This is the result of bigotry towards all muslims because of the actions of radicals.
Trump got himself some competition in the bigotry rankings.
They already banned burkinis, now Sarkozy's clown *** wants to ban headscarfs and pork-free meals from school canteens.
Seems like we're all being poisoned by increasingly ignorant politicians

Trump is actively campaigning for the black vote and you all don't want to hear it. Completely ignoring his words and focusing on your same tired narrative. I said Republicans were now aggressively trying to appeal to the minority community and yet no one wants to listen.

Oh we trying to act like people don't make money of politics? Ask Barack and Michelle how they became millionaires.

So the republicans or Donald are for the first time appealing to the black community since emancipation we should give them the time of day why?

Instead of talk, they should do something. A real show of good faith. Something big, that lets everybody know they've abandoned their white supremacist racist oppressive ways.

If not, all this What do you have to lose bull **** is falling on deaf ears.

Also if you call this aggressive, then you be terry cloth. Tell Donald to come to a black neighborhood and actually hear their grievances. Do the actual work it takes to get the support.

Probably too little too late though.

I heard my guy Benjamin Franklin Carson will give Da Don Da tour of Detroit and make introductions. BEN CARSON 2024.

Ben got those gifted hands. Slip her bra off like it's nothing.

It might help trump if he stopped referring to racial groups as monolithic entities... Almost every time he talks about a race, he refers to them as “the Hispanics,” “the Muslims” & “the blacks.”

I’ll take jobs back from China, I’ll take jobs back from Japan, The Hispanics are going to get those jobs, and they’re going to love Trump.

I love the Muslims. I think they’re great people..

I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks.

This one had me straight dying. He wanted to open a casino in Bridgeport, Connecticut that would rival a local native tribe's casino. Appearing before the house subcommittee on Native American Affairs -

they don’t look like Indians to me... They don’t look like Indians to Indians.

Love this famous one too...

How about simply denouncing the white supremacist chanting at his rallies or straight denouncing David Duke!?!?!

I love Rico's responses... Where's idiom boy at with his college degree to make sense of all this?

Trump just called Hillary a bigot.

Trump doing himself no favors.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

He's very good at projecting. Upper echelon.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Trump is a grade A piece of ****.

He knows he is running out of gas so all that he has left is projecting and pedaling ******** talking points

I can't wait for Julian Assange to drop that ether.

 

[mister friendly]

Ether?

Don't Republicans hate rap music and Black culture in general?

I can't wait for Trump to lose so that I can bathe in the bigoted tears of his supporters

 

[gry60]

That's business 419.

I can't wait for Julian Assange to drop that ether.

Trump done drank it all already.

 

[Master Zik]

Dudes keep relying on hacks for Trillary to fall.

They keep coming up with nothing.

They think they can release some hacked emails a day before the election that'll change things?

 

[whywesteppin]

just like trump can shoot someone and not lose his 30% of supporters, Hillary could email out a d*^* pic to all of America the night of the election and she wouldn't lose any votes.

 

[blackdynamite]

Y'all see what's going on in Ethiopia? The power is shifting to the people!

 

[superblytrife]

So let me get this straight...

The Trump campaign is harping on the Clinton Foundation and how it's a "pay to play" type of deal.

But Trump donated over 100k to the foundation, and claims it wasn't "pay to play".

So how in the actual blue hell are we supposed to believe the claims that it is "pay to play" if he can just simply say that it wasn't?

You can't make this **** up.

 

[dragicon]

Y'all see what's going on in Ethiopia? The power is shifting to the people!

I've only heard of the government killing hundreds of protestors and massive flooding with hundreds of thousands being displaced. Do you car to elaborate as to what shift you are referencing?

Don't Republicans hate rap music and Black culture in general?

Although my (legal) Mexican immigrant parents are both staunch Republicans, I've never considered myself a Republican (or as having any political "alignment") largely because I've never been particularly interested in or engaged in politics until this election year, AND because I don't think belief systems are "one size fits all." I believe in certain principles that would be considered to align with the left, as I believe in certain principles that would be considered to align with the right.

I certainly don't hate rap music or Black culture, quite the opposite actually. I've gotten into heated debates with white friends about how ignorant they are of Black culture and the injustices that Black people have faced and continue to face on a daily basis. Although I can only think of one instance in my life where racism was directed at me for being Mexican (came from a Filipino guy in junior high), I developed a disgust for racism (specifically racism towards black people) by getting tired of my parents and grandparents (if you know how older Latinos can be sometimes) constantly scold and question me for listening to rap, playing/watching basketball, and wearing Jordans because "no eres un negro." I ******* hated it.

For what it's worth (probably very little since you guys, despite not knowing a single thing about me, have already labeled me as a racist bigot just because I don't immediately grab my pitchfork any time Donald Trump breathes), I've been told by numerous Black people on numerous occasions that I am "Black on the inside."

 (Shout out to my personal favorite, Mighty Mos)

I'm proud to have Black friends and I'm proud to love and be loved by the Black people I know, and I'm proud to be extra friendly to the random Black people I encounter in life because I know there are racist pieces of **** out there that won't give them a chance. They're good with me.

• That DOESN'T mean I have to support / condone everything BLM does because they say they operate in the best interest of Black people
• That DOESN'T mean I have to interpret everything Donald Trump says as hateful, racist bigotry because the media tells me it is
• That DOESN'T mean I have to see Hillary Clinton as this great beacon of light for minorities because the media tells me she is

I'm a big proponent of independent thought where I observe and come to conclusions on my own, NOT  having it spoon-fed to me by talking heads on TV.

 

[mr highness]

Went with Trump initially during the very early stages, but now switching to Killary Clinton.

Don't like neither.

 

[RustyShackleford]

The second he flips on immigration you're done with him.

Surprise, Surprise

I can't be bigot, I have black friends.

And

I'm and independent thinker because I don't find Trump that offensive

-It is shocking how different dudes pedal the same excuses time after time.

 

[whywesteppin]

Trump takes care of that himself. He is sure to say the hateful, racist stuff himself so it doesn't have to be interpreted.

Hillary is not perfect but we need to dispose with this moral equivalence fallacy. Just because two candidates are flawed it doesn't mean they're two sides of the same coin. Any chance of having constructive dialogue based on Trump's ideas went out the window months ago when Trump repeatedly showed no interest in having any sort of thoughtful dialogue (probably because he is not capable mentally) and instead embraced his angry white uneducated low-IQ white base.

I do think it's unfortunate that things have become so polarized. But again that doesn't mean the two sides are equally bad. And the absolute intellectual dishonesty of Trump and his apologists has made it impossible and futile to try to have middle-ground discussions on many issues, at least during this election cycle.

I gave you a whole background of personal historical context for my aversion to racism and that's  what you took away from it?

Haven't used one of these in years
