True, there's also this to consider, but the point was that she's long since taken responsibility for it and not just in her words, but her actions as well. Trump has done nothing

She appologised when she was confronted by Black Lives Matters activists. Even Bernie criticised her use of the term. Racist is racist is racist. If you think the Clinton's are and different to Trump I'm terms of moral values your kidding yourself. The difference is that the Clintons are smart and Trump now a clown. That didn't help them win the election though.

Trump hasn't had time to act on anything yet. He certainly didn't do enough to distance himself from white supremacist groups, and he should really go on TV and call these people out, but people aren't racist because of Donald Trump. I think the country is divided enough as it is without every crime or hieness act being politicised. It called the United States but there isn't much uniting it at all.

If he acts on many of his campaign promises then fuck him. But I think you'll find that he won't be building a wall and he won't be mass deporting people and he won't be banning all Muslims from entering the country. They were never likely to happen. The dude is a car salesman.

Why are you supporting Trump? You ignore my point about the Central Park rapes and him not apologizing (if that isn't enough time, what is?). You ignore the fact he HAS been confronted numerous times and hasn't apologized any of them. If you honestly think the only difference between the Clintons and Trump is them being smart, then I don't know what to say to you, because you're clearing glossing over everything being said and done by both parties

Man if I were there I would've asked to see the asshole who dares have a veterens meal taken away.

These people claim to be patriotic yet tarnish the small scrapes of dignity we still have.

Personally even if a Trump administration did nothing for its 4-8 years, it will still serve to stain the fabrics of our nation through the emboldening of these cowardly racists.

A WW2 vet for fucks sake. The man is literally apart of the last generation of soldiers that you can objectively call heroes.

I had a great uncle who served in WWI as the person in charge of an all black unit (for the record, he was white). There job was to go into areas where mustard gas was used and bury dead animals (and transport any dead human bodies they found back to HQ). I somehow doubt this idiot's claim that he was in Germany in any form.

As someone's that's Black and took offense to Clinton's comments (and her husband's policy of locking up Black men) You're creating a false equivalence. There's a difference in a politician saying something racist or doing something racist and admitting it's a fuck up compared to a man who ran on a platform of it. I mean, for fuck's sake he's appointing the head of Brietbart to his cabinet....like, c'mon son...

I'd also like to point out that we're at now, now. I'm not "worried" about twenty years ago. Myself and millions of others are worried about now. The rhetoric Trump has put out has a direct influence on people. Why you're not focused on that and more focused on "But, Clinton too!" is beyond me.

So if she had just said "Wrong" or "I never said that" all would be fine right? Or do lies only work for the right? At least she admitted a mistake and apologized for it, which is the better thing to do when you have egg on your face than to double down.

I don't follow. He signed a full page ad petitioning the reinstatement of the death penalty for a horrific crime.

The NYPD had already arrested them, beaten confessions out of them and charged them with the crime before Trump was involved. They were convicted by two juries and went to prison before being released on appeal.

As far as Trump knew, they were guilty. What is it that makes him racist?

Clinton called black males "super predators". Do you think all of her voters are aligned with that way of thinking?
Click to expand...

1) No Hillary didn't. Hillary in the speech with the super predator's comment was talking about cracking down on gangs in connection to Bill Clinton's 1994 crime bill. But because the crime bill sent a disproportionate amount of black people to jail, the connection was made to black people after the fact, but never directly.

2) If we were talking about comments Trump made in 1996 like Hillary's "super predator" comment, and not 2015-16 comments Trump made during his election campaign in order to attract voters with those statements, there would be much less of a problem, since we would have had over 20 years for Trump to clean up his act.

The difference between Clinton and Trump is that Trump campaigned on promises like building a wall, Muslim bans, punishing journalists, etc... that fueled behavior from groups of people that needed to be extinguished. Now we have reports like this story and elsewhere on people being harassed by Trump supporters that feel embolden by his victory because of this rhetoric. Trump didn't make these people racist, but he validated their behavior and regardless of what he says or does now these people have what he did during his campaign as motivation for their actions.

You're forgetting the part where he doubled down after they were released on appeal.... It would help if you actually took the time to educate yourself on these issues:

Mr. Trump has also suggested that the teenagers were guilty of something that night because, as he wrote in an editorial for The New York Daily News in 2014, “these young men do not exactly have the pasts of angels.”

