President Trump

[bbsam]

Here is a different viewpoint.

No, Donald Trump Isn’t a Racist

But, you may be asking, isn’t it racist when he talks about banning Muslims from entering the U.S. and saying that illegal Mexican immigrants are rapists and criminals? Nope. Why? Because:

• Muslims aren’t a race
• Mexico isn’t a race

Yes, many of Trumps’s statements seem racist, but it’s just a plain fact that they’re not.

Why does linguistic accuracy matter? Because there’s an actual danger for those who inaccurately impugn someone’s character: it can backfire and damage the accuser’s credibility. Also, it misdiagnoses the problem many have with Donald Trump as a political candidate. If we misdiagnose our candidates, then we’ll be voting for or against them for the wrong reasons.

Guess I'm vile now because I offered another viewpoint. smh

Ok. Let’s start there. How then shall we categorize the president? Hateful? Vile? Repugnant? Unfit for office? Criminal?

I’m open to suggestions.

P.S. You are not vile because of another viewpoint. Your viewpoint is vile because it hides behind semantics and tries to dodge the substance of the matter.

He is those things and more to many people.

I said this was a different viewpoint, not my viewpoint. It is from the HuffPost and a progressive's viewpoint.

Be careful, TDS may be infecting your normal, more logical approach to things.

This is not from HuffPost but you tell me: how long does the list have to be to call a racist a racist? I walk in a room and people see “a black guy”.

Trump carries on like a racist for decades and people fear the term he’s earned. Why is that?

Decades? Look again at his history with "the black guy"

Trump carries on like a person who is NOT racist. The racist " black guy " hates it.

But he is not racist.

And you are bigoted and prejudiced, therefore have no standing to dictate.

You didn’t even read the article, did you?

[El Correcto]

You are suggesting this is his cabinet?

Not at all, but I don’t know very many people with pictures with racist radicals who themself don’t hold hold a racist radical view or benefit from racist radicals....

Also reverend wright


I truly believe Obama won simply because of the color of his skin and his jive turkey talk.

Did you read the article?

Do you not understand the "you doubt" inference?

Waiting for yes or no.

Actually Wright was biblically correct. Any individual or society that puts itself above God should be damned. Don’t get caught up in the religious context though. That’s just for Sunday.

 

[El Correcto]

Barry Mussolini O’Bummer really didn’t have anything useful to say.

I particularly liked when he went on comparing Muslims to Chicago and saying both strive for peace.

The only good comparison of muslim culture to Chicago’s inner city is disproportionate amounts of violence.

Trump is a racist, just not in the two instances cited in the opinion piece.

Thank JEBUS he was biblically correct which in the real world equates to still a jack ass.

Here's how Trump's Cabinet compares to Obama's

because sex and color is the most important criteria.

Donald trump made Omorosa judas .
