    Racist remarks are wrong regardless he uses them or who they’re aimed at. I think if you and I were sitting down together you would agree with me on this.

    Racist remarks are wrong. Lemon didn't make any racist remarks. But keep trying to milk the victim card.

    Okay, so is it racist when a GOP politican like Trump points out crime statistics and states black crime is disproportionate?

    So why is it racist if Don Lemon states an objective fact that Right wing white terrorism constitutes a majority of all terror Incidents in the past decade?

    Typical Republicans blame the media for all this political hatred. It's not b/c republicans pushed a highly controversial supreme court justice b4 midterm elections with a sham fbi investigation, or that we have a President who only takes credit for anything positive and call everything negative against him fake news, or that we have republican politicans outright say "that they will do everything in their power to obstruct obama". Oh wait how about that nice tax cut for the rich while making sht up about this middle class income tax cut right before mid term elections.

    Trump could b the most corrupted president ever in our lifetime, blatantly ignores proper protocol (uses a fking unsecured phone), and honestly only thinks about himself. I find it sad that there are many people that supports him just because he has an (R), instead of his actions.

    Talks sht about obama golfing, literally golfs at his own place all the time while lining up his pocket and republicans don't even bat an eye.

    I honestly believe that republicans were so triggered, and coudln't stand obama winning so they had to get the shttiest type of person to become president.

    You do realize...actually you clearly don't realize, that Farrakhan is right wing, not left, He actually likes Trump and is on good terms with Neo-Nazi groups. Not to mention all his views and beliefs are right-wing.

    The left abandoned him since he went full Anti-semite

    That sentence sounds true, surface level, but the deeper problem is that you likely disagree on what “racism” means because it lacks a concrete definition. These debates on what is racist and what isn’t too often devolve into people just talking past another, for this reason.

    Luis Farrakhan has been full blown anti-Semite, anti-White, anti-LGBTQ as long as he has been a national figure which of course has been decades. The left has continued to emberace him. You make all of the claims you want but the facts are not on your side. Below is a very small sample of the of the hate filled racist quotes from Farrakhan and just a few of his Left Wing Democratic Supporters.

    Here is a picture that needs little introduction:
    [​IMG]

    Tamika Danielle Mallory (born June 8, 1980 [1] ) is an activist and the national co-chair for the Women's March . She is an advocate of gun control , feminism , and the Black Lives Matter movement.

    Carmen Perez co-chair of the Women’s March seems to be cozy with Farrakhan.

    If you and I were to sit down together, crash, I don't doubt that we would get along famously. I play trivia once a week with 3 other guys at a pub not far from the Driscoll Hotel on 6th street, here in Austin. Two of us are liberal Democrats, and two are conservative Republicans, who both voted for trump. We've been a team for a decade and get along great. More than great, since we're actually good friends who do things away from the trivia contests (which we win pretty often, btw). How does that work? We talk about everything except politics. :)

    The definition I follow is pretty simple.

    Bigotry, discrimination, violence or antagonism directed at someone due to the color of their skin.

    Some groups have tried to muddy that definition in order to meet certain social and political agendas.
