    Now see, this is exactly what I meant in my post to Evince. Those who cannot see his pattern of racist actions and statements over the years are either willfully blind, or they don't see them as racist because they are racists too.
    ~~~
    On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly made explicitly racist and otherwise bigoted remarks — from calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists to proposing a ban on all Muslims entering the US to suggesting that a judge should recuse himself from a case solely because of the judge’s Mexican heritage.

    The trend has continued into his presidency. From stereotyping a black reporter to pandering to white supremacists after they held a violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Trump hasn’t stopped with the racist acts even after his election.

    In fact, the very first time that Trump appeared in the pages of the New York Times, back in the 1970s, was when the US Department of Justice sued him for racial discrimination. Since then, he has repeatedly appeared in newspaper pages across the world as he inspired more similar controversies.

    The latest came in remarks surfaced by the Washington Post. Talking about immigration from Haiti and African countries, Trump reportedly asked, "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" He reportedly suggested that America should allow more people from countries like Norway instead. The implication is clear: The people coming from predominantly black countries are bad, while the people coming from predominantly white countries are good.

    I have more respect for someone who admits that Trump is a racist, but yet they still support him because they like his economic policies and so on. The ones who flat out deny that he is a racist are suspect, to me. Either they don't want to admit it publicly for fear of being seen as racist by their approval, or they just don't see it because *they* really are racist too.
    because racists are not the people who should be defining racism


    if they cant see it then they are a racist

    Most I know who do this watch only fox "news"


    the police raided the offices of fox "news" in London a few months back

    I think Rupert has been working with the Russians


    Once Ailes was dead and gone for assaulting women Rupert took back over


    I think he worked with putin


    His ex became Putins girlfriend


    compromont on Rupert

    Well I am, and I think she's pretty damn good looking. I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but honestly I think you're just falling into the common cognitive fallacy whereby celebrities are held to a much much higher standard of beauty due to their being largely unattainable. She might not be playboy cover model material, but if she came up to you in the bar I have little doubt you'd jump at the opportunity.

    Not that looks alone are as relevant as you and others see it, especially pertaining to this discussion in particular....but it had to be said.

    They cannot.
    BAC, you have argued before the behavior/actions of the person in office doesnt matter. It's all about policy.

    You told me you like women better than me because you vote Democratic, that it doesn't matter how we treat women in our lives. Voting Democratic is more important.

    So it stands to reason if someome likes Trump's tax policy or judges then it doesn't matter if Trump is a racist or anything else because as you said, policy trumps all (no pun intended). So one can dislike his racial views but support his policy in your scenario.

    As one who very frequently denies the importance of particular persons in elections etc, I find it odd that when it comes to Trump, or other very contemptible people, anyone could think their total personal inadequacies irrelevant. Clearly the poor dab is such a personal shambles that he doesn't (and can't ever) have a coherent policy?

    In YOUR opinion you mean. I'm sure YOUR opinion matters to you when it comes to judging the sexual viability of women but that is just your opinion as to who you most likely have a chance of banging. Not her, clearly, so she's ugly as fuck to you.

    You've NEVER heard me say any of that.

    Are you aware that I only became a democrat again when Trump ran for office. I've spent years as a Green .. and you've never heard me say that about Greens either.

    If you follow and support a racst, you are a racist.

    It's just that simple.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.
