Is "Make America Great Again" a racist slogan?

Lemme guess; you're on probation and specific talk about violence is a violation.

Sooo...if I say all pedophiles should be stopped before someone shoots them in the fucking head, I'm not really advocating violence against pedos. I'm simply trying to save them from being shot. Right? I'm peacefully trying to solve the problem of pedophiles.

Thats not equivalent to what i said.

Maybe they shouldnt be stopped.

Maybe whites are bad.
 
Just watching the Bryan Cranston interview w/ Chris Wallace. He makes a good point: if you're black, when was America "great?"

If you watch Obama's inaugural speech, and see African Americans crying about what a milestone his election represents, you realize how far we've come. If you watch what happened w/ Kyle Rittenhouse, and imagine how it would have been if he was black, you also realize how far we have to go.

Interested in other thoughts on this topic. I have always felt there were some racial undertones to "MAGA," and I'm actually 100% that for some supporters, that was what it was about.

No. It is YOU that is racist.
 
The MAGAs are about hate,
MAGA isn't a person. YOU are about hate.
Trump is as hateful as you can get.
You are describing yourself.
He sees anyone he disagrees with as an enemy and a traitor. He has nothing good to say about anyone who is not 100 percent on his side.
You are describing yourself.
Look what he did to Pence for an imaginary crime.
Nothing.
Every member of the Repubs, who are not Trumpys first, are enemies.
You are describing yourself.
 
In Fareed Zakaria's book "The Post-American World", he writes "This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else".

Yes, MAGA is often used as a white supremacist slogan, but it's also a nostalgic slogan to return to America's days of global domination following WWII until the end of the Cold War. That's national and economic, not racist per se. That's how Reagan used it; to maintain American military, political and economic supremacy over the planet.

You are describing yourself. Racism.

That causes problems, because no one wants to hear that the world their parents fondly reminisce about requires turning a blind eye as to how "the other half lives".



Yet you people want to rehash the past to the present. Why? You keep yelling future! Future! Well, why not teach and emphasize the minority accomplishments along with our history? How many minorities have it better than you or me? Are you resentful? I say, good for them.

Funny that YOU and people of your mindset have no problem STILL mentally fighting the Civil War in favor of the Confederacy .... STILL try to diminish and discredit Ghandi, MLK .. STILL bitch about (and try to eradicate) any laws stemming from the Civil Rights movement .... STILL bitch and moan and try to reverse all the achievements of FDR's New Deal ...

But you whine like little bitches and talk all types of convoluted BS when someone points out how a comprehensive review of the past affects the present which does NOT fit your version of reality.

Take the bus to CPAC and blow your horn there, chuckles. The intellectually impotent and willfully ignorant suckers there will seal clap and bark to your delight.

That is why there is so much division in this country. You can't be wholly proud of American achievements when they were built in part on a support of bigotry & racism.



You're blaming Reagan for so much division in America? I disagree.

Name a country that wasn't built on bigotry and racism and I'll be proud of them. Like Trump's CPAC speech, you are driving into the future by looking in the rearview mirror. Instead of focusing upon past wrongs, why are you not focused upon a better, brighter future for all Americans?

See, this is the problem......total misrepresentation of what I stated (either innocently or purposefully).

HOW THE HELL DID YOU INTERPRET ANYTHING I WROTE AS " blaming Reagan for so much division in America"? I pointed out that using Reagan as an example is insufficient if you leave out (as he did in his oft expressed viewpoints) parts of American history that are "unpleasant" but necessary.

And spare me this oft used right wing BS about "stuck in the past". To paraphrase and old saying, you'll repeat history if you don't know it.

Our rabid right wing friends just love to revise history to suit their present day agendas.....my response to RB60 in post #230 today should explain what I'm saying.

When you clog my alerts with your nonsense, Sybil, it only proves to me you are a very deluded and narcissistic person. I forgive you because I know you can't help yourself. You are compelled to be the way you are for reasons you cannot control.

My guess is paranoid schizophrenia, but actually diagnosing what's wrong with people isn't my field of expertise. My career experience is identifying those fit to serve, those who need some help and those are not fit to serve.

You aren't fit to serve, but I don't hold that against you for the aforementioned reasons.

Disagreed; pedophiles should be stopped since kids cannot give consent. I fully support what two or more consenting adults do with each other. If they want to duel, fine with me.

OTOH, if any person's actions harm another adult without their consent or harm a child, consent or not, then the offender should face the harshest penalties.

Domestic terrorists like the WSEs, the 1/6 Seditionists and the like, should be taken down by the most efficient means possible.

I do not abide by people who seek to weaken my country or harm my fellow Americans.

Minority history is OUR history and people don't want it taught saying it's CRT

And just what is our/ your history?

How many blacks in America lost a tribal war and got sold into slavery?
