comment pruned due to size
Well i had quite a bit more but then my comment was pruned. didnt even know that was possible... Id love to rewrite that but sadly its not happening Hope you at least saw what i posted first.
What i will leave you with though is that You did open my eyes to a few questionable situations, and others that are pretty hard to ignore, but the overwhelming majority of those are either media spins, or freudian slips by the leftist media where they were the only ones talking about race rather than trump. Perfect example are these two
2015 - In midst of violent reaction to the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore, Trump tweets that “thugs” are happily and openly destroying the city.
Thug has no racial connotations unless you add those yourself. Ive literally been hanging out at a traphouse full of white thugs for the past couple weeks. Thug literally means violent criminal, not black person as your racist ass seems to think. The people he was referring to were being violent criminals.
2015 - In the speech announcing his candidacy for president, Trump charges that Mexico is sending rapists and criminals to the U.S.
This is again taking his words out of context, Trump explicitly specified mexican gangmembers, which California actually has a huge fucking problem with illegal immigrant gang members getting caught commiting crimes and then running back to mexico where the cartels control damn near everything. I have family in mexico(my uncle married a mexican woman) that i love btw, but I can tell you that I've heard some stories at family gatherings that will confim this. There are literally bail bonds companies that specialize in no collateral immigrant bail bonds because the industry is so booming.
Also Richard Byrd you keep saying he changed but he did not change in according to his actions. 1952 was the year he starting cutting ties with the KKK. Then in 1964 he was the one who filibustered the civil rights act that you claim to helped to create. I keep bringing this up because it shows that he was not honest about his change of heart.
Robert Byrd uses the word "it" at 2:27 to refer to the black Grandson in this story
Sorry but its fucking ridiculous for you to say that this guy who was a KKK leader that actually obstructed civil rights legislation gets a pass, yet Trump has to continuously apologize for things that that his father and he may have done years ago, during a time when sadly they were common place.
Again though you did open my eyes to a few things that I didnt know about Trumps past, but overall His track records does not seem like the racist the media makes him out to be. He seems like someone who was raised during a different era, who may have followed some of the social norms of the times but today I really don't see any examples of overt racism..
Again, Robert Byrd earned a lifetime NAACP score of 82%. They calculate that score based on how you vote on civil rights issues. He was the longest serving Senator in U.S. history, so for him to earn a lifetime score of 82% is pretty fucking impressive.
He was wise enough to see that he should change, and he did so. He showed this country that a man can change himself when he is shown the errors of his ways. I really wish we saw more of that kind of mentality today.
When those five kids were exonerated, by fucking DNA evidence, Trump still refused to admit he was wrong. He refuses to ever admit he was wrong, and very rarely apologizes when it is obvious that he has falsely attacked and slandered people. What's worse, he encourages his followers to do the same. Here's a good example of that.
Notice how McCain responds. That's the way people who aren't racists act in that kind of situation.

I really wish you had seen my original reply. That was one of the things that you opened my eyes to
This is definitely something that we can agree on.
I already know you're going to call me an uncle tom for this but fuck the NAACP, in the past they were legit, but today they promote race bating, and furthering the racial divide more than anything. Still though 82% is impressive, maybe I'm wrong about him. I'll have to look into that. I was trying to find this video that earlier that showed other things that he did that that don't go in line with his appologies but i cant seem to find it. I never actually got a change to fact check all of it and I don't want to jump to the conclusion that youtube deleted it, but they have been doing quite a bit of that lately.
Lol I remember when that question was asked. I will also agree here that he probably should have had his mic cut off right away but only because that looked horrible as a first question. The guy who asked the question though is not 100% incorrect... If I told you that I had been recruited by someone who thought i'd actually go to an event would that change your mind at all.
Regardless though I have 2 things to say here when people say that you cant be racist against Muslims because it's not a race they are being completely accurate. Now can you still be prejudice against them sure, but its not racism. Which IMO the reason people blow up about racism more so than any other kind of prejudice is because race is something determined at birth that cannot be changed, and has no effect on your core values. While religion is something that dictates your core belief set entirely. Nobody on the left seems to have any problem with those who vehemently hate Christians. Only Muslims. Even those who hate Judaism are given a pass as long as they only hate the Jewish religion and not the Jews as a race. Muslims though the left treats totally different, even though many of them openly hate everything about western culture. This does become problematic because not everybody agrees with their religions set of values to the same degree, and so for that reason I believe that we shouldn't jump to conclusions when talking about individual people, but in regards to the religion/culture itself there is no problem with being vehemently opposed to it. This is no different to how Atheists can be vehemently opposed to all forms of religion but can still be best friends with a bunch of Catholics, Jews, Muslims and Protestants.
The problem between the Muslim culture and Western culture comes directly from the fact that the west was formed by Judeo-Christian values that are at complete odds with Muslim values. Nobody has any problem with Muslims coming over here who understand that the cultures are different and still choose to come here and assimilate into our culture. What we don't want really has nothing to do with being Muslim. We don't want people with a core belief set that doesn't agree with ours coming here and violently changing things as they are attempting to do currently in Europe. Theres also another factor at play her as well that very few realize even though it was literally told to us by the horses mouth openly back in the 80s
I may upload the full lecture to my Dlive later today as i've uploaded his first interview #illegallyLOL

