Are all Trump supporters racists?

varwoche said:
Previously, you claimed to have been told (more times than you can count) by Trump supporters that you should be placed in a camp, or some such extreme bs. While I'm still highly dubious of that claim, I can more easily envision it having happening seeing that you spout this sort of inflamatory rhetoric.

If nothing else, this election has been a bitter reminder that frothing, mindless extremism isn't the exclusive domain of the right.

You prefer I lie to people and tell them I like them when I hate them with my every fiber of being?

I'm not prescribing your behavoir. It's your choice if you want to live your life consumed by seething hatred and irrationality. You should realize though that indulgence in these sorts of feelings is apt to distort your perceptions, making you an unreliable observer.

And I wanted to repeat it so there is no ambiguity.

If Trump was a brick through the window to make us pay attention to underemployed rednecks it will work but only inasmuch as it makes me want to destroy them faster.

I'm probably wasting my time, but seriously, Travis. For as long as I can remember reading your posts on this board, you've come across as completely miserable. Life is short. Maybe it's time to try something different, no?

Laughable from a certain point of view that is. I have two words for you.

Actually, those are two very good words - they indicate a path I'd like to see the GOP in general follow starting today.

Byrd was, at first, a klansman, a segregationist, etc. at some point, he reformed, apologized for what he did, and became a force for civil rights. HE was still somewhat crass, but his actions showed that he was truly sorry for what he had done beforehand. And he does deserve credit for that.

At this point, the only person in the GOP I can see who gives a damn about civil rights, and is consistent in his "small government" views is Rand Paul. And while I disagree with his philosophy, there are certainly areas where we strongly agree, such as police militarization. I would like to see people like John McCain or Lindsay Graham step up on civil rights issues at the national level as well, I certainly think it's in their grasp. But at this point, the GOP is led by a white nationalist, and it's up to them to fix the situation. Until then, **** 'em. Again, we can hear y'all.

I think that would be preferable.

I think I have to pull your card on this one. Your anger is an indulgence that people like my family cannot afford. When you lash out at them, they vote to harm us. And then we move to defend ourselves, and it becomes a mess, because we certainly won't let crap slide.

People like that certainly won't listen to me. I'm either taking "their" money through "welfare", or taking "their" jobs through "affirmative Action". Trust me, I've tried, does not work.

You may be able to, if you listen, and think about how to get through to them. So Why not do that, instead? Obviously, that doesn't mean that you just say you like them, and leave it at that. But try to get them to think about things as well. I've seen "white" people get through to one another on these issues before.

You're new around here? Been camping out with the boyz through the last ten years. "Oh, yeah!? Robert Byrd!" gives me Coulter Alt-History Bingo! I win with five across diagonally!

(The premise being that Republican bigotry apologists will pull out certain cards in any discussion. You've got most of them, but "Oh, yeah?! Robert Byrd!" was the middle box.)

So three words for you "Two Thousand Sixteen". What Beauregard P. Entwhistle III did back in '47 doesn't interest us. The fact that Lincoln freed the slaves has nothing to do with voter oppression in the 20teens. The Dixiecrats be dead, bro! The Klan votes GOP. The neo-nazis vote GOP. The alt-right is bragging that they won the election for the GOP. The bigots in the country, regardless of how high one pegs the number, if they vote, vote GOP.

You are welcome to agree with their programs but don't try to sell us on that Coulter Crap... that the Republicans are the REAL party of the black voter. If you do, at least gin up your game. "Nyah nyah, you're the party of the Klan and bigotry" winds up biting you in the ass.

The Klan votes GOP today as a result of leaving the Democratic Party in protest of the pandering to Black voters and minority groups that they view as a threat to their traditions and values, given that those sort of values are considered warped by most Americans. Regardless, to ignore the philosophy that created it is an insult to intelligence. I realize this is something the Democrat party is not proud of, but one must admit had it not been for their actions there wouldn't be large minority groups to take advantage of today.

Ask yourself who has been in charge of these problem inner cities? Who lives there and who has been elected to help those in the inner cities? Whatever philosophy you share, one has to admit that there is a problem within these communities. One must admit that those in office there have been Democrats. This leads to a simple question.....Why are these areas still a problem? It's certainly not Republicans keeping them down. So what gives?

Obviously something is wrong. It doesn't matter whether you are Republican or Democrat I'm certain we all want safety and prosperity for all those Americans that have been left out of the American dream. My children can play outside safely, I expect the same for everyone else's kids. Every American deserves safety and security. Every American deserves the dignity of a job and one that pays enough to support his family. The American dream is still alive, but it's been relocated to Mexico and China.

What has been happening to these people is outrageous and disgusting. And yes, the Democrats in charge have done nothing to fix it. Are their actions Racist? Absolutely. The inner cities are modern day plantations. Defend that.

Oh my, you are in deep. Byrd was still making racist statements in 2001 so no, you can't take the racist out of the man simply because he pandered to a single minority group for votes in public. Career politicians tend to say whatever they need to say to get elected.


In the 2016 election ask yourself, which Presidential candidate spoke to ALL Americans of ALL races during their campaign? And which candidate simply ignored a large part of the population because they thought THAT vote was unimportant and not needed to win?

Are you quite certain your chosen team represents ALL Americans or just the most likely voting groups for their party?

Something to think about. Chris B.

Platitudes. Ignorant platitudes. If the problem is Democratic Party administrations, how do you explain how poorly rural Southern blacks are doing under Republican administrations? Cities do not control their own destinies. They have to, in many cases, deal with state legislatures that are GOP controlled and with a Congress that is hell-bent on cutting budgets of all social programs.

At least the GOP are equal opportunity screwers, I guess. They screw the white poor along with the black. The difference seeming to be that the white poor bend over and say, "Thank you sir. May I have another?"

You'd have a better case arguing he had no strong feelings either way on the subject.

When the Democrat leadership wanted him to be racist, he joined the Klan, when they wanted him to decry racism, he expressed contrition for that political error.

Wait now Trump is a victim of Trumps sexual misconduct? We have his own words that he sexually assaults women and barges in on the changing rooms of teenagers.

I know Trump is not the most reliable of informers on the actions of himself but he should still be counted in those accusing him of doing these things.

You work with what you have. Again, I won't argue that the dems are all saints, or that republicans are all racist devils. Neither one is true.

Byrd would not have been my choice for senator or whatever. But at the same time, it's worth noting that he did reform. It's worth applause, regardless of why he did it.
 
Myriad said:
Can I point to this thread in the future when addressing claims that all white Americans are racist? Because if that's the case, then all white Trump supporters being racist follows automatically (as does all white Clinton supporters being racist, all white Obama supporters being racist, and so forth) and there's nothing really to discuss.

Yes, yes you can!!!! Many people work that way anyway!!!!!!

Can I just please state that left and liberal and not synonyms. Liberal and left policies are very different in many areas, but they do overlap in some areas as do liberal and right policies. That does not mean that liberal policies are inherently "centralist" they are simply not on the same axis as the traditional right and left.
