    They don't but there have been quite a few instances of violence against Trump supporters and I haven't seen any violence against Hillary supporters so there is that?

    What about the violence against blacks from white supremacists? Since they are conservatives, clearly we can say - those conservatives, such racist violent bigots.

    The left does it all the time so I guess the answer is yes?

    Good to see that your attitude is if someone paints others with broad strokes, I am going to do it to. What a wonderful life philosophy to live by.

    No wonder this country is so divided.

    Trump just said he is going to label China as a currency manipulator when president. OoMG doesn't he know how racist this is? He such a racist, I mean how can he do this? Any transgression or disagreement with someone of a skin color or nationality different from your own makes you a racist. Who is going to stop this man from his bigoted attacks?

    Nobody has ever accused Trump of being bigoted or racist because of a disagreement with people of a different skin color or ethnicity.

    They have only accused him of being bigoted or racist because of him making bigoted or racist statements against people of different skin color or ethnicity.

    Saying you want to build a wall isn't racist. That isn't why people called him racist.

    Saying that most Mexicans were rapists was racist, and that being his reason for wanting to build a wall is what started the claim.

    Then Trump showed that calling him racist wasn't off the mark, when commented that any judge of Mexican heritage couldn't do their job.

    But simply building a wall isn't why anyone called him racist.

    You can call Trumps false rapist immigrant claims racist or not, but he followed it up with his comment about a person's ethnicity keeping him from doing his duty as a Federal Judge.

    This game is tiring and stupid. You all know exactly what he said. Most people with any kind of analytical ability also know what he has repeatedly meant and that his support is overwhelmingly the color of wonder bread. Whatever. You can choose to confront that or shrug and explain it away via other narratives.

    Either you don't care or you care. No need to pretend to objectively sift through the nuanced (sic) tea leaves of Trump utterances. He's pretty blatant, especially in terms of modern communication standards. The evidence is clear enough and readily available for anyone interested in looking through it.

    So either he is not a racist, has not exploited racist tendencies, and has not said racist things (meaning millions of people are just way too sensitive) or he is a racist and/or exploits racism (meaning millions of people don't think it's that big of deal in the grand scheme of things and choose to look away). Own your world view and move on. There's no changing the other side's view of Trump's race game.

    More fun to look at newly hilarious items like his wall of trash and (similarly themed), his suggestion of convention speakers in Cleveland. Poor Cleveland.

    I tried to add some emphasis so you could read it.

    When you say that "some" are good people (he assumes of course, because he doesn't know that there are actually ANY that are good people) it means the opposite of some are NOT good people, or specifically int his case are the ones with "lots of problems" that are "bringing drugs" and "bringing crime" and that are "rapists."

    So SOME are good people but MOST are not.

    It is a true statement that some illegal immigrants from Mexico carry with them drugs, are criminals, and are rapists. How is this racist? Of course it is not. It's also true that the Mexican-American judge in Indiana self-identifies with Mexican-focused interest groups, such as La Raza. Pointing this out as a way to question his objectivity in a case where his behavior suggests bias, is also not racist.

    This is just yet another lazy, intellectually bankrupt attempt to avoid debating the true issues and instead attempt to shut down debate and sway public opinion with catcalls of racism. We are better than this type of low level, dishonest exchange of slurs. It's shameful really, that so many emotions-driven, guilty-conscience liberals assume guilt at the first accusation of racism. It's truly beneath the level of intelligent, honest discourse.

    You are embellishing to try to bolster your point.

    Lazy, lazy thinking on your part.
