    If only half of us believe trump is a racist that means the other half doesn't know him. They only believe what they want to know.

    They make excuses for his racism and many of them are racists themselves.

    This video will give you an idea of how delusional and dishonest some Trump supporters are:

    You have bad information. This is just another example of the fact that the winners write the histories.

    From your link:

    "The OED’s earliest citation for shitholeis from the seventeenth century, and it’s given as ‘coarse slang’ for ‘the rectum or anus’. The earliest citation for shithole meaning ‘a toilet; a latrine’ is only from 1947."


    The term was discovered by American soldiers who raided Hitler's 'Eagle's Nest'.

    The dictionaries don't want to give the credit to Hitler, because doing so would extend that credit to Trump.

    One could argue that Trump is Hitler's spiritual successor. His propaganda about making America great again will lead us in to World War III eventually involving nuclear weapons. The survivors will be living in sh*t holes then.

    Sometimes,.... all I ask if that you actually read what was written. The term was first produced in the 16 hundreds. Right?

    Anyone with any sense would avoid nuclear war at all costs which is why the generals were so disturbed with Trump's twitter wars with North Korea.

    Prove he's a racist. Citing media misquotes certainly isn't it.

    That was all media hype. Always was. Manufactured crisis for the dummies to tune in and be solicited by advertisers.

    It's not my job to educate you. You have a world of information right there at your finger tips. Any thing you want to find out you can. Problem is you have to want to.

    I was asking you to defend your assertions. The burden of proof for your own claims is on your feet and nobody else's. Try quoting him fully and in context and come back to us with that.

    The burden of proof is one anyone claiming he is not racist (Logical Fallacy: Shifting of the Burden of Proof).

    I made this thread. I presented evidence supporting my position. You are entitled to your opinion. You are not entitled to your won set of facts. Claiming that comments were taken out of context is an excuse unless you can explain how they were.

    First off, saying that he is racist is an accusation in which by it's very definition, requires proof.
    Which you just did.
    Well, he wasn't quoting you anyway.
