    They don't appear to realize this comical nature of this.

    Yes, because no racist ever told anyone "Go back where you came from." You guys are rich.

    That statement calls for the operation of the mind and you are not qualified to tell me what I think. What I really think is that we have a bunch of big babies exchanging childish insults. Some have Ds by their name while others have Rs. Just different sides of the same ugly coin.

    I have not taken a position on this issue that would require me admitting to being wrong. The statement at face value is not racist. It was a cheap shot.

    No us guys are smarter than you

    If a racist says it the statement is still NOT racist

    Words have meaning which do not change based on the speaker and he said nothing racist

    Deal with it

    no that's false at least one of them came from a different country and saying go back to where your family is from to them is not how did Rachel spite its out of spite for their stupidity if they weren't f****** idiots I doubt anybody would be telling them to go back where they came from.


    I don't know what's wrong with you I am already here this is where I came from I can't go back to a place I already am.

    If I'm in the kitchen I can't go back to the kitchen unless I leave.

    It doesn't matter where people are from to me....

    but I'm just wondering why people in general should or would go back to countries their ancestors are from.

    This is what Trump the "president" suggested.

    The racist tag isn't what it used to be, now it's simply if you don't agree with me and I've got brown or black skin you're racist.

    False? 3 are the 4 women are from here.

    Just like you, why would or should they "go back" to the country where their ancestors are from?

    And why did Trump assume those 3 were from other countries?

    He assumes that about everyone he meets?

    Truth? Looking back at the whole rotten, miserable time period, we started dying on 9/11/2001. Idiot "W" Bush was a disaster, and Idiot "Messiah" Obama was a CATASTROPHE! Trump is trying to pull things back into some semblance of sanity, but it's probably too late now....

    First of all -- before anything else -- Trump needs to declare a very real, genuine national emergency and SEAL THE BORDER SHUT TO ALL IMMIGRATION for a moratorium period of at least five years!

    How do you know whether it was racist or not?

    If you think others are assuming...

    well guess what, so are you.

    You sound like you should go back to where you or your ancestors are from.

    The reason it is racist is because it is usually said by white people to people who are not, regardless if they were born here.

    Like white people would ask second generation Asians where they are from. Would tell 3rd generation blacks to “go back” to Africa, but would not tell a white American to go back to Europe.

    I do not think others are assuming

    Others are openly accusing it and all of those accusations are proven lies.
    I know it was not racist because I have excellent reading comprehension

    You are lacking in that area.

    He said nothing racist and mentioned no one's race.

    That is all fact

    Sorry ibob I don't trust anything you post because you've basically been wrong about every thing you've predicted on Trump. The fiber of our country is being exploited now, you guys seriously want to allow anyone in without even a f'ing background check. You don't give a rats ass what it's doing to the all the American cities on the border and you don't give a rat's ass about what happens to these people when they get here. You paying for them a place to stay, eat, drink? Ofcourse not all your doing is saying come in have fun we won't deport you even if you break our laws.

    Now your party is literally labeling every criticism and ism and it's pathetic, childish and a sure way for you to lose an election. We are not stupid we see who the real racist are and it's probably the ones pushing segregated campuses now, it's probably the one's saying those people attacked us, and it's probably the ones that attack ice and the police daily. The more the wacko's lefts takeover your party the sooner this country does an about face on wacko liberalism.

    excuse me you're the only person asking me where I came from nobody else has the only reason you would want to know is because you care or because it matters to you.

    You can lie to yourself and believe it that's fine but I'm not going to believe it.

    these dumbass Congress members? Because we don't want them f****** up our nation. I don't care if they go to Bangladesh or Mars or if they jump off a f****** cliff just so they know they are not welcome here.

    Well done President Trump. Telling f****** idiots to leave.

    I'm willing to bet if they weren't as dumb as the sun is hot he wouldn't be saying this.

    If you don't want to be told to leave our country don't be a dumbass.

    Being said by white people does not make it racist

    Words do not magically become racist when white people say them and minorities say the same thing all the time

    Minorities can be often are racist but saying go back where they come is not racist no matter who says it

    And yes whites often tell Europeans of every type to back home where they came from.

    Especially the French for example


    You are dead wrong and a massive failure and it was not a racist tweet period

    Number one he said they could go back and fix there country then come back and tell us how to do it. This has nothing to do with race, when everyone says if Trump wins we're leaving the country and we say fine we'll buy you a ticket, that's not racist. It's real simple, if you hate this country so much that's giving you and the world so much, take off if you believe what you say, go find your great country. Now you won't be able to walk across the border here without getting arrested but you can head to that embassy and get in line, that's how immigration works in the real world.

    Just because he didn't mention anyone's race, that doesn't mean he wasn't thinking it.

    So you don't know.

    It makes perfect sense for Trump to tell all people from the U.S. to go back to countries where their ancestors are from.

    He does that all the time.

    He used to tell that to Rosie O'Donnell and John McCain and all the other tons of Americans he's had a beef with...right?

    Who doesn't do that? It's perfectly normal and expected.

    one of them is Hispanic and no Hispanic people don't come from New York they come from Central America. one of them is Arab Arab people do not come from the United States they come from the Arabian area. And I don't know who the other two ****wits are and I don't care.

    because they're dumber than a sack of hammers we don't need any more at the beach we should be exporting idiots.

    if you don't want to be divided made fun of by how stupid you are don't be stupid.
    about two of them are so you're wrong.

    no probably just the morons.

    Yes we on PF are but it seems as though media members are not.

    What Trump said is something that lots of people think or have thought but didn't dare say in a public setting. It's horrible for civil discourse but if ones paying attention he isn't the only one saying or doing these things that degragate discourse.

    I get it Trump's the president and the buck stops there but since when did someone else doing something inappropriate give everyone else free reign to also say and do inappropriate things? It reminds me of the saying "if you friend jumped off a bridge would you?"

    If you're a POC in the First World, you get to be a perfect being. Every mistake you make will be someone else's racism. It's a very good system. As good as the old cast systems, where another kind of accident of birth determined your worth.

    And you crazy kids thought the First World had moved beyond that kind of thing forever. LOLs.
