The fact you cannot see the Trump remarks as racist is in the minority.......while in the majority is almost all the GOP in Congress........... You may be repeating the "parsing of words" argument in defense o0f Trump as being put forth by RW media with Faux Noise taking the lead............
I'm not defending Trump, I'm challenging you.
The definition of "racism" you used does not apply to what Trump said PERIOD. In fact, no definition of racism applies.
Saying someones race has influenced their judgement, does not make a person racist. If it did, then I'd say every single liberal on this forum is racist (yes that includes you phony conservative).
and btw, I don't own a TV and therefore don't watch Fox News (that's how grown ups spell it in case you are wondering mister conservative)
Trumps behavior is inexcusable and should be condemned..........
I agree and already expressed it was dishonest and low class.
And to argue it the "the same kind of dishonest, low-class crap that the left does day in and day out..." is not a defense of Trump but to agree the same behavior -left or right - is indefensible......and the same as saying two wrongs makes a right......(and if I might observe is a commonly used argument of a 5 year old).........
I agree it would be the tactic of a 5 year old, just like only a child would call Fox News "Faux Noise". It's a definite sign of immaturity.
Now there's just one problem with what you said there pal... I'm NOT defending Trump.
I'm saying 2 wrong are WRONG period. But at least you admitted that BOTH are wrong, that's at least progress.
There is no requirement - being liberal or conservative - one must defend wrong doing no or be considered as not being one of the group..........or expect to be ostracized by the group because you see things differently...........Honest and morally ethically people - either left or right - are required to identify "wrong doing" and condemn it ...........
And failure to do so.......and to defend "wrong doing" is to promote and encourage a destructive force in society.........And one which IMHO has begun to take hold in America today.......
I agree... Does this mean you are finally going to step up and condemn liberals like yourself who play the race card just like Trump has done?

You realize that you all you have done is completely misinterpret my post, while failing to actually challenge any of my main points.
Well done... LMAO
