    From my perspective, it is being used by the left to silence the right or to score some kind of silly points against anyone on the right. I use “radical Democrat Socialists” because it is an accurate depiction of that group. They don’t even deny that there are that.They relish it.

    Acknowledged that there are people who judge by the color of the skin, both black and white.I am married to a Latina, a minority, and I have heard those judgements. But only very rarely.

    There is no need for an excuse because the Tweets were not racist. He said what most people believe, if you hate this country and want to fundamentally CHANGE our country, you should leave. I am one of those people
    Why did Omar leave Somalia for America to change our country?

    Most people have moved on from race. You should too, Mujer de Buho. (Is that racist)?
    Bingo. You have it exactly right.

    A very nice black family happens to live on my street. He agrees with me about people like you.

    Stop being racist.

    Islamists have understood well how to couple Muslim anti-Semitism with the American Left’s vague notion of “social justice.” They have succeeded in couching their agenda in the progressive framework of the oppressed versus the oppressor. Identity politics and victimhood culture also provide Islamists with the vocabulary to deflect their critics with accusations of “Islamophobia,” “white privilege” and “insensitivity.” A perfect illustration was the way Ms. Omar and her allies were able to turn a House resolution condemning her anti-Semitism into a garbled “intersectional” rant in which Muslims emerged as the most vulnerable minority in the league table of victimhood.

    Then maybe they shouldn't be incorrectly assuming that the derogatory usage of the term is the ONLY usage of the term.

    I'm not obsessed with skin color like you are. I'm not obsessed with political correctness like you are.

    WRONG again; are you EVER right? I am saying it because the EVIDENCE of the tweet is OBVIOUS to anyone with a brain. Apparently that excludes you. But you are welcome to point what part was an "attack" and what was "racist." Give a shot so I can mop the floor with your head once again.

    I wrote honkey because it's basically funny and to mock the absurdity of parrot guy. That is inherently racist. If I say otherwise I am lying.

    Why can't you people be fucking honest for once...ever. Breaking out a dusty tome to defend the N word. Please. YUGE eyeroll.
    He knows what he is doing.
    You asking people to be honest is like Obama claiming he didn't lie about Obamacare. STFU you partisan asshat.

    Nothing that Trump has done is "racist." Nothing he tweeted was "racist." You leftist fools diminish the meaning of words by abusing them constantly in a desperate effort to shut off debate.

    We Jews spit on you rightwing goyim

    Jews should rejoice at the fact that Christian Europe is losing its identity as a punishment for what it did to us for the hundreds of years were in exile there," the rabbi explained as the ethical reason for favoring Muslims, quoting shocking descriptions from the Rishonim literature (written by leading rabbis who lived during the 11th to 15th centuries) about pogroms and mass murders committed by Christians against Jews.

    "A now, Europe is losing its identity in favor of another people and another religion, and there will be no remnants and survivors from the impurity of Christianity, which shed a lot of blood it won't be able to atone for."

    Note the unemployment rate for blacks and Hispanics, the lowest in history.

    The radical, Democrat Socialists keep racism alive, for political gain.
    trump was born in America and his campaign and presidency are built around his demand that America changes, so I think your call-out of the squad is misleading, Mr. Earl.

    Most people seek public office because they want something to change.
