It's just curious that every time he posts almost he gets one rep, doesn't take a genius to figure out who that is coming from.

You're damn right

Bigots don't deserve prosperity

You're damn right

so what do you refer to yourself as then... a bigot? or maybe a shill would fit you better 

 

[blco02]

Bigots are people who prefer to keep others wallowing in their own misery just to keep them on the Democrat plantation their entire life.

 

[cl-1b]

but a shill is an accomplice or hawker of said bigot ^^^^^ lol... that works better for these guys.

You're never going to have a constructive conversation with conservatives about race/racism because for them

White supremacy = KKK
White privelege = white people get everything without working

Pigeonholing these terms to only those definitions lets them easily deny the societal/political influence of both.

While there is a decent to good size of trump's voters that are racist, pin pointing that as the only reason anyone is voting for him is short sighted and elitist.

From what i have read and heard, i think many of his voters are willing to send trump to the white house as a nice big **** you to both establishments... even with his warts and faults, and crazy statements, they think it is worth it to show a message to career politicians and the media


In fact, you see people turning to what liberals would describe as bigoted and racist right now in Germany. People were mad merkel was welcoming a million outsiders in and she just suffered a huge set back in elections as a result.

Poll after poll gave berm conducted in recent weeks given the escalation of violence and divisive rhetoric by Drumpf. In near every case in relation to the actions at the rallies or continued bigotry talk it's either had no impact at all on people'say opinion or at a 2:1 margin made them more likely to support Trump. So with all due respect that outsider excuse is just that an excuse. He's tapped into a segment that obviously is angry, but I see the anger being more so that they feel their America is being taken away by the "others" than what Washington is doing.

It's being used as a front to openly support this racist and intolerant behavior by this guy. It's because a large segment feel the exact same way. They want to "Make America Great Again" which is code for back how it was when the old white men had all the power.

Agreed. Completely baffled and disappointed at the amount of support he's gotten.

 

[mgrand15]

Obvious trolling.

At some point mods have to fix this to make this thread functional.

This thread used to be a useful tool for actual information and discussion. Pretty important stuff since there's so many smoke and mirrors with politics. Blocking him does nothing cause he posts 12 times a page and people can't help but to respond. If someone was doing this in the NBA thread, they'd get banished to their specific team thread with the quickness.

 

[District of Columbia]

He got banished from the Drunpf thread it's only a matter of time

Nothing baffling about it, a lot of white people are still very, very racist, which shouldn't really come as a shock.

smh.. this has nothing to do with race. I guess Jesse Jackson / Farrakhan like race baiting is what you guys resort to when one doesn't support Bernie sanders. Stop looking for a hand out.

only a matter of time? Im just supporting my opinion.

So let me get this right If Trump wins FL and OH its pretty much over on the Rep side?!?

There is no fact that Trump is a racist. This is just plain assumption... guesses. A theory none the less. Hoax talk just like the Global Warming / white supremacy nonsense you think has invaded all walks of life in america. 

So let me get this right If Trump wins FL and OH its pretty much over on the Rep side?!?

Not necessarily... but there is a good chance he will reach the delegate count of 1237 by winning these states. Some people believe it is beneficial for Kasich to win Ohio so the vote can include a  monkey wrench and that would favor trump in theory. It is possible no one will reach the delegate count in the republican party tho

Gotcha

Drumpf isn't racist, he's just a privileged, ignorant white male who has benefited from his privileged. He also knows how to manipulate the ignorant masses. Majority of his supporters are racists. Now, is he racist by association? you could say that but that's a slippery slope.

But his methodology of gaining the vote of these said "racists" hasn't been by using racism itself. So i can't agree that he is a racist.

That's why I said he wasn't a racist.
