    1) You are saying he does not negotiate overseas with people of different races, ethnicities and creeds?

    2) He did not. That is how you and some in the media interpreted it.

    Next you will be accusing us of unfairly using his own words against him. The horror.

    I'll quote the most obviously bigoted thing he said which was not a dog whistle.
    The comparison would be saying that a white judge could not fairly judge this case because he would naturally be sympathetic towards Trump because he's white.

    That seems to be how many of his followers interpreted it, considering what we're now seeing done in his name.

    You see this as bigotry. Some see it as politically pandering and wondering if the Judge had a conflict of interest due to his environment.

    And it can be argued Just as many people on the left in politics question white authority figures and their White lives judging black people to jail at higher rates.
    Does that mean those officials should not be elected? it goes both ways.

    Bullshit. Are you saying that people are saying that white people should not be judges.

    Just because you make up something doesn't make it true and even if it was true I'm sure it was not a former or future president.

    The same is applied on both sides of the political spectrum who make claims and assumptions based on race.

    The larger point of focus is that he going to try and solve problems here in America that have nothing or very little to do with race.

    These issues have to do with money and people think he can focus on that.
    Whether or not that comes into fruition remains to be seen and he can be a failure but I don't think what he believes in personally about race issues will be a factor in any way shape or form.

    Trump's children are supposed to be the "blind trust" taking care of his business interests. Which is not how that works, from what I know.

    Same Trump offspring are named to his transition committee this afternoon.

    What conflict of interest?

    If he is doing anything illegal you can bet your bottom dollar the media will pick up on and and call for him to be impeached immediately.

    I'm scanning through this thread, are we really asserting that if one voted for PE Trump, they are racists and bigots? Has anyone considered that Clinton was THAT bad?

    Cmon people.

    No.

    At best you just told minorities that you don't care.

    This is good in a way. We can finally stop acting like Racism and homophobia doesn't exist. We can never again say to women "are you sure, think about his career?". We can finally say with 100% certainty that rape culture is a thing.

    They need an excuse. They just cannot fathom that their candidate lost so it must be because of something inherently evil.

    Trump winning was necessary for the DNC to finally take a long hard look at themselves. It's time for them to come back to the left and stop bing 90s republicans. After this, they might actually be able to call themselves progressives and it will be true.

    I think the relevant fact of what we are witnessing in the aftermath of the election is that people are letting fear govern their actions.

    There also seems to be some pushback against the political correctness that has permeated our society. I don't think it is a lack of acceptance of genetic disposition/lifestyles as much as it is that people do not want it shoved down their throat, as to what a person's particular orientation is. If you want to tell people about your orientation they ought to be able to tell you about their faith.

    The border issues are real to uneducated America. They did inflate the labor force by tens of millions of workers or so in the last decade. This was done with the justification that Americans don't want those jobs. The reality is that Americans would not do them for the wage being offered. Rather than offer more they imported a labor force for exploitation, Capitalism 101. That doesn't mean they hate brown people, the hate the government allowed this influx of undocumented laborers (illegal aliens).

    Rather than blame Trump for stirring up the hatred, and at the same time stirring up hatred for him. Perhaps it is time for the libs to look at why the hate exists, and how their actions have contributed to the anger that seethes in about half of the country that voted for him.

    The largest displays of protest I have seen have been mostly from the folks with the liberal agenda angry that half of America is sick of them and disagree with a how their agenda has worked for them. It is great irony that their actions of protest and reactions of fear may well bring the thing they fear upon them. Very sad.

    LOL wut?e

    Clinton supporters should not mention "rape culture" or 'sexual harrasment." I mean dick in mouth under desk sounds like sexual harrassment in the workplace to me.

    Grabbing a woman's pussy is only a problem if the woman in question has a problem with it. When you have ridiculous money often times it does not matter.

    If you're so blase about it, do it publicly in front of a bar bouncer or someone else who will turn you into a pile of mush.

    Could you please de-activate the Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk" thing? It's bordering on spam.
