Can anyone now deny a major wing of the GOP is racist?

    and btw I can't still believe that sweetheart is sexual harassment. Either you are being hyperbolic or sarcastic. Because that doesn't make any sense.

    No point responding after this. You've been flipping out since I first saw you post in D&D. You're just stirring the pot.

    No. I didn't. The one who said it was the generalthade poster. I was being sarcastic in my post.
    If you want to know my beliefs is that we are all the same kind. Even racists are humans. I wouldn't discriminate and surpress the human rights of a racist. Unless he thinks it's within his rights to abuse, threaten or attack another. And just so you wondering I know many racists where I live who are discriminating against refugees. Noone said that this phenomenon is exclusively american.
    Why wouldn't an islamophobe or a sexist vote for Obama? A black person who hates latinos?
    Was voting for Obama proof that someone isn't racist? You can be racist against a particular race and not all.



    Unless there's a different definition of racism in the USA than in Europe that I'm not aware of. I have already found one difference. You have to be white to be a racist.

    And you make the assumption that the difference is due to all Obama voters one by one changing to Trump. Whether it is most likely that only a small part did, and the previous Obama voters didn't come to vote, but previous non-voters went out and voted Trump.

    Scared b/c a dumb person is in charge of the entire country. Dumb. Education level of a middle-school student. I don't talk good, but I listen real well. Never pay attention to media, only listen to Trump. Makes no sense. If you vote dumb, you support stupidity. Yeah!!

    Actually there are many on the left who proudly proclaim that minorities cannot be racist because they have no privilege and as such are not empowered (or words to that effect). Pretty much this point of view comes from the left. See Black Live Matter as a salient example.

    As I said in another thread. Decades of the Southern Strategy is the result of this, until the GOP actually looks in the mirror and 'drains the swamp' there this country will continue to be divided.

    Democrats play the race card true, but it's easy when they have so much ammunition and are going against a party that has abandoned courting the black vote almost completely.

    No need to be obtuse, you know why plenty of Americans (including long time Republicans) have a problem with Trump's character.

    He's a billionaire yet he will be on trial for fraudulant misrepresentation of Trump University, after calling the judge's race in to question.
    He's was able to complete a bachelors degree at UPenn, Wharton which is completely different than going to Wharton for business school. It's like getting an economics bachelors degree from U of Chicago and saying you're a Booth graduate without providing context.
    He's had two failed marriages and has released tapes of openly objectifying women.

    This is why younger voters openly welcomed Bernie but protest against Trump despite both wanting to break up the establishment.

    All Trump supporters are not racist and I know many people who are intelligent and rational who voted for him for reasons I can't understand but it is what it is and they are good people. However, the fact of the matter is that Trump ran an openly racist campaign that championed strong ideals of white nationalism. For those that argue with this, look at the way the KKK has been emboldened and invigorated, that didn't just come from nowhere. Look at stormfront, those idiots are acting like they've been born again.

    To deny this is only going to make things worse. The Democrats haven't helped themselves by overusing the racist label against others who they didn't align with politically and it has made the criticism that Trump's campaign had a racial undertone to it ring hollow, but that doesn't make the criticism any less true.

    Lol -- why even bother discussing things with people like you? Just keep throwing those titles out, bro. I'm not entirely sure you know what racism is anymore.

    Yup. So openly being acceptable to **** on Muslim is really going to escalate in the next four years. I don't think any rational person can deny that.

    I'm not running country- don't need to be smart. Having hot wife=intelligence??? Dumb conclusion. Billionaire= intelligence? Red herring.

    Wharton Graduate- hmm... see Rodney Dangerfield, Back to School. Probably the same.

    Only know what I hear. Listening to tRUMP- intelligence level sinks. Policies- don't make sense- dumb. Speeches- don't make sense- dumb. Conclusion- dumb.

    You vote stupid, you support stupidity. TY for supporting intelligence reduction.

    Liberals afraid of dumb decisions. Can't trust tRUMP to be smart - changes mind like the wind blows.

    Charles Whitman, Dylan Roof, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Timothy McVeigh, Columbine Kids, Adam Lanza, John Wayne Gacy, David Berkowitz, Charles Manson, James Holmes, McDonalds SD killer... Conclusion: Ban White Man!!!

    Catholic Priests- 100s of boys, raped lives, ruined lives- Ban All Catholic Priests!!

    Ban All Muslims- dumb. tRUMP?

    A salient example of what?

    The African American experience with law enforcement is profoundly different from anything you or the rest of Trump masses will ever encounter, simply because of the color of their skin.

    After the events of Tuesday, and the ascent of explicit white nationalism - first over the GOP and then into the white house this is unlikely to change and will most likely worsen.

    Do you want to know what privilege is? it's being Donald Trump, literally never being held accountable for decades of truly abhorrent behavior, perversely being rewarded for it, and promising to give that privilege back to the Herrenvolk.

    If you want to talk empowement, why don't we check back in after the Klan's victory parade next month. Then can see who is empowered.
