Quote:Holder didn't own white slaves either. I guess that makes him A-OK.
Jim Crow? Reconstruction? Do you want to go back any farther? I'm not familiar with the so-called white supremacists, but I doubt they want to bring back Jim Crow and slavery.
What on Earth do you think white supremacy means, and who said anything about slavery?
Jim Crow was institutionalized racism and white supremacy. It is to those glory days the KKK and the like want us to return.
So in case we're keeping track at home, there are now multiple reports of Trump supporters making the Hitler salute towards protesters and/or telling Sanders supporters to "go to f------ Auschwitz".
I miss George W. Bush. Not just saying that for the sake of slamming Trump. The man had his flaws and his administration was deeply damaged to its core, but at no point did I feel like Bush was a dishonorable man, a sleazebag or a dangerous inciter of racial and anti-Semitic sentiment.
TBQH, I wouldn't be too sad if Trump were tragically run over by his campaign bus. I'm to the point where if it comes down to Clinton vs. Trump, I'd almost have to vote for Clinton, even over a third party candidate like Gary Johnson. We can't let Trump run around with his bedsheet brigade burning crosses in people's yards. The lowest common denominator of society must not define us as a country.

So since The KKK must support Trump, Trump is a Grand Wizard.. Got it..

He certainly doesn't complain about it. Nor does he ever rebuke his supporters for being violent, being intolerant, being racist, throwing punches at those who oppose them, whatever.
Yeah, the man represents a tier of society that I'm embarrassed even exists in this country. Reagan's rolling over in his grave at the thought of his party being subverted by someone like that.

So I guess I'm a racist since I've voting for Trump, right?

It's a blessing for Nancy that she's no longer around to see people compare Trump favorably to Ronnie.

Are you? I'm not saying that all Trump supporters are racist. I'm saying it's a problem when his political rallies resemble those held in Germany circa 1933, and when he refuses to denounce the endorsement of the KKK, his supporters making Nazi gestures at the supporters of a Jewish candidate, and his xenophobic, even racist, thoughts on how to deal with illegal immigration and Islam (not just radical Islam).

So radical supporters spoil the bunch..

It's not a few radical supporters. That's the problem. Trump's rallies are more and more resembling the "In the Flesh" scene from The Wall, and it's not just a few people doing it. If you threw Bernie Sanders at those people, he'd be torn limb from limb.

Source on Trump stating he will refuse to disavow the KKK? I have seen multiple sources, upwards of 10, showing him stating he is specifically disavowing the KKK and David Duke.
Source on the Nazi gestures at Jewish candidates?
Also, how is enforcing immigration laws racist?
Also, Islam is not a race, but what specifically is wrong with temporarily blocking the immigration of individuals who belong to an extremely oppressive and violent political force/religion until we can properly vet the individual to ensure he/she will not enact radical anti-American beliefs on American citizens?

As horrible as those people are, they still have the right to vote. And I'm just assuming, that all you have to be is white to get their vote..

Bernie Sanders disrupters are present at every Trump rally and there hasn't been any recorded injuries. These are often in auditoriums holding 30,000+ Trump supporters. I think you have been brainwashed by the media. Seek help!
Quote:I think people on the extremes are particularly sensitive to issues of race. Both the far left and the far right. Ever since Obama got elected, some people have been watching to see if a black President would favor black people. Personally, I didn't notice it, because I don't feel particularly threatened by black people.
And also, people on the right have played up every little thing Obama has done in order to play on white people's fears of black people taking over, or getting their jobs, or somehow getting an advantage over them. My opinion is that Obama's opponents have accused him of race baiting, when in actuality, what they are doing is actually race baiting, playing on white fear and white resentment.
"Look at how Obama is favoring black people over white people!" <That is actually race baiting in itself.
To be fair, I think a lot of this racial polarization has been caused by policies fostered by the left, particularly affirmative action. I think affirmative action is very bad policy, and one reason is because it stokes so much racial animosity.
I don't feel threatened by anyone unless they give me a reason, no matter the race, ethnicity or gender and I haven't been given a reason. How others feel is another matter.
I do take issue with the fact that if a black person was done wrong (I'm using a broad term here because the spectrum of wrongdoing that has happened over the past several years is quite wide) and it reached a national level he was sure to have something to say about it. But white people who were done wrong? Not a peep. Nothing except after one instance and I can't remember what it was but it happened last year. I think he sent someone from the WH to a funeral or something. I'm trying to find the story to link to. Sometimes it's all in what you don't say or don't do that shows who you are. Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
I thought when he was campaigning that he was all about people in general and I liked that about him. He was very charismatic and seemed very genuine. Of course, my ex-husband was as well and, unknown to me, cheated on me every chance he got with a particular female, so maybe at the time I was just blind to just who Obama was because I had blinders on to everything. Obama is not the person he made himself out to be and I don't think for a minute he has any care for white folks or anyone who can't or doesn't give him what he wants. It's sad because I really did like him. Or at least who I thought he was.

1. Took him several days of dancing around to realize that embracing the KKK is worse for his campaign than denouncing it. Cruz would've instantly rejected Duke's endorsement.

3. Enforcing immigration laws is not racist. Saying that the people coming over from Mexico are criminals, rapists, murderers, whatever, is. Shutting down all Muslim immigration is. Trump knows this. He knows Mexico won't pay for any wall. He knows that shutting down Muslim immigration is impossible, but he still brags about it. Know why? Because it appeals to the lowest common denominator of society, one which is good and pissed off by the realization that they are the LCD, and this country has been marginalizing them because we're better off without them.

1. He disavowed it when immediately asked during a press conference two days before the CNN interview and immediately after (again, and multiple times). Cruz only does what his political handlers tell him to do, by the way.

2c. Can't defend this one, but you mentioned in the other thread the commie flag waver was a false-flag Trump supporter, so I will say this guy was a false-flag Bernie supporter.

Lol they called bush a racist nazi too. They said the same thing about mccain rallies in 08. They made up the story that mitt romney beat up a gay kid in school. They were even offended when romney adopted a black child.
Who was the last republican that wasnt tarred and feathered as an alleged racist? Its the same schtick no matter who it is or what is said and im through buying it.
For crying out loud they invented a term for george zimmerman a gispanic femocrat to incite passions against white conservatives/ gun owners.

Yeah, but Bush didn't embrace it.

1. Wow, that was convincing. He really went out of his way to condemn the KKK and what they stand for in his "disavowing" the endorsement. Oh, wait, no, he was just tired of being asked why he refused to disavow the endorsement, so he blew it off. You're really proving my case here.
2a. Having an arena full of people pledge their support to him over a Nazi salute is nothing?!
2b. Old woman making a Nazi salute at supporters of a Jewish candidate who was, unlike her, actually alive during WWII, if an infant.
2c. Clarified that--I did not. If this guy were the only Trump supporter making Nazi salutes and throwing anti-Semitic or racial slurs out there, I wouldn't care, but he's not, and Trump has said and done nothing to encourage his followers to stop being scum.
3. That's the most subjective load of tripe you've ever heard here? Man, you must be new. Right off the top of my head I can think of far more subjective, unsubstantiated tripe than that from several posters.