There is a popular myth among right-wing conspiracy theorists that liberals have double standards when it comes to Christians and Muslims. Watch Bill Maher or Christopher Hitchens rip into Muslims the way you would expect Rush Limbaugh to, and you may change your mind.
Liberals are more tolerant of other cultures because we go to college and live in cities, where we are exposed to folks different than ourselves. In doing this, we discover our common humanity, and shatter the myth that we are supposed to hate each other. I have friends of many different beliefs, including Muslims. None of them have ever given me reason to believe our cultures are incompatible. It is also worth pointing out that claims of cultural incompatibility were used as an excuse to segregate and oppress black Americans during the reconstruction and Jim Crow years.
The video of the racist islamophobes talking to Trump and McCain about Obama is more about Obama than Islam. If you are wondering if those folks were being racist, just ask yourself if they would have been flinging these ridiculous accusations at a white President. The only reason President Obama had to endure these ignorant personal attacks is because he had brown skin and an unusual name.

Its like your reading the first sentence every time and then replying based solely on that.
Did you not read any of that? I grew up in a coastal border city in southern california. One of the most diverse cities in the country I have friends of all cultures, races, religion, ethnicities. The difference between those people and the muslim refugees is that the people we know wanted to come here(that or their parents). The refugees don't, they only want to escape conflict zones, so they do not respect our cultural values. Have you not heard about any of the bullshit that is happening in Europe right now, and has been for the past 5 years since they started bringing Muslim refugees over in droves?
If you cant agree with me that a culture based on religion, which is literally defined as, "a particular system of faith and worship". with system being defined as,"a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized scheme or method". Can potentially be incompatible with another culture then you're seriously lost and there is no use talking anymore.
How can you say with a straight face, that bringing on hundreds of thousands of refugees who believe its totally fine to have sex with a 13 year old is not going to present conflict. A culture where the father has complete say over whether or not that 13 year old can or cannot have sex with adult men. A culture where women are not allowed to drive without their husbands A culture where women are still forced to wear hijab. Sure there are people fighting these things in their countries, but that is all apart of why their countries are war torn. Until we can agree on certain basic principles we are not compatible en mass plain and simple.

on a somewhat related tangent, have you heard about what happened to Tommy Robinson?

Have you heard about what happened to Roseanne Barr? Have you heard that Trump is defending her? Are you surprised that Trump is defending a woman who was just fired for making racist comments? Should you be?

You're literally retarded. What did Roseanne say that is racist? She factually accused Soros of selling out other Jews during WWII.
The only thing that she was wrong about was that he wasn't an SS and was only an Nazi Collaborator.

Oh wait nvm i totally forgot about the planet of the apes tweet LOL. Shes dumb, and like everyone one else tried to blame her shit on something that doesnt exist. She should have just stuck to, yeah i said some dumb shit but ya'll know I'm not racist. I don't know her history very well so I cant say for sure, but she claims to have a good civil rights track record and I don't think I've ever heard of her being accused of Racist. Id also like to add that I really don't care about insensitive jokes(although hers were a bit far). I grew up in places like making them myself. Its definitely not tactful, or something that i think one should do everyday though

As far as Trump goes, its not like he applauded her for those remarks. He defended her because she routinely defends him on twitter.

The fact stands. He defended a woman that just got fired for racist tweets. How many ways does Trump have to act like a racist before you allow yourself to see it? Do I need to do a little research and make a longer list, or should I just wait a few days for him to do it again?

*hella edited no idea how that came out the way it did(best assumption is being half asleep combined with having multiple windows open in edit mode?)
Fine I concede. Lets call Trump a Racist, I see him more a relic of he the past who very often sticks his foot in his mouth but you're right he does it so consistently that Its hard to defend. Its not that I don't see these idiotic things that Trump does. I see the response just as troubling, if not more. Your last list had maybe 5 or 6 examples that may have been attributed to racism, yet everytime he opens his mouth, even when it has nothing to due with race the left tries to divide the country even more by making it about race. The "Animals" comment is a perfect example of this. Trump was specifically talking about a gang that is known for committing insanely brutal animalistic acts; raping and cutting off the heads of underage girls then displaying both the head and the body for all to see, Stabbing unarmed people hundreds of times over a tiny argument. Killing entire families because of the acts of one person.
On the subject of shithole countries race was never mentioned by trump. It was mentioned by his critiques who intentionally distort his words in an attempt to furtherthe racial divide in the US. On the Charlottesville Rally, he literally said the exact opposite of what all of the left learning media outlets say he said, yet they continue to push this rhetoric. That is 100x more troubling to me than a 70 year old president who says dumb shit.
You don't want to believe it, but Muslim culture is not meshing well with western culture in Europe. Because of the exact reasons that I mentioned earlier. Nobody is saying(well nobody that I approve of is saying) that it has anything to do with race, it comes down to cultural values due to circumstance & religion
On borders, what the fuck is wrong with having borders? We cant afford to help out out people from our own country, we don't need to be taking on massive amounts of any immigrants legal or not until we get our existing ducks in order.
