Trump mocks Elizabeth Warren as 'Pocahontas' in front of Native American leaders

I'm white. Who am I to tell a black person what to think? I've seen plenty of racism but haven't experienced it. Neither you nor I can truly understand what black people go through every day of their lives. Discrimination is pervasive in the system and I don't see how anybody can deny that.

Fair enough. If you're cool with being called a racist then so be it. I'm assuming you don't want to be a racist. What are you doing to change yourself? (not yelling that question at you just asking)

First I'd have to know how I'm being a racist before I can change anything.

Being white is her answer.

Now TTQ64 is a special case and even Mott has called her out on it. At a certain point, even if you are black, when you sit back and call everyone racist but say nothing else it starts to lose its effect.

And yet I do what I tell you and others not to do with posters like her so maybe I'll take my own advice and stop discussing her. (I have her on ignore but as we all know you can still see their posts when someone quotes them)

Here's an example that TOP posted in another thread, along with the comment "there are dozens and dozens of these stories." https://www.wthr.com/article/west-side-shooting-leaves-one-person-injured

Of all the crime and shootings in this country, she posts this one to comment on.

I don't know who Top is or where they came from but I'm talking a much bigger picture than one story. When you come on a political chat board but don't discuss politics other than to call people racist is what I'm talking about. That's what we have here. And again, she maybe hasn't called you out personally but when she says all white people are racist and she trusts no white women when they claim they have been harassed do you think she's excluding you?

IMO that post is part of the bigger picture. It's holding out one episode of violence by a group and suggesting that all members of that race or ethnicity are violent also. It's just the opposite side of the coin from what you're arguing. People here don't automatically call others racist; something they've posted triggers the accusation. Maybe it's not always right but IMO, it is more often than not.

I was responding to a comment about shoes. You left that out, though, didn't you:)?
Or did you just choose to ignore it, now that you've sold your soul and are committed to obsessing about what I post for life:)?

And who was involved in the post about shoes? Disingenuous isn't a good look on you.

I thought I kept my sentence short enough for you but I guess not. I never suggested the birther thing was the only low education issue he pandered to you with.

Oh yeah? What issue did Obama pander to low education voters? Was it the Obama money? Or Obama phones that got you?

Ok. You seem to be ok be referring to as a racist because of Top. That's a personal decision.

^ And here it is, folks... Obamaphones.

I guess you don't realize that phone program started as Lifeline during the reagan administration, huh.

What in the world are you babbling about?
"who was involved in the post about shoes"?
(and if you need help defining "disingenuous" you just let me know. You're welcome:)

Stop lying on me and twisting my words.

I call you a racist because you support the racist right and their institutional racism.

It's you're actions, and your post, and what you support.

Trust is earned, not automatically given. So you're damn right, I don't trust whites, especially white men until they give me reason to trust.

And it's the truth. White women overwhelmingly voted for dump. Now all of a sudden, they want to take down men for sexual harassment.

It's a factual statement. Am I not suppose to point it out because they are white women?
