    I agree that these folks are nut jobs. Labeling them "white supremacists" diminishes that.

    That is actually a core issue in this country right now. What was once used and accepted as truth and accuracy is no longer viable due to political position, there is a very high probability you follow and rely solely on FOX news and Brightbart. That is what is intended by these organizations and it has been successful for the most part with the influx of Presidential support. This "Fake News" phenomenon has little to do with inaccurate reporting and much to do with angry politics and has all but destroyed the idea of a free press in 1/3 of our population.

    Using the phrase "white supremacist" is racist.

    Were you the one that asked if I preferred they fly airplanes into buildings?



    ?

    I've posted more than a few about gun violence in general. I deliberately don't get into gv in specific areas. I'm against ANY guns ANY where. Guns are generally portable

    I disagree. White Supremacy itself is a type of psychosis. Like Flat Earth but far more malign

    Quote his racist statements

    The recent tweets, which were so controversial, were not racist

    .

    His support is implied. Many especially despised political ideologies are rarely if ever mentioned by name.

    I wonder what they count as a mass shooting? That would average more than one per day and there has not been an average of more than one per day of what I would call a mass shooting.

    If you don't like it here, you can leave.

    This implies that the person criticised is not part of this country, even though they were born here or are a naturalized citizen, according to our laws.

    They were not racist TO YOU but were to those he offended...that is how this seems to work. Most who are bigots do not think they are and most who are targeted try to point it out in defense...it is a no win situation so the best bet is to simply avoid the bigotry. It just becomes more difficult when the POTUS come into play.

    Wrong.
    They were not racist to anyone of any intelligence who can grasp what racism is

    They simply were not racist that is fact not opinion.

    Being offensive is irrelevant

    You are misquoting the president

    He said leave and go fix the problems in your own country before coming back and attacking America

    Much like foreigners posting here who want to bash America when they should be solving problems in their own country

    So using the phrase "racist" is racist?

    And the Nazis were not racists?

    No using the phrase is not racist

    Yes the Nazis were racist

    You had to misquote trump to call his tweet racist which proves they were not

    This IS their country. They are Congresspeople HERE, solving our problems is their JOB, what they were elected to do. Trump seems unable to grasp the fundamental principle that ALL citizens of the US ARE US CITIZENs like he did with the judge that had an Hispanic name.

    True and it was dumb of him to suggest they came from another nation

    But that does not make it racist

    The tweets were rather stupid but not racist to try again

    Interesting, according to your commentary I lack the intellect to "Know" what racism is...I suppose your Opinion is Fact.
