If Trump proposes repealing the 13th Amendment (bringing back slavery), legalizing segregation, or if he starts calling black people n*ggers, then I'll be the first to come back here and call him a racist. Until then, I've seen nothing that rises above the level of bigotry - and even most of that appears to be rooted in intolerance of those who support socialism as opposed to intolerance of one's skin color.
It is mind-boggling to me how much the goal posts have moved throughout our history as to what constitutes racism. Actual racism did exist for much of our history.Slavery? THAT is racist. Counting black people as 3/5 human? THAT is racist.
Segregation? THAT is racist.
Calling black people the N-word? THAT is racist. Disagreeing with or even sharply criticizing people of color over their political views? That is NOT racist, at least so long as your disagreement isn't rooted in white supremacy. Bigotry? Maybe.
Anyone attacking people of color that hold office to lessen their political impact is racist. No "N'" word required.
Ill assume that you will still hold this ridiculous opinion toward the white, Democrat party critics of Michael steele, Tim Scott and Nikki Haley....
Youre starting to sound like a bot or troll.
I guess its sexist when people attacked Clinton for non-gender related reasons, but the even worse, most vicious, over the top comments directed at Sarah Palin were fine, right?I know if you arent a bot or a troll that you are smart enough to not believe this idiotic remark.
Take your ignorant racist bs to this month's klan rally. Maybe they'll buy it.
I have had long, respectful conversations with black colleagues about race relations. They appreciated my honest, considerate, dialogue and willingness to hear their side to better understand racial issues. I am the wrong target for false racism claims buddy. Stop it. Now. If you keep it up it will be considered harrassment and I will pursue whatever I need to.
Yes, ive accused cowboy of racism myself. Mostly because he makes specifically racial comments about large swaths of white people, often in a topic in which race is not relevant. You dont have any reason to accuse me of it. I have not made far-reaching, disparaging comments about people and specifically bringing their race into it.
Grow up. If you think I said something racist, point it out and ask me about. Dont make trumped up blanket statements just to impugn me because i dont support people like Bernie or Elizabeth Warren and the ideas they put forth. Ill be the first white guy in the room to sit down and talk about race relations compassionately with people of other ethnicities. Because I have been.
Again, youre warned. Stop it. I have not made over the top racial diatribes against large swaths of the population like the 1 individual I do admittedly call out. And if he wants to respectfully, politely challenge me on my thoughts, ill have that debate. You dont seem to want that.