Right. Trump is less likely to follow through on those crazy campaign promises but he is setting a tone which enables and emboldens crazy fucking white supremacists. When you figure how this affects minorities on a local level, you realize their daily interactions with law enforcement, which historically has been full of racists and still is to this very day, and others will be even more hellacious in many places.

Not to even mention his commentary on hispanics and Muslims. Now, at some point you can plead simple ignorance or indifference (both are among of the many conveniences that comes with privilege), but for the rest of us it's Monday and these matters are well known and well documented. There's a REASON people are saying he has very real issues with race. There's a REASON why the alt right are excited about him. There's a REASON why he's endorsed by the Klan.

Honestly, it continues to be disappointing that in 2016 someone that is probably at least marginally informed about other things and knows how to navigate the internet wouldn't have chosen to avail himself in the knowledge of these issues and transgressions in order to make a good voting decision (instead of passively or out of ignorance accepting a candidate with real race issues). But again, it is privilege that allows some of us the convenience of not having to know or care. Issues that affect us minorities don't affect you right, so why would you care? Why would they be issues that impact your vote, amirite?

I understand the concern, I just don't think it does any good to label all Trump Supporters racist or sexist. Racism is probably the biggest social issue in America right now and no progress will be made if half of the electorate is alienated.

My initialpoint was that it's entirely possible to have voted for Trump and also to be compmetely against most of his campaign points.

Some people didn't think for a second about how a Trump presidency would make things horrible for minorities because in their communities they don't have any. It's not part of their daily lives. Short sighted and possibly simple minded yes, but potentially not racist or sexist at all.

LMAO how did I know this would come down to the bullshit "both sides are the same!!!!".

Also, Hillary's comment from the 90s vs. literally running on a platform of hate and giving no policies throughout an entire campaign. Glad to know you're ignorant on what you're arguing. Yes, pivot from its all the DNC's fault to "whelp they ran the same campaign, you're fooling yourself if you think there's any differences between them!".

I called it a heinous act.

And I don't think I have defended him. I certainly wouldn't have voted for him - as I said, I feel like Bernie was a better candidate and got screwed by the DNC. I would have voted for Bernie if he was in contention and I was a US citizen.

Racism exists everywhere in the world but America seems to have a particular problem that I find hard to comprehend. It can't solely be slavery because Britain had slavery too and we seem to be in a much better place than America.

I just don't think you can tackle these kind of societal problems by creating a clear divide between two political parties and labeling one party a bunch of deplorable racists. Doesn't that just compound the problem?

Oppression of black people didn't end with Slavery(and it took a damn Civil War to abolish it). It was another 100 years before they were officially stopped being treated as 2nd class citizens. We have people alive today who had to live through that shit. So, it's no surprise why it's still a huge issue, because it's still reltively a fresh wound in the grand scheme of things. (and this country has a political party who have routinely pitted groups of people against each other)

All Trump voters may not be actively racist or sexist, but by voting for a platform which was rooted in both of those (and promoted both of those), all Trump voters have said that they believe racism and sexism are OK.

How do you know/think that? Incidents like this are not a uniquely American version of racism. Odds are, things like this happen in the UK too. You've just isolated yourself from them so you don't even notice they're happening.

England and is colonial history should provide a frame of reference for why minorities are angry they aren't still equitable.

It's hard to tell as many instances in other countries don't make the media. So it may seem that they don't have problems when (if you actually talked to minorities) they really do. Read up on Jim Crow laws in the US if you really want an answer. Because that's it.

We didn't create the divide. Once again who fought against Blacks being free. Not because of racism of course but because of economic self-interest? Who fought against women voting. Who fought every piece of social progress.

So like I said. Not all Republicans are racists. But most racists in America are Republican. That's just reality.

Trump gear is the new Confederate Flag.

Tell me it isn't. Tell me why I'm wrong and why I shouldn't see it that way.

tbh, it's probably a lot more accurate. A bunch of my in-laws are Trump supporters in rural PA, and them sporting confederate flags always confused the shit out of me. Like, I get the MAGA hat, but yo, you missed the Mason-Dixon line by several hundred miles.

So the vast majority of what, 43 million people? that voted for him are racist?

The vocal majority it seems absolutely are and the rest can tolerate it which is almost as bad. Anecdotal I know, but every trump supporter I know in NJ is a racist, my best friend who I am no longer talking to is one, my former boss and the owner of my former place of work who openly stated they would never hire a black person are racist (part of the reason I don't work there anymore is because I called them out for being racist scumbags), and my fathers side of the family including my dad are racist scumbags as well. So yes with my few examples most republicans are racists.
