Also, you continue to not use the rest of the quote from POTUS. You are literally echoing the MSM.

It's her right to downplay 9/11 just as it's Trump's right to say that the white males marching with tiki torches and chanting anti-Semitic slogans were very fine people. You can be stupid and still be Constitutionally protected. You cannot incite violence and remain within the coverage of the First Amendment. The "workplace harassment" garbage is just that, garbage. But when a President tells four women belonging to various minorities (three of whom were born here and the fourth was naturalized) to go back where they came from, it's a threat. "Love it or leave it" from the Drifter is just a parrot repeating his favorite buzzwords, but when the President says it and means it, it's a threat. 

The sheer number of people in this thread dismissing, downplaying, even pushing the boundaries of defending racism, saying that minorities bring it on themselves, placing false equivalency between white men being arrested while not acknowledging that it happens much more frequently with black men, even saying that abortion is the reason the black community is so badly left behind, it all blows my mind that I'm reading this from some of you. I thought better of you, but I guess I'm starting to really see who here thinks for themselves and who here just repeats what Donald Trump or AOC tells them to say. This board is starting to feel a little too much like Twitter.

I am better trying to understand your position here. You said the president made a threat? How is so? He simply said if you don't like it here, leave. Go back and fix Somalia and come back and tell us how you did it. There is nothing racist there.

Also, if you are upset at your perception of people brushing off "racism", blame the democratic party for taking identity politics out of the galaxy and minimizing what true racism really is.

Everything can't be racist TJ.
