May Britt, Kennedy refused to let him perform at his inauguration, Davis’ daughter claims in a new book.

Funny that you don't see the irony in that one. You literally made a knee jerk reply to me telling me that I didn't read line 6. :lamo

Yes I have read it. So what so racist about line 6? Many black people agree with affirmative action is silly. Get a job based on your merit.

So you could forget about any (Black only) anything. No black caucuses, No black college programs, No black referendums on hiring blacks, No allowances for any programs that would subsidize black only programs.

Why would I need to move any goalposts? Where was McCain accused of being an illegitimate POTUS?

Or do you think McCain won that election? :lamo

NOTE: Third time I've asked. You still haven't provided the links to all the White POTUS who have been accused of being illegitimate because they were born outside the USA.

One would say that your hasty refutation of an article critical of the media's overuse of the word, racism, was the deflection. Your imprudence certainly added nothing to the debate.

He already clarified.

Lay off the left's sensationalism of a badly worded Trump tweet being a racist event, and you'll learn something new.

I have stated over and over again that I have no idea if Trump is racist or not. So you can lay off wild delusional assumptions about us on the left.

Exactly. And you're really going to pretend this had nothing to do with Obama's race? Even though the attack continued after he showed his birth certificate? And it lasted for a decade?

I believe you know better.

You asked about JFK being racist. I gave you an example.

I guess you're so blinded by your own country's racist culture that you can't see.

Yes, I can see where a bunch of losers who cannot compete in the global marketplace would worship an illiterate clown who makes them feel special for bearing white skin. It's an old game; the South perfected it during the last century. And, that explains why they voted overwhelmingly for the Racist in Chief.

It was a racist tweet of an old racist trope. Racist attacks are Trump's primary strategy for energizing his base, so nothing new there.

It why his leading the racist Birther Movement for a decade gave his campaign street cred with much of his base.

Ah same old drivel from you as well. Got anything to contribute to this thread or are you going to have a verbal diarrhea screaming TDS?

There is no substance in this thread to respond to . There is only the same liberal idiocy that pollutes every other thread here. When one of you fringe leftists actually post something intelligent I will be happy to respond. Until then pointing that you guys are all infected with TDS will have to do.

Ooooooohh, Now I get it. If many black people believe the same thing that is said by a white president, then it can't be racist?

So if many black people agree with Trump, then Trump can't be a racist.

By the way, I am just making fun of the stupidity. Liberals are all affirmative action constituents so your idea of nothing JFK was proposing would be considered racist today is just more Liberal ignorance.

Your ability to jump from what is or isn't racist only means your idea of racism doesn't have any validity. Its just based on how you feel at any given moment. We get it

Yep. Unsurprisingly, the Southern Strategy gathered virtually all the racists under the Republican banner. Who'da thunk?
