    The coment is not "about" their color. It's about the country they came from. And the only reason he is (or appears to be) "confused" about their country is the color of their skin. Just like it was with Obama.

    Trump has never been "confused" about the country of origin of any white person. he seems to be always confused about the country of origin of anybody who is not white..

    That ist how his racism shows.

    Oh... and BTW, the fact that he is confused is not what makes him a racist. What that does is display his racists feelings. Makes them obvious for everybody to see.

    "Racist" is not something you do. It's something you are. What you do only displays it.

    Neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin, for instance, applauded Trump on his website, the Daily Stormer.

    “Man, President Trump’s Twitter account has been pure fire lately. This might be the funniest thing he’s ever tweeted,” Anglin wrote. “This is the kind of WHITE NATIONALISM we elected him for. And we’re obviously seeing it only because there’s another election coming up. But I’ll tell you, even knowing that, it still feels so good.”

    Okay. So it's about their nationality, not their race. So how is it racist?

    I don't understand why he need to target white people with his comments as well? I can certainly recognize Trump's ignorance on this question; as you have correctly pointed out that the origin of the women in question are American (at least as three of them are). However, these facts are ancillary to the question: "How was it racist?" The comments don't appear to be distinguished on race, as he addressed four women with different racial backgrounds among themselves. He appears to be making comments on their nationality and their behavior towards the United States instead.

    I don't care about how you perceive him; that isn't what I'm asking about. I'm asking about how his comments are racist. That is my very first question.

    They are all US citizens. It is about their ethnicity, not nationality.

    The media's spasm will last another 48 hours. Then they'll move on to some other hysteria.

    It's about the nonstop nonsense that pours out of their mouths.

    It's not about their race, nationality, or favorite sports team.

    you have the tweet, it's easy to read, when you tell someone to go back to their country the way he did, it's racist, especially when their Country is America

    No. Read again. For your benefit, I just opened a thread because i think this is important for everybody on the right to understand?

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...racists-because-they-do-racist-things.558813/

    "Need"? Why is it always in a right-wingers mind and only in a right-wingers mind that people "need" to harm other people?

    What reason other than racism would lead him to comment on their nationality?

    My answer has nothing to do with how I "perceive" him. So I don't think you care about that either. You are clearly trying to justify his obvious racist behavior to yourself.

    Good luck with that!

    Because they are the loudest, most vocal, and nastiest in their condemnation of everyone who disagrees with their insanity, hateful rhetoric, antisemitism, and and anti Americanism.

    Like another racist act by the President.... Or maybe another Presidential sex scandal.... Or yet another one of his staff who turns out to be a criminal... Or another criminal act by the President himself.... Or some other idiotic mess up your guys gets our country into.

    I do hope it's 48 hours. Feels like this guy's screw-ups now are almost every day....

    You are projecting Donald Trump.

    The Squad are among the greatest most patriotic Americans in Congress. And they are exactly the opposite of Donald Trump. So you have to project his faults onto them. It's what Republicans are trained to do.

    BS They are hateful, hate filled idiots with grandiose plans and no idea whatever how to implement those plans or how they will affect everyone else nor do they care. They scream racist at the drop of a hat with little or no evidence to support the charge. That you want to give aid and comfort to the self righteous morons does not speak well for you.

    They will be talking about it and educating people on how massively stupid and dishonest people are to call it racist.

    All intelligent people who are honest knows it was not racist because it was not

    That resolution is irrelevant and proves nothing

    Sorry but the absolute fact is that it was not racist and you cannot even challenge that fact

    And he has not displayed it.

    Country of origin does not define race even for racists which why his tweet was not racist and your claim he is racism is a false claim with no evidence

    Yes I stated fact as well that his tweet was not racist and that is a fact which you cannot dispute.

    Here is a hint congress can condemn whatever they wish but it proves nothing except that we have idiots in congress who do not grasp what racism means.
